            @Mizmazzle congrats! Amazing gift.

            I was able to swing by an ad briefly and try on a couple options.
            The Rolex’s are cpo and overpriced but at least I got to see them in person. The Tudor is new. I like them all a lot. Still thinking… no rush I think I’d also like to try on a speedy.

                That certainly looks XL 🙂

                  Looks like every Reddit post asking if a watch is too big. Jokes aside, killer Santos!

                    I dropped into the Omega boutique in Melbourne yesterday and they already had the new Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 in. And, yes, its name is entirely too long.

                    Dark Side Front

                    The back of the movement is pretty good.

                    Dark Side Back

                    I liked the previous generation of this watch, but version 2.0 has an upgraded movement and the details on the Moon are finer. It's also got a Saturn V as a seconds hand on the subdial, I've stolen a photo of it from Monochrome.

                    Dark Side Rocket

                    It's less noticeable on the wrist than in the product shots. From a distance it looks like a slightly elongated (and misshapen) traditional hand, you have to get very close to see the details.

                    The trouble I have with it is that there's already quite a lot going on with the watch, and it's just that bit too much. I remember a tailor telling me that you can get away with being radical with one aspect of a suit, so if you want a crazy fabric, then you stick with a very traditional cut. I feel as though Omega have pushed it just a bit too far here.

                          Calm down, Omega.

                          Kinda cool tho

                            @Giles Eddie Izzard once observed that there's a fine line between being cool and looking stupid. One match in the mouth is cool, two looks stupid.

                            Omega has definitely gone for two or even three matches in the mouth with this watch. 😆

                            I do like it, but it'd have been better if it was toned down just ever so slightly.

                              10 years ago I would have loved that watch. Right now at 52 I wouldn't be able to see the details without my glasses...

                                Monta Skyquest GMT. A great bang for your buck timepiece. Show with the arm of the Kersey from IH, which is also my go-to for this winter.

                                  That’s a stunning watch you have, @jeffrx. I have a small wrist and I like thinner watches. I used to own a hybrid smartwatch from Fossil, but now I wear a simple (and cheap) digital watch from Decathlon.
