    @Giles:

    STOP IT

    How about something cheaper @Giles? 😛

    Seiko Prospex Diver SLA017 reissue, which should retail for €3800. It's a limited edition, with a movement based off the Grand Seiko line, and possibly sold out already.

    Details from Monochrome's review. Hodinkee have an announcement, which also includes the modern version of the watch.

          @QuantumMechanic:

          ^ It's a great watch!

          There's also the Kermit or 16610LV. It has a black dial with a non-ceramic green bezel. It is also very nice.

          yeah. the ceremic is 116610LV. the additional 1 in front stands for ceremic. otherwise the single 1 is the kermit. the ceremic green bezel and dial is called the hulk whereas the green bezel and black dial is kermit.

            I believe the Sea Dweller is my favourite watch. Although the JLC Tribute to Deep Sea is close.

              @QuantumMechanic nice collection there sir!

              I have had my eye on a panerai for quite sometime….the 1950 flyback models really peak my interest. However, it's a very hefty price tag.

                        @Dstauffer thanks. I used to be way more active with collecting watches, kind of got bored with it there for a while because there was a lack of innovation…merely slapping on a different colour dial and calling it a special edition. Richard Mille is one exception that comes to mind.

                        I still love them all 🙂

                        The Panerai flybacks are nice. What is it that you like about them, the function, the movement, the look? FWIW Panerai's complicated movements tend not to carry their value as well as their other complications. Have you looked on the second hand market?

                            Please & thanks

                            I'm not well versed in watches but this is such a special item with a great story

                                  The Chopard store in London emailed me today to see if I was interested in the LUC 8HF Power Control that they've had in stock for the past year. They must be getting desperate to shift it.

                                  Here's a photo of one from SalonQP in 2014

                                  And a wrist shot of a mock-up taken in (I think) the Watches of Switzerland store on Regent Street.

                                  It's an interesting timepiece. Most high-beat movements run at 4 or 5 Hz, but the 8HF runs at 8 Hz (57,600 vph). The only thing that runs faster is the Breguet 7727 at 10 Hz, which probably has the coolest modern calibre.

                                  This watch is from the second run of 250 pieces, and has a ceramic and titanium case. The original run of 100 lacked the power reserve, and came in polished titanium.

                                  Hodinkee and Perpetuelle have pieces about the watch if you want to know more.

                                    There's a review of the Black Bay Chronograph at aBlogToWatch. I'm a bit on the fence with this one, and I agree with the journalist that updating the Heritage Chrono would have been a smart move.

                                    Since it's a Tuesday, there's also a review of the first Master Chronometer Speedmaster. I like the non-moonphase Racing version that's just been launched.

                                        These Seiko watches are fantastic. The high beat movements they use are beautifully made to a very high level.
                                        The only thing that holds them back is branding.
                                        Generally people buy these watches purely for what they are not for some back story or branding.
                                        Which really is the way it should be. You look at it and buy it on its own merits not because it's been promoted and advertised to a massive extent.
                                        A bit like our favourite jeans. You buy them because they are great!
