Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

Glashütte Original have announced the panorama date version of the SeaQ with an oh-so-fashionable green dial.

New to me Pam 111. Love it.

The SeaQ Panorama Date is beautiful, and GO's attention to detail is excellent (see the green colored date wheel here). This said, the new green 300M is more attractive to me, at less than 1/2 the price.

Epic af @jtbel1988! I love that one. Such a classic Panerai and I hear it wears well on the wrist.

Received my new field watch .
So far it’s working well …in the fields .

Seiko versus Patek from Horomariobro's Instagram. But I suspect that I'm preaching to the choir here.

Wow….

Omega allegedly unveiled all their new watches last week, only to slip out an announcement for the Omega CK 859 Re-Edition. It's got a 39 mm steel case, silver dial, a hand wound Master Chronometer movement, and is gorgeous.

Monochrome has the details, no-one else seems to have picked up on it yet.

Beautiful watch

I adore the old style of both the logo and word mark, @Graeme. I actually happen to like the green Seamaster Diver 300m. And even the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch (especially Mission to Mars). I'm anxiously awaiting the drops from Watches & Wonders which, if recent releases are any indication, will be nutso.

[Graeme]

@henry_david I'm not sure that mere mortals are going to be able to buy any of the hot releases at Watches and Wonders next week…

Omega have released a good batch of models, even if they're accused (unfairly) of copying Rolex.

Then again, what are Rolex likely to unveil? The Milgauss is due for a replacement and a few new dial colours for the Datejust and Oyster Perpetual. The most interesting thing would be a production version of Ben Ainslie's titanium Yacht-Master.

Oh I wasn't intimating that any would be available for purchase next week. I, too, am interested in what's ahead for Rolex even if the rest of the watch-loving Internet is as well. I'm kinda interested in seeing any new dial variants for the DJ (as boring as that may be) and also wouldn't mind a titanium YM to be brought into production.

What is this Omega Swatch madness going on? I'm hearing crazy stories of this limited edition Omega x Swatch watches selling for as high as 3K $. Insane!

[henry_david]

And it's not an LE or anything, @the246guy. It'll be available online in a matter of weeks and is a regular production watch. I'll def be buying one once the hype's died down a bit.

[JDelage]

The Omega x Swatch are being offered at crazy prices. I'm not sure they're being sold at crazy prices.

[henry_david]

The Chrono24 effect lol @JDelage

[JDelage]

Yeah, strange games are being played on Chrono24. Just was exposed to that myself in the last few weeks as I was selling a hyped-up watch.

Interesting article on the current batch of Panerai movements…

THE NEW PANERAI P.9010 – PERPETUAL DOWNGRADING

[henry_david]

Great read, @JDelage. Panerai is … so disappointing.

[JDelage]

When an article has to show off a Rolex to demonstrate by contrast how poorly finished a movement is, it says a lot…
