      @Chris:

      That month window makes me irrationally angry.

      I dont disagree with it being unsightly but I think if you could see the day window, it would look at least somewhat balanced:

        Oh yeah, I missed that. You're right- I dislike it a lot less now.

          Worn and Wound have a story that Squale are doing a run of Fifty Fathoms knockoffs homages. They are actually using original Blancpain cases into which they have installed a modern ETA movement.

          They are available from the Amsterdam Watch Company.

                My current ‘collection’.
                Contemplating if I should add a field watch or B-Uhr.

                Also at some point I’ll have to get an auto Panerai as this hand winding movement is the main reason I don’t wear it more often.

                  Anyone else a watch freak here? Def fits the denim fetishist model…

                  I'm a G-Shock whore personally.

                  I love them.

                  My day to day watch used to be a Breitling Chromomat until I met up with DougNG in New York, he was sporting a Riki Watanabe.  I had to have one, so I put it on my birtday list, and hey presto Paula came up with the goodies.  I love it and think that it is a perfect jeans watch:

                  And yes Landocal, that is an IHSH-06

                  I also have a 1954 Patek Philippe manual calatrava and a 1970's Jaeger-LeCoultre manual complication (dunno why, I never wear either, but Hectic, I guess that is exactly your point)

                  Can you tell me the brand name of watch?

                        Trusty and much loved IWC Spitfire Chrono.

                        Had this about eight years now. Seen a lot of wear and abuse.  Love it everytime I look at it. Needs a service though [emoji51]

                          Omega have just announced an updated Speedmaster, which benefits from a Master Chronometer movement.

                          https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/moonwatch-professional/product

                          Looks nice, but there's been a bump in the price.

                            Oris have just launched a third Carl Brashear watch. This time it's got their new in-house movement and and Erika's Originals strap. It looks good. It's a limited edition of 2000, with a pricetag of $4200.

                            More details at Monochrome.

                              I really like the look of it and the 5 day power reserve sounds really good….but 4k for an Oris is pushing it.

                                It is more expensive than a Tudor Black Bay, which arguably had better brand cachet. Although I think that I prefer the Oris.

                                  Got myself a gift recently.  Milgauss, black face with green tinted crystal.

                                      I have the #1 version of the Carl Brashear Oris. It's lovely. I do like the band on that one…

                                        That Milgauss is a grail piece 🙌

                                        A little more humble but no less indestructible, the Muhle Glashutte SAR with the Johnny Cash 💪🏼
