Watches - another OCD problem

[Anesthetist]

I really like the look of the Ballon Bleu, super refined and beautiful. I’d like to own one someday along with the new solar powered Tank….
But that will have to wait because yesterday I finally got a grail of mine from way back. Cheers to my long gone friend Ed for turning me on to space exploration and this amazing watch. His was the second gen X33 (which the USA still uses), but somewhere I’m sure he’s super happy that I picked this one up.

Tudor have brought back the annoying voiceover guy to announce their new watch, the Black Bay Ceramic.

Note that it says "Master Chronometer" on its dial. It's been through the METAS certification process, just like Omega puts its watches through.

@Anesthetist
Your new Omega is a beaut.
Very well done, Sir

@Anesthetist I do like your X-33.  I think I prefer the black dial aesthetic over the original model.

Here is my cosmetically challenged X-33 work watch.  Strap is from Erika Originals.

Epic watch there, @Anesthetist  Congrats on pulling the trigger

Which G-Shock is that @Giles? Looks like the OG DW5600 styling?

It was a birthday present from H:

Daaammmmnnnn! I thought it looked different. Full metal G-Shocks are sick. How's the heft?

[Giles]

Nice

I like that one quite a lot G. There was a blue anodized metal square that I wanted as a summer watch but I waited bc I wanted the Omega. Casio is making some seriously cool stuff.

@ddtrash I like your loved Gen1 and it looks perfect on that EO strap. I might just have to copy that look for mine!

I love how the light plays with this watch.

@goosehd Agree that dial is amazing how it transitions from emerald green to black depending on the sunlight. You have a classic there. The new Starbucks is not doing it for me, prefer the original Kermit to this current model.

What size is the Sky-Dweller?  It looks huge, but I'm sure that's just the photos.

[goosehd]

@ddtrash Thank you!  I love your collection.

@Chris the SkyD comes in at 42mm.  I find it very comfortable.  I agree the pictures do make it look a bit large,  it wears better than the pictures suggest.  The picture of the SkyD with the OP31 does not help as the contrast in size is high.  I should try and get some more proportioned photos of it,…........that or hit the gym

42mm is a great size. I'm sure that it looks much more proportional in real life- no Popeye workouts required.  I really like the way the GMT function works on that one, too.
