        I have ,ahem, several watches.
        The latest is a Steeldive SD1979 Squale.
        Seiko auto movement, sapphire blue tint crystal, screw down crown and back and solid stainless bracelet.
        It is a fantastic watch. Great bang for buck.

          The Rolex madness continues!

          Philips individually auctioned off a collection of five of the new Oyster Perpetual 36mm watches with the bright coloured dials. The yellow, coral, and pink models went for HKD 107,100, or about AUD 18,700 for a piece that retails at AUD 7,850.

          And it isn't anything exotic. The OP is Rolex's basic model.

            Oh yes @Graeme .
            I ask at local jeweller Jasper Watches in Erfordia for the GMT Master.
            They told me a waiting time of about 20 years. For the submariners 5 to 10 years, that one with green bezel also about 20 years.That is crazy. ???
            In former times in the German Democratic Republic you could wait for a car also 15 years or so. But they had lack of economy
            ::)

              One of my favourite jokes from when I spent a lot of time in the former Soviet bloc in the 90's.

              The year is 1976.
              Car salesman - The good news is that you have been granted permission by the Party to buy a Trabant
              Customer - Great news, when will I be able to pick it up?
              Car salesman -  August 21st 1987
              Customer - Morning or afternoon?
              Car salesman - Why?
              Customer - Well the phoneline is being installed in the morning…..

                  As a side note I'm getting enamored with the Hans Moser Streamliner, which I can't really afford. They share a little something with the Laurent Ferrier watch I posted a few weeks ago.

                            Looks like the model of Edmund Hillary 😉

                                  That's beautiful, 1016 is the perfect watch imo, so much nicer than the current Explorer.

                                  Here's one of my favourites, 36mm good for my noodle wrists. Sub-par denim from my pre-IH days!

                                    Hodinkee have announced a limited edition with Blancpain, and they are teasing it with this image.

                                    My guess is that it is likely to be a version of the Fifty Fathoms MilSpec, likely without a date window, as Hodinkee tend to delete these.

                                    It is due to drop on 15th December, and will likely sell out soon after.

                                      Domed sapphire bezel on those things is droolworthy.

                                        I'd delete the date window if it was at 4 o'clock…

                                          I think it will come out with 38mm or 40mm & no date.
