      @Crease that Rolex is amazing. Is the inner ring/disc a GMT feature?

        It’s a SkyDweller - believe that is a GMT feature, so second zone is showing 18.15ish based on the red triangle at the top.

        It also has an annual calendar feature - there’s a red marker at the outer edge of the number 3 masked by the date window (cyclops), showing the month - so 29th March.

        I was discussing these with the dealer today - due to the above features it has several hundred parts (twice as many as the Submariner Date I was trying), and thick with it.

        Current waiting times is in years, assuming you can get on a list (dealer estimated up to 7 years for the new Daytonas!).

        Damned nice watch though @Crease

          The SkyDweller is also one of the only watch to use the bezel as a setting mechanism IIRC.

                  I believe IWC has a watch that does something similar.

                      The IWC Timezoner uses its bezel to select which timezone is being displayed. I think thay the Skydweller's is used to select functions.

                      I'm up in Sydney for the weekend, and when I was in the Jaeger LeCoultre boutique, I mentioned that I liked their new Reverso Chronograph.

                      By some weird coincidence, they had a prototype in...

                      The skeletonised chronograph face is as gorgeous as it looks in the photos, but I wasn't allowed to take any pictures because it's a pre-production piece. The case is a bit fatter than other Reversos, but not too chunky.

                      I liked it a lot, though I did tell the dealer they should do it in burgundy.

                        If I recall correctly, @Giles wanted a pink watch. This might do the trick....

                        I thought I wanted the GS Sakura, and that was primarily for the name and not the colour......But I decided to upgrade the anchor on SAKURA instead 🙂

                          Curious how you ‘upgrade anchors’? Heavier; longer chain; stronger/faster motor?

                          Or, better yet, a GAH anchor???

                          The journey is the objective.

                            Heavier and more modern (thus better holding).

                            Anchor design falls into 3 broad generations, 1, 2 and 3.

                            The standard anchor that comes with the boat is a 30kg Bruce which is probably generation 1.5. It'll hold most of the time, but in a big hoolie, I'd not get a lot of sleep. We are taking the boat with that anchor, but in early June when P is away and my brother-in-law comes to play, we'll swap that out for a 45kg Ultra Marine Stainless Steel Anchor. It's fearfully expensive, But when I drop it, I know it will hold, and frankly, I don't need any "will it, will it not?"......

                              Thought I’d share a picture of my Pinion watch just before I sent it off to it’s new owner in Spain. I know this brand is of interest for the Iron Heart connection.

                                        I’ve been silently enjoying this thread for quite a while. I’m not a collector but wanted to ask the experts about Bell & Ross. I’ve had this Type Marine for almost 20 years and it has been great for me. I wanted to get an idea from the watch community as to their current reputation. Thanks
