      @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.

          Heavy denim is the best denim.

            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.

                These aren’t bad. Good to see some sub-40mm options

                  Yes, they're lovely. I love the 62GS case shape.

                    25 years into collecting Seikos and Grand Seikos. Wearing this today, the SLA039. A modern recreation of the famous 1968 6159-7000.

                      @Molle I remember following you on Instagram a few years back, I have long since got rid of all my social media but seem to recall you having one of the most insane Seiko/GS collections, tonnes of divers! Lots of important vintage pieces too? I owned around 30 watches back in those days and am now down to 1 and 2 cheap beaters.. 😳 think I finally found what I was happy to wear every day (after owning 3 different versions of the same watch previously) 😂

                      Anyway, welcome to the forum! How long have you been into Iron Heart?

                        Not totally sure how I feel about this one. Picked up off of Reddit. It’s a MOP dial by Sinn, a good German brand. It’s a little small compared to my usual watches and the MOP dial against my fair skin feels strange. Nice watch though.

                        Heavy denim is the best denim.

                          Thanks for the welcome 🤗. IH is a very new “interest” which I am sure will develop to an obsession… 😂. Got the M65 in November last year and a couple shirts, a jacket and a pair of 777 since then. No store in Stockholm unfortunately.

                          On the watch front it is still Seiko and GS to 95% in my collection. Slowed down the buying of new ones quite a lot. Sold very few so most of the stuff is still there. Primarily the interest is in divers and vintage these days.

                              @Molle Sounds like it’s well on the way to an IH obsession then 😃 some great choices there too, my m65 is one of my favourite pieces. Glad to hear you held onto your watch collection too!

                                There used to be (Sivletto and Second Sunrise), but neither of them could make Iron Heart work for them......

                                        @Giles I think you have a few customers with as much inventory as a retailer…
