Watches - another OCD problem

[Manticore]

The new ALS 175th anniversary watches. A bit out of my price range but the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold is my favorite - a truly beautiful piece.

Even the 2 hander looks amazing…

Agreed!

I also find it a bit odd that a German brand calls the split-second a rattrapante rather than a doppelchronograph.

Omega Aqua Terra 8900 41mm

[Appfaff]

Seeing My Sinn 104 STa has been predominantly on my wrist for nearly 3 years now, I figured I’d give some updates on how the case, and even the leather band, have aged
And held up (the answer in insanely well).

The leather (especially where it flexes) has aged and softened a ton, and the case has stood up to nearly daily use very well. A little pitting (but not much) and still has a decent shine (not really any patina) even though I don’t think I’ve used a polishing cloth in nearly a year.

Overall, the 41mm size is spot in for me - I wish the band was able to be a “little” more snug (yes I know I can punch a new hole if I want to) but I enjoy wearing this tremendously. If anyone has considered testing the market with one, I highly recommend it!

I used to flip watches a ton and have owned a 656, 556, 756, 6068, EZM 2, a U2, and my current Japanese Limited Edition Military Type iii. Never had an issue with any of them and wish like hell I had kept my 656. Sinn makes bomb proof watches, even the 6068 was a tough little bugger.

As well as getting married yesterday, it was also my 30th so the family all clubbed together to upgrade my wrist wear

[dinobarnesberlin]

Yesterday was HUGE for you! Nice new watch–--getting married on your 30th is a baller move

Congrats and great looking watch!

In my safe, I have a number of watches, some of which are not mine, but I have access to them whenever I "need" them.  Yesterday was that day, the bracelet on @Alex 's new watch needed some links taken out, and we were not about to learn how to remove drift pins.  So we "borrowed" this Platinum Big Pilot for him to wear when he got married….. @bigpilot

[louisbosco]

that is beautiful, even better in platinum. 

i believe it is also one of john mayer's favourite watch and the one that started his watch collection.

That is gorgeous "Big pilot" 

[Giles]

It really is…...I may have to own it at some point......

[kkibbey23]

The big pilot has always been a grail of mine.  It will happen someday, just probably not in platinum 

That’s such a great watch! for the size it wears so well

I think you need it G!

[Manticore]

Love the Big Pilot, got one when they first launched and was my first IWC. The platinum variant is magnificent, quite the wrist workout also.

Congratulations on the nuptials @Alex !

The platinum Big Pilot looks great.

I'm tempted by the bronze "Mission Accomplished" model, which should be hitting the stores around now. I'm not tempted by the price!

[JDelage]

I love the IWC small bronze pilots. They don't give them away though…

WatchBuys sadly stopped carrying Nomos and they let their straps go for a song. I put a new black cordovan w brown stitches on my 10 year old Tangente and it feels like a new watch [emoji3590]
