Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

The new Tudor Black Bay in Bronze, via Hodinkee.

43 mm (up from 41 mm) case in bronze, in-house, chronometer grade movement, and supplied with a patinated leather strap and the fabric one pictured, which is made from elastic from a French rescue parachute according to Monochrome Watches.

This is the nicest iteration of the Black Bay so far, well apart from the Only Watch piece, but we can't afford that.

And the Black Bay Dark: 41mm, in-house movement, PVD finish.

Don't like the fact that they boosted the size up to 43 mm.  The black/blue/red versions are preferable imho.

Tudor Heritage Black Bay in a 36mm case. Not an in house movement. One for @Anesthetist?

More at Hodinkee.

Steel Daytona with a black Cerachrom bezel. It'll no doubt get a few of you excited.

@Snowy weren't you looking for a GMT watch? Omega have just announced a Seamaster with this complication based around their Master Chronometer movement, so antimagnetic. More at aBlogToWatch.

Abso-friggin-lutely! Now to figure out if I need another Tudor or if I should go for the new IWC pilot. I'm sure this will be quite a bit more affordable. Thanks for the heads up.

Serious question prompted by the really lovely Daytona above- does anyone ever use the tachymeter on their watch?

[GingerMagician]

Why oh why have the messed around with the end links on the new PVD version?

Have always quite fancied trying a watch with this sort of finish (though not sure I could ever spend Tudor sort of money on one), but those non-flush end links are damn fugly…

Both use an ETA base, so it's really down to the case style. I like the looks of the Tudor better, but IWC do some pretty heavy modifications to the movement, and it's antimagnetic.

Buy both, and then blame me in the inevitable divorce proceedings. :o

No idea, but I'm liking the Daytona too, and I'm not a Rolex fan.

Exactly this.

Having said that, I do like the new Explorer with the extra lume. Via Hodinkee.

Thank God, Rolex FINALLY fixed the handset on the 39mm Explorer.
