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

      I'm a G-Shock whore personally.

      H

      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 💪🏼

                                  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.

                                      No idea. I'm seeing Rolex Datejusts selling over retail, and that is their bread-and-butter line.

                                      @kye4some that Bond Omega looks good!

                                            Not planned when I bought it but the red in the 269 works pretty well with my Fastrider Chrono.
