Watches - another OCD problem
-
they're all available. just gotta buy a datejust or two first..
-
As for AP, in Tortola & St Thomas we saw quite a few of the more complicated ROs but only one “base” model. The dealers were apparently supposed to limit one to a person but I imagine money talks.

Monochrome are speculating about what Rolex will release at Baselworld. I'm not a huge fan of the Crown, but this Milgauss is awesome.
Of course, there's a question whether Baselworld will happen this year. Watches and Wonders (formally SIHH) has just been cancelled in light of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Weird to render the bezel in "10-minute" units
-
What's the point of the bezel only going to 6?
-
Meh. Doesnt impress me much tbh.

I think that the concept Milgauss is a throwback to this one, which also has the ten minute scale on the bezel.
-
So, the vintage one I like. The proportions on the new model just seem really off.

Yes it is an unimaginative superimposition of modern Rolex sport watch aesthetic onto what apparently was an unpopular watch in its time and collectable in retrospect. Love how they predict an antimagnetic movement, but the display caseback prediction is ludicrous.

The only Milgauss I really like is the 116400GV, with the green crystal and the orange accents. This one is just ok, and as one might guess, the bezel bugs me.

An obtainable Credor…

Personally, I think it’s lovely and although the bracelet finish looks perfect it isnt a good fit for this watch. I would buy this twice over and take a huge loss before buying that Milgauss.

Center the date, change the date font, make the PR indicator intuitive, and move it to the back and I agree fully.
Bracelet would remain an issue but it would look great on leather.

I saw the news that Baselworld has been
cancelledpostponed until January 2021. Given that Watches and Wonders (formerly SIHH) and the Geneva Motor Show have gone the same way, I'm not surprised.Maybe it's all a cover for Rolex to redesign the Milgauss.
The Credor's not bad, but I'd probably spend the money on the Godzilla special edition.

It'll sound strange to some given how I panned the last GS dress watch, but this is just about the perfect dress watch IMO. Spring Drive would make it even cooler.

Speaking of Grand Seiko, they've just announced a new Spring Drive diver with an updated movement.

Picked up a new Erika's Originals MN strap for my X-33.
The hook system is not the easiest to use but I am slowly getting better at using it.

Thinking of an upgrade?
