    @Filthy I'll bear you in mind. Although given how much I procrastinate about watches, you might pass away first! :o

    @Finn666 glad to hear you've made your mind up. Hopefully the Rolex waiting list gods are kind to you.

        Wow. Blancpains are the price of a new family car. What an investment piece.

          @Finn666:

          so after thinking about it since a little bit over 2 years now and since it was my birthday 2days ago, i went and put my name on the waitinglist for a rolex sea dweller! 😎

          *finally going for one! 😛

          Well done. Look forward to seeing it. I know you were considered in what you picked - enjoy!

              Now, if anyone wants to buy an immaculate 1987/8 GMT Pepsi or 1970 black bezel GMT, PM me….. 🙂

              been away in bali for a week and i see this..
              now did you say a 16750 gmt…..
              hope you enjoy the FF. the 16750 pepsi is tempting..

              @Graeme:

              And make sure that the GMTs aren't sitting on the desk next time I visit. 😃

              might be sitting on my wrists…

                  I spotted a Seamaster 1948 Small Seconds today. They apparently sold out pretty quickly after Baselworld last year, but this was a cancelled order.

                  I'm tempted.

                    An article about the Tornek-Rayville, which was a rebadged and re-engineered Fifty Fathoms.

                      More watch temptation, after I found that the Omega Small Seconds had sold. This time it's a Cartier Santos Noctambule.

                        That watch is lovely, but if find it almost illegible. Had to look twice to see the hands. Oddly enough, this is also my problem with many g-shocks. I don’t get how all up and down the scale there are pieces whose primary function doesn’t work that well.

                        Obviously this is a pet peeve of mine that ti get too worked up about.

                          I wasn't paying much attention to the Noctambule's legibility, but it's not as bad as some skeletonised watches that I've seen. The hands are polished steel, whilst the background is darker.

                          Whilst it is a lovely watch, you could buy an awful lot of G-Shocks for the same price!

                            There are several versions of skeleton Santos. I like the silver ones better.

                                Have you guys seen the new GS Special Edition 4-season series? Lovely dials on those babies….

                                    Time and Tide have an office that is just around the corner from where I live, and last night they had an event to celebrate the launch of the Longines Legend Diver. So I went along.

                                    The case is PVD steel and it comes on a rubber strap. Time and Tide (who're selling it) had it on one of their black NATOs, which was a good pairing. I think that the movement is a tweaked ETA.

                                    It's a good looking watch. For people who read Hodinkee (and @Anesthetist ), there's a 36 mm version, but it's not available in black.

                                    A few people had nice watches with them. Someone had an early 2000s Rolex GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

                                    A Glashutte with a spectacular green dial.

                                    And one guy had a watch roll full of vintage pieces he'd sourced in Cuba.

                                    Including this lovely Jaeger chronograph.

                                        I find it ironic that Glashutte would make an homage to a Timex
