Watches - another OCD problem

@Graeme:

Rolex have a lot of photos on their Instagram feed of the Milgauss, including this very retro model.

Meh. The Milgauss with the green crystal is probably my favorite Rolex model. This one does not impress me.

Not that I was in the market for one, anyway…

Power reserves are great for manual wind watches.

@Giles:

Call me simple if you will, but what the fuck is the point of a power reserve?  If you are wearing the watch and moving, it's going to have power, if not, you pick the fucker up occasionally and shake it.  If you forgot, then it'll stop, but it's not like firing up a Saturn Rocket to get it going again….

Particularly for a manual diver.

Not usually a fan of ceramic watches, and I prefer the previous version of the SMPc, but this is hot

Omega have announced a few things recently. The De Ville Trésor 125th Anniversary is pretty good too.

[JDelage]

Both of those look great! $18k for the gold one though. Ouch.

[QuantumMechanic]

That's a nice watch.

Just reading an article at Time+Tide.

And I noticed that @Tempvs has a watch featured. The Good Art strap is a giveaway.

@Finn666:

Best guess without taking it to bits is 1980's

[Finn666]

thx sir!

@Graeme what are your thoughts on "the first rolex" mate?
thinking sea dweller since it's 43mm, which doesn't makes it look tiny on my wrist ^^

[Finn666]

tried this beauty the other day at the local bucherer store (it belongs to one of the staffs).
clearly the wristband is missing a couple of links, but still i felt like i should run away with it
