                                i may have a problem 🙂 🙂 🙂

                                Compared to @Tempvs you barely register on the addiction cycle. 😛

                                So what are you getting next?

                                Pretty much just popped a watch boner after @Tempvs latest run.  Gotta say I'm keeping my eye on the Speedmaster or the Fifty Fathoms

                                  His collection generates severe horological lust in most people! 😃

                                  The Mil-Spec is my favourite Fifty Fathoms, although you might scratch the chronograph itch with the Bathyscaphe Flyback. It's got a 5 Hz movement, which isn't that common, and makes it a bit more interesting than the usual suspects.

                                  As for Speedmasters, Worn and Wound has a piece about the Japanese scene, which is worth a read.

                                    I'm after a new watch, and took a look at a few Glashütte Original pieces today.

                                    The Senator Excellence came out recently, and uses the GO calibre 37, which has a hundred hour power reserve, and chronometer grade timekeeping. Hodinkee got very excited about it when it was launched. It's a simple, well-finished, and rather subtle watch. I like it a lot.

                                    The Senator Observer uses the previous generation movement, and isn't featured on the website. You can read about it at aBlogToWatch, Hodinkee, and Monochrome Watches. It's a bit bigger than the Senator Excellence (44 mm vs 40 mm), but I can get away with it. I prefer the black dial, even though the white is more historically correct.

                                    The next two watches are the Senator Chronometer, and the Senator Chronometer Regulator. I prefer the latter, though the blue dial is definitely cooler than the white.

                                    These watches have a really neat trick for setting the time. When you pull the crown out, the seconds hand resets to zero, and the minute hand jumps between the indicators. It has a nice, tactile feel to it.

                                    Lastly, this is the IWC Portugieser 75th Anniversary. It uses the same movement as the Pilot Heritage 48 that I like, but didn't feel as nice as the Glashütte Original watches.
