Watches - another OCD problem

[Chris]

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.

Budget version… [emoji16]

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.

@hectic:

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?

Me too, they were fantastic little watches.

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.

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

[Graeme]

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.

[Chris]

That is, without question, my absolute favorite Rolex.

[JDelage]

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

[Anesthetist]

That Milgauss is a grail piece

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

And just because we actually saw sun yesterday

[dinobarnesberlin]

That " Cash Cuff " is looking good @Anesthetist

@Graeme:

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.

I just saw on another forum that guys are trying to sell these at $6000-$7000 (USD) above the original asking price ($14,000).  I wonder when this madness will stop.
