        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

                                  @Heavy_blue Thanks man! It’s been really good. Have to put a battery in it now and then but it has held up well and keeps good time. I like numbers too so that’s covered with this design

                                    The past two weeks have slipped by here so sorry for not responding. Thanks for all the love on the Skydweller, it really is awesome. A little thick but I like it. Been trying to get a GMT-II in blue and black and had mentioned this Skydweller to my AD who surprisingly gave me the call maybe a month or so later. Not really a flashy person, but I just couldn't say no. I like to keep the inner GMT reference set on Japan time 🙂 and yeah the bezel is used to select which functions to change which is really cool. It really has everything I would want, but for some reason I still lust after the GMT-II LOL!

                                    Some damn fine looking watches here that's for sure! Looking really good @Pipeboss713 @Anesthetist @Anodsasgoodasawink @SKT !

                                    For me I think the only watches I don't like are the ones where its hard to actually read the time haha.

                                        Congrats! Tried one on recently, and was pleasantly surprised how well it suited my wrist.
