Watches - another OCD problem

An Afternoon In Tokyo With The Man Who Designs Casio G-Shock Watches
It's at the opposite end of the scale to the usual stuff I post, but worth a read.
If you want the usual service, then this piece at Hodinkee on the Patek Philippe Easter calculator is for you. Any article that references Donald Knuth and Carl Friedrich Gauss is always going to be a winner in my book.

^^ Nice double red. The right one will come along with box and papers one day…
Thought I'd wear my 1675 from 1967. I never really liked this watch, but I grew fond of it and its rich history and so I eventually picked one up. Often times I wear it with a NATO. The dial and hour markers have a lovely patina.
Rolex invented the first smart watch with a built in app and it's the Pepsi.

i may have a problem
had Tourneau order me a brown strap so I can rotate between this guy and my Big Pilot. I figure its a pretty good small watch collection that will serve me well in 99% of the situations I'll find myself in.
Kinda wish I would have seen this guy before I bought my big pilot though. I love this guy. Really comfy, really classy, goes with everything.

^Nice 610. Almost thought it was a 190, but the hands aren't gold. Panerai's are nice because you can dress up/down. Try putting on an ammo strap. BP is a sweet piece. Congratulations @bubbapest

Compared to @Tempvs you barely register on the addiction cycle.
So what are you getting next?

Since diver's watches are popular, here are a trio of interesting new releases.
This is the Seiko Prospex Diver limited edition by Giugiaro Design. They're only available in Japan, and will cost ¥40,000 for the blue, and ¥45,000 for the gold. More at aBlogToWatch and Monochrome Watches.
The Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher has a regulator style dial, which has subdials for the hours and seconds. It'll be available in May for €2,900, including both a rubber strap and a titanium bracelet. More at Monochrome Watches.
The Ulysse Nardin Diver Le Locle has an in-house movement with a silicon drive train. It's expensive, though, at around CHF 9,600, about $9,600. More at Hodinkee and Monochrome Watches.
