Watches - another OCD problem

[JR.303.]

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.

Any 1016 lovers here? My go-to when wearing a UHF!

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.

[Oroccoco]

Domed sapphire bezel on those things is droolworthy.

[Giles]

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

[Pyruvate71]

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

[Jcourt]

Looks like you guys were pretty much spot on. It’s a pretty stunning watch in my opinion. If only I had $14k sitting around!

[Giles]

I may be a tad biased, but this IS the best version…..No argument....
