Do I spy a double red Sea Dweller? If so, that's very, very nice!

Yes Double Red.
I've had it for over twenty years now. Was serviced last year but not polished.

Testing my Tourbillion to see if it's accurate.

Hodinkee have just produced a run of 25 Zenith El Primero chronographs for their shop. Unfortunately, they're already sold out.

It's a nice looking watch, though the write-up is a bit gushing. In particular, I like the fact that they bothered to get it COSC certified. I don't think that many Zeniths are chronometers.

The COSC is really only a timing test. The new Omega timing tests are way ahead of the COSC rating. Even very ordinary movements can be made to pass this test. Its really only a snap shot of the movement when its on test.

Tissot have had fantastic results in chronometer competitions with ETA movements, though I've heard some of the fancy tourbillons have poor accuracy.

I agree about the Omega testing though.

Tourbillion either work well and are set up correctly or they are a bit random. My most accurate one keeps to 2-3 seconds a day

Was that the Panerai you had tested the other day? I saw the rate numbers, but I'm not sufficiently savvy to interpret them.

I do like the fact that the Panerais hide the tourbillion on the back of the movement. They seem to exist to impress fellow watch nerds as much as anything, so the subtlety (an adjective that rarely applies to that brand :)) appeals.

The new Heuer, Omega (I think), and Chopard tourbillions are all COSC rated from memory, and the Jaeger gyrotourbillions tend to win chronometry competitions, so they can be accurate.

I'm not a big fan of the complication, but would probably get one if I had that chance. Hey, I'm not internally consistent!
