Watches - another OCD problem
-
Just realized I haven't posted here. This is my everyday watch. Used to be big into multiple time pieces, but in the last few years I have cut it down to just two. I also was obsessed with very large watched, but have found more subtle ones to be preferable these days.
Trying to work up to getting a Panerai, however, my IH purchases seem to keep that further away from me.
Anyways, here is my Hamilton X-Wind. Been wearing everyday for over two years, and I love it.

Can't really call the X-Wind small or subtle, but it is a great watch. I always wanted one with the yellow dial, which is, I think, the best looking of all the variations. I had to settle for the boring black one. But I got a bracelet, which is exceedingly nice, so not a complete loss, aesthetically speaking.

Also on the not subtle end of the spectrum is the IWC Big Pilot's Heritage 48. I've been wanting to take a look at one for a while, and found one in Sydney. It's a cool watch, but very, very big. :o

There's a 55 mm version if this hasn't got enough wrist presence for you.

For ref, how big is your wrist Graeme??

I think that they're about 7.5". I've seen a lot of smaller people on forums claim a similar size, so I don't know if I'm measuring wrong, or they exaggerate.
I am pretty tall (6'3"), and have large hands, so I can carry off a bigger timepiece. Whether I want to is a different question.

Pretty cool dial, I'm a sucker for subseconds at any rate.

A quick visit to Basel to drop off a friend and see a few watches.
For me one of the best new watches is the Seiko Diver. These are truly fantastic watches that have a certain something about them. It's the fact you are buying it purely for what it is and how's it's made, not because of branding or marketing.
It's the one I fancy buying next.
