The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Matt]

I also got a watch case to better hide my new collection from my wife. I made sure there was room for the other one I got in eBay that’s in its way as well as the one I’m currently bidding on.

Nice! your beloved will lose her shit when she sees that.
And that picture belongs in the intimidating watch thread 

[Matt]

It’s my first gold (colored) watch.  I’m pretty fancy now.

Those steel G-Shocks have my attention.

Question: How does collecting your watches in one place mitigate wife-ageddon? Makes them harder to find, put when they are found you’re pinned like frog on the dissection table.

Here’s that awesome cordovan strap with a cheap watch attatched to it that I mentioned earlier.

Seiko have just launched their King Seiko model (which I think sits somewhere between the regular and Grand Seiko ranges) with a funky purple dial. Note too the lack of a date window.

It'll retail for €1850 (so probably a similar dollar amount), and be available from their boutiques in July. More details at Monochrome.

Wifageddon is coming.  I’m just delaying it.

I’ve been spying that set, super cool @Matt But which to wear for the big IH party?
Since there have been a lot of G’s around lately, I wanted to post this one again.
MTG Antelope Canyon:

Same movement as in my MRG but 30% of the cost. Super lightweight, functional, and LOUD. Of all the watches I own this one earns the most complements.

@Anesthetist that gorgeous, thanks for sharing.

Don’t for a second think I haven’t been lying awake at night thinking about what to bring to Gosport.  G-Shock included.

My trusty Tudor.

I'm honestly not sure which of the two watch threads I'm supposed to be posting in. This is definitely a luxury watch, but not a very expensive one, relatively speaking. I guess that makes it appropriate for this thread as I suppose it is "less intimidating." I don't know. But I effing love this watch. My beloved Tudor Black Bay 58.

[Matt]

It’s lovely.

@Matt:

It’s lovely.

Thanks! It has an impressive list of specs in addition to its good looks which makes it my perfect watch.

[Graeme]

Tudor have just announced a new version of their Ranger. The old one used an ETA movement, but this new one shares its workings with the Black Bay 58. It's been downsized slightly to 39 mm.

Prices start at around 2600 Swiss Francs or Euros, and I'd guess they'll be a similar figure in US Dollars.

More details at Monochrome.

I like that!
