Watches - another OCD problem

[goosehd]

@Giles Congrats in advance and please let us know your thoughts when you get it.

I think it unlikely that it will arrive in The IH Japan offices before I leave for China, so may be a few weeks of (painful) waiting.....

Getting a GS that doesn’t have Spring Drive would bother me on some level. Good choice!

[yannis]

Their high beat movement is very nice also. You cannot go wrong with either Spring drive or the high beat. Accuracy wise Spring drive is in a class of each own.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I like all of the movements and respect them but if I had one GS it would need to be SD just because it’s so damn Seiko and so damn Japanese to optimize the escapement in such a clever way.

There was a watch show today here in Austin. A bunch of micro brands showing their stuff. Some of my favorite brands I saw were Vertex, Baltic, Raven, Lorier, Farer, Fears and Artefkt. I didn’t get a pic of Raven or Artefkt, but they’re both very cool watch designs, especially the Artefkt. I’ll add a stock image of both.

The cool thing about the show, was the owners of the brands were at most of the booths. So I got to meet the people who designed and brought these watches to life! It was a free and very fun and simple event called Intersect.

I like Fears a lot. They have an excellent eye for design.

Rolex explorer with Good Art skull crusher bracelet, I never wear these stacked, just testing it out… under a freewheelers thermal and IHSH 240

@VoodooRay very nice Explorer.

Today rocking my Breitling SuperOcean with IH slubby black shirt and 888 21oz.

[VoodooRay]

@Neru-6 Cheers dude.. love the superocean as well, and it pairs up superbly with the 21oz denim and the slubby shirt there.

[Neru-6]

@VoodooRay Thanks bro ! I think at some point I will also buy an Explorer. This is the perfect "everyday" watch. So classy, I love it.

[VoodooRay]

@Neru-6 highly recommended for an everyday watch or even an only watch, I have a few others that I hardly ever use.

[Neru-6]

Today is Junghans Meister Worldtimer, sample corduroy off-white shirt & 888 21oz.

@Giles just in case, I watched this video and I saw that. Timestamp 6:35. It was one month ago but it can be still there.

Dunno if it can be interesting for you :

[Giles]

Thank you.

@Giles said in Watches - another OCD problem:

Springdrive for the win, but the mechanical is more classic and a better size.
As you are in Japan now you have all the chances to check them out IRL.

[Molle]

@Giles Excellent choice. Well done.

I like spring drives especially when the power reserve is on the back.

Came in the house and noticed my lume was shining bright.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf I love when lume is shining in mid light conditions.

@VoodooRay Is this the 40 mm or 36 mm Explorer 1?

Whichever size it suits you very well.
