      Man, I love the big date complication.  Is the Blancpain polished titanium? It's a bit hard to tell with the plastic wrap on, but it looks good, nonetheless.

        Brushed, I think all FF cased in Ti are. I'm not even sure what polished Ti would look like, but it would be a scratch magnet. Might form an interesting patina though.

        Think it, be it.

          I like that one a lot, but that's a hell of a premium over the steel version.  Plus, I think that model looks best in blue.  Maybe a blue ceramic case Seamaster will come down the pike eventually, to go with that blue Planet Ocean from a couple of years ago.

          And although the redesigned HEV is better, it remains functionally pointless and ugly.  Still hate it less than Rolex's date magnifying pustule, though.

          I’m having an HEV tattooed on my left wrist so all my watches have it to make you crazy

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            And I'm only going to buy watches in titanium, then I'm going to scratch them excessively, just to make your head explode.

              Titanium with a HEV? You need the Omega Seamaster in titanium, tantalum, and Sedna gold. 😃

              It's not got a date window, which might cause @mclaincausey some distress too. :o

                If they made a bronze flieger with no seconds hand, a He escape valve, on a pin and collar bracelet with fake rivets, a bronze relief count down bezel, a distressed dial with faux aged lume, and a cyclops over a roulette date, with at least 5 lines of text, in 45+mm, I think I might have a stroke.

                Think it, be it.

                  That's actually not bad. The Sedna gold kinda looks like bronze in that pic, which I like.  Not loving the bracelet, though.  Looks a bit Micheal Kors/Burberry/Gucci to me.

                    Moser have form in creating horological mashups. I'd suggest you avoid their press releases for Baselworld next year! 😃

                      That Moser is an abomination. Their Apple watch mock up was nice though.

                        It turns out the reason you can't get a Rolex Submariner is that no-one wants them! 😃

                              Has the Rock embraced the trend of wearing smaller watches? No, that's a 46 mm IWC Big Pilot's Perpetual Calendar! ???

                                  I got distracted by another Blancpain today, the Bathyscaphe Day Date 70s.

                                  It's a steel cased piece, so a bit heavier than the titanium Big Date I saw the other day. The dial looks fantastic, I'm not so sure about the day-date functionality, though I do like the Bathyscaphe Annual Calendar, which adds another window. The strap is a distressed leather, and is great.

                                      Haven't worn this one in a while.  I've always thought fully lumed dials should be more popular.

                                            500M? The model isn't on their page…?

                                            I've been intrigued by UTS for a while. Quite the piece of tooling...
