      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.

                            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.

                                      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!

                                            I'd say without a doubt you are correct! I have always loved those!
