      Daaaaamn I love the Glashütte the with the panorama. Usually they are a better value than that. Interesting bracelet construction.

      Think it, be it.

        I might have to check out that Glashutte when I'm in Vegas in a couple months. I'm not in the market for a new diver (still in love with my Omega SMPc nearly four years later), but the implementation of Arabic numerals on a diver is interesting. I've seen a couple other divers with big numerals on them before and they feel…puckered up. It's hard to explain but they feel like things are trying to escape into the center of the dial.

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

          It's crazy how much they borrow from FF. The black panorama looks like a blend of the FF and FF Bathyscaphe.

            Those SeaQ are very nice. A bit too tall for my taste (>15mm), and I would like yo see a profile shot. Still, very nice. I would have loved to see a dateless version.

            The date window on the panorama date watches I've seen in the past were often smaller than for those with the regular placement. I wonder how they did those to be bigger.

              The bottom 2 Omegas are very nice. The FF does nothing for me…

                @DougNg the Glashutte watches probably won't be out until September or October.

                @mclaincausey I like the panodate model too. I suspect that the similarities to the FF are because both are based around the ISO standard, which was based on the Blancpain. And both designs date from about the same period.

                    Numerous ways to do it, probably something like this, @JDelage

                    Or my favorite, this Lange approach:

                    Panorama or big dates are in my experience almost universally larger than single date wheel dates though, that's the point.

                    Think it, be it.

                      Me+ alcohol+ this phone with internet are bad news. I almost blew my savings just now to buy a Tag Heuer Calibre 12. It's like the nicest watch I've ever seen. It's so blue and pretty. I've had one on twice at the Duty Free at the airport… Maybe next year. I need to save more money...

                        At $5400 retail, I think this one belongs in the other watch thread, Filthy. lol

                          @Filthy if you're interested in the Monaco, there are rumours that a fiftieth anniversary model is going to be announced next week. I'll no doubt post it in the other watch thread, so as to keep @scooter happy. 🙂

                          The other thing to look out for is the Bamford limited edition that Tag Heuer produced last year. It's got a carbon fibre case, so is black, which might match your wardrobe better. Unfortunately it's 50% more than the standard model, so will cause further damage to your savings.

                            Wow that's nice. But there's no way I would pay $7000 for a watch. And I kind of had my heart set on the one pictured. But I would definitely be interested in seeing the one you're talking about next week. Maybe this means that the one I want will get even cheaper?

                            I requested this to be moved to the other intimidating watch thread.

                                  ^ i already struggle to find reasoning to pay 2k for that GPS watch. i know they're brilliant watches and one of, if not, the most accurate watches around..

                                          Looking forward to seeing what you're getting @Giles. I'm guessing it originates from Le Brassus.

                                          I also hope that you're not taking my suggestion of trading the Rolexes in as being sound investment advice! 😉

                                            It may have  ;).  Mine is not new, so will have travelled a bit before getting to me.

                                            I simply won't wear the Rolexes.  I love them both, but they sit in the safe not being worn.  Well, I'm actually not that disciplined, they live in this box, which is currently on my desk…..
