      Has the brand Isotope been mentioned? I keep looking at their watches and I love their style.

      Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

        @joephoto I’d never heard of them until you posted. Some fun designs and a decent price point.

          @IrishHeart glad to help and was just giving you a few more options. Not that you need them. 😁

          I think that Omega is probably ahead on movements, but Rolex makes better cases and bracelets.

            @Graeme thanks; approaching the platonic ideal of a minimalist dual time watch.

            Think it, be it.

              The Chopard are not traveller's GMT, they are "caller's GMT". It's a completely different functionality.

              The best GMT implementation is that of Ulysses Nardin. They have produced a number of versions over the years, but it's a true traveller's GMT, where the home time appears in a window (on a 24hr scale), and the local time can be increased or decreased in 1hr increments with 2 pushers, and a date slaved to the local time, as it should. Here is my favorite (which also has an innovative crown function selector and an enamel dial):

                @Graeme said in Watches - another OCD problem:

                @Giles I like the Aquanauts too, but unless you've got blackmail photos of the AD or are in Thierry Stern's good books, you're unlikely to get one. I'd probably get the Chronograph instead, though.

                @Giles do you want me to to have a word with Thierry, he fixed me up with a 5712 Nautilus last time he and I met up.

                I am sure he could rustle up and Aquanaut travel time for you. 🙂

                There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                        Picked up a Black Bay 58 in blue recently and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The color really changes depending on lighting conditions. Love wearing it with the ihsh-265!IMG_4651.jpeg IMG_4645.jpeg IMG_4638.jpeg

                          Gorgeous. That’s my favorite aside from the 54

                                  Of course.

                                  Why not? It's a diver.

                                    One of my rotation watches. Love this one.

                                    Heavy denim is the best denim.

                                      @jeffrx the 58 is a nice watch and it was a close call for me between that and the 54.

                                        @IrishHeart, I got the 58 before the 54 came out, otherwise it would have been a close call. Can’t go wrong either way I’d say.

                                        Heavy denim is the best denim.
