    I’m with you Chris, that chrono is special for sure. Absurdly priced but beautiful nonetheless.

    Hey Graeme, those fineliner refills are awesome!

      So I know bronze is popular, but how about a lot of bronze?

      If so, those nutters at Oris are there for you.

      I'm gonna be interested to see photos of this one in the wild…

          Especially if they get you invited to Zoom conferences with Davide Cerrato! 😉

          I've not had a chance to try them out properly yet, but they sound good.

            I love bronze but that's a bit much. I like my 1st edition Carl Brashear better.

              Yep, looks shit now, but give it to me for a year and it'll be a very different thing…..In the summer and Autumn my watch arm is in saltwater almost every day....

              But it aint happening.  The PP is getting agonizingly close.......Just got to work out how to get it here from Switzerland......

                G-Shock MTG. I work on stainless steel tables in the kitchen so my GX-56 gets more wear to keep from scratching the band, but i love this watch.

                It's great that it's solar, but the best part is the resin inserts on the inside of the band to keep from getting sweaty or sticky on your wrist. It's so comfortable on the wrist.

                  I’m jealous. I was looking at that watch but when I tried it on it looked like I zip tied an instrument cluster to my 6.75” wrist. My wrists are just too small for it.

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

                      those MTG g-shocks have been tempting. especially with the other model with the titanium or something @Graeme posted not too long ago..

                          The new Bell & Ross is very nice. Dare I say Gerald Genta-ish? Not too big either…

                            I like the Skeleton Blue version of that watch.

                              I saw one (pretty sure it was that model) in St Thomas last winter and it is impressive. I’m not too sure how popular it is, the dealer was giving good discounts on B&R. [emoji2369]

                                    Very 70s retro futuristic look to it.  The always on LED display is interesting, too.  I can see how it would appeal to some, but it's not my preference.

                                      I also like automatic watches more than quarz ones. But always on display is very interesting to me. But the price of about €600 is also "interesting" for a quarz watch.

                                        The Pulsar's display isn't always on. The reissue has a reflective LCD with an OLED light to illuminate it when needed.

                                        As for the price point, there are some pricey quartz watches out there. Some of the metal G-Shocks cost about the same (or more), particularly the titanium models or the MR-G range. Omega, Citizen, and Seiko (particularly Grand Seiko) have even more expensive options.

                                          Does not make me like it any more…..
