Watches - another OCD problem
-
Finally put my new strap on my Seiko .
-
No sir I haven’t . Got me intrigued .

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.
-
Man, l love that green dialed Glashutte.
-
36mm would interest me indeed!

Those are the Four Seasons special ed GS: https://timelessluxwatches.com/reviews/new-grand-seiko-four-seasons-models/
This is the lovely Winter model:
And the Summer one:
Those are my favorite of the 4, but the other two are not bad either…

Hodinkee have a write up on the Blancpain Barakuda.

There are comments about it being sold out, but I heard the same thing about the Bathyscaphe Seventies, and there's one of those in a local jeweler's.

…but even if you do, if you log the GPS coordinates and scour the area, being at least the equal of a Submariner, it should be fine even after 14 months undersea.
-
wow they look really good. faster than i expected..
-
gonna pick it up today. can't wait!
and yeah @Graeme they've told me they got a pretty big delivery from rolex the other day and because the WL for the SD wasn't too big of a problem, they gave me a call
was super hyped as i've picked up the phone haha…such a good feeling, after 2years only talking and dreaming about it
gonna post some more pics as soon as i get if...if you guys want
-
hahaha. you lucky bugger. expecting more pictures when you get it on!!
-
just picked it up yesterday mate! @louisbosco happy AF
also put my name on the list for a gmt master II batman with the jubilee bracelet from 2019 while at the store…should take around 1-1.5years for it to arrive. -
yeah the GMT master might take awhile.. i'm not convinced it will be 1-1.5 years.. unless of course after this purchase, they're more inclined to "move you up"
