      I was surprised no one posted about that thing earlier. I love it.

      Think it, be it.

        I like all three of the watches, particularly the Rolex. But I suspect that the only way I could get the Yacht-Master would be to promise my firstborn, and I don't have any kids. My dog probably wouldn't cut it.

        I would probably have a dilemma between the FOIS and white Speedy if I was going that way.

        The FXD GMT was great. There's a bit of a sense of dress up about it, that I'd be pretending to be a rugged Marine Nationale pilot if I wore it.

          @Mizmazzle really enjoyed that video. That was quite the shopping spree!

            @IrishHeart haha. By the way Tom was talking the whole time I was kind of surprised he only bought 4! Sounds like the sort of spree isn’t uncommon for him. Sheesh!!

            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

              @Graeme yeah the dress up think bothers me about wearing a double rider jacket since I don’t ride but with watches for some reason it doesn’t. Probably because desk divers are much more common than actual divers sporting diver watches.

              Think it, be it.

                    For me: that

                    Especially if they’re both Spring Drive

                    The power meter will always look backwards to me.

                      THAT is manual wind.

                      They are effectively the same price in Japan.....

                        That as well and I've looked at it numerous times. Simple and elegant.

                              Omiwatari for the win 🙂

                              Ranking them would be 1) Omiwatari 2) 37 mm 3) 40mm

                                  The latter for me. I like the case size, the feel of a GS manual winder, and the dial is lovely. I still regret not getting the pink dialed version similar to this watch ON SALE in St Maarten. I dont let my wife forget about it either 😂

                                    The thing that kills the first one is the reserve indicator. I can’t see it belonging on a dress watch.

                                      The spring drive, blue hand and dial of the Omiwatari are what make it the winner in my eyes. No date, no power reserve and a hand that is smooth as can be!

                                      “This” has my favorite case shape. But I’m sure the Omiwatari also has beautiful lines and polishing when seen in person.

                                      And the bracelet on the Omiwatari is nice. I’m a bracelet guy though.
