Watches - another OCD problem

[ddtrash]

Picked up a nice Pelican case for watch storage.  Standard peli case but with a custom cut interior for storing 6 x watches.  The company who sell these in the UK are called Case Farm and they sell other size cases for storing up to 10 watches in.

Nothing stopping you making your own inserts for a Peli style case, there seems to be quite a few foam options that you can cut to shape yourself.

Mother-in-law’s birthday tonight, wearing my favoritte watch.

quick question: I have the opportunity to buy an Oris ProDiver Titan Chronograph at a great price.
It has everything I'm looking for: its Ti, easy to handle when I have gloves or greasy hands, a chrono and a bezel. The only 'downside' is that its quite big because its 1000m water resistant and therefore an obvious dive watch. Since I don't dive, I worry people might think its a bit overkill to have a big watch like this on when not in the water. What do you guys think? Should I go for it or keep looking for something else?

[JDelage]

I don't think people are going to think very strongly one way or another, but you might get tired of wearing such a brick on your wrist.

I'm used to wearing GShock and Big Pilots so that shouldn't be an issue.

A great deal is never a deal if you don’t love what you’re buying.  If you love it (go for it).  If you only kind of like it, hold off and get what you want.

your right, I love it and shouldn't care what others think

@scarfmace:

This is the right answer.

For the record, I wear a stupidly large watch every day and no one has ever commented on it, so you'll probably also be fine in that regard.

[Giles]

That may be because you are in Texas, so could be carrying a multitude of things that could do damage…..

The weight is probably not as big a factor anyway since it's Ti. I have a Breitling Emergency in Ti which is absolutely massive but wears very comfortably.

As you say @scarfmace , wear what you love. I'd be surprised if more than 5% of people who own dive watches even get them wet on the regular.

I thought I would try a Nato on my GMT, really pleased with the look and comfort.

Very nice.

I picked up a similar Nato from Crown and buckle. Really like the combo of the black/green/red. An awesome combo with the GMT I must say!

@Graeme:

@Giles there's a new Blancpain No Radiation watch…

Anyone know by chance how quick this sold out?  Im gonna try and get their next vintage offering and want to gauge how quickly i gotta troll hodinkee. . .

[Graeme]

I believe that the Blancpain Barakuda reissue sold out pretty quickly too. I'm not sure if it was hours, days, weeks, or even months. I'm not up on the brand.

Given I saw one both a Barakuda and a No Radiation on Chrono24 at nearly twice retail, I'd guess that they're a hot ticket. I'd be tempted to approach your local dealer now, and see if you can make an expression of interest in advance of the model being announced.
