    @Graeme Yikes 22K for a planet ocean is wild!

    I love Omega but it sometimes feels like a headless chicken with the amount they do.

      SEAQ: twice as nice for half the price.

      Think it, be it.

        @mclaincausey My fave neurosurgeon rocks a two-tone on a handmade leather strap and it is killer. Definitely feels like a bargain for what it sells for.

          It’s one of my favorite divers. Just beautiful. And yeah bargain IMO

                So sexy. The lumerals, the big date (surprised its asymmetry doesn’t drive @Giles mad 😂), the restrained use of gold accents. A masterpiece.

                Think it, be it.

                    @Giles I like the date at 4 because you get the right side marker. I also like the lugs being squared off rather than running all the way to the bezel. Is there a more eloquent name for that design? Reminds me of a 62MAS but it has crown guards....and that subtle branding detail on the back of the second hand....🤤
                    this wasn't on my radar, but it is now...

                      It's pretty much the only two-tone watch I like. It's really well done.

                        I don't dislike it because it is parallel with the 9-3 axis, I don't like a date at 4 when it is parallel with the 10-4 axis...

                        I could also be persuaded by one of these....

                              @Giles now I can’t unsee how it’s not on the 10-4 axis and it does bother me. I now prefer the 3 date. I’d rather sacrifice a plain marker for a date than a numeral.

                                I'm a fan of the SeaQ, particularly the panoramic date version. I took a look at them when they first came out and I remember comparing one to a Fifty Fathoms, and the Glashütte Original was better finished.

                                That said, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe in titanium is a lovely thing, though @Giles is allergic to the position of the date window. On the bracelet it's still 60% of the price of the Planet Ocean. It's also a lot slimmer than the SeaQ and rather light. The movement isn't as pretty, though.

                                Bathyscaphe Titanium

                                Whilst I was admiring it, the dealer insisted I look at the very green and very rare chronograph they had in.

                                Bathyscaphe Chronograph

                                I think at the end of the day you can spend a premium on the brand, finishing, design, or technology. Some people get excited about a bit of hand-anglage on the movement. Others turn their noses up at anything that isn't a Rolex or Patek. I like innovations in horology. You pays your money and all that.

                                  Every Blancpain that I'm ever interested in, seems to be super limited and impossible to get...my plans are to get @Giles drunk and slip his off of his wrist.
