Watches - another OCD problem

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?

Sometime in the next few months, but if I went Grand Seiko I'd get their original dress watch reissue (in titanium) that was announced yesterday. It's on the right with the blue dial.
I'm waiting to see what comes out this year, though I'm not sure what's happening with announcements now that Basel and Watches and Wonders have been canned.
-
That one caught me eye too, @Graeme . the new diver is too big and I don't dig the case, but it is cool to see a thinner Spring Drive and makes me excited for future, thinner Seiko/GS.

Actually @mclaincausey the dress watch I'd like at the moment is the Montblanc Heritage Small Second Limited Edition 38. The number refers to the size of the production run, so the chances of getting one are slim. Plus they're $20K, which doesn't exactly help.
@ddtrash the Erika's Original strap looks good. I hope that you figure out the hook.

Well, that is an excellent choice. If you decide against the Mont Blanc, that is…

Love the MB too. Not a fan of their logo though.
