    @Anesthetist I agree, the spacemaster flight with the bright colours on the dial is quite quirky, a second or third choice watch but not a watch for all seasons.

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

        Haven’t worn this one in a while, forgot how damn beastly it is… and It could use a good cleaning.

            @northsouthdenimguy I was torn between your model and the sea dweller 4000 when they first came out. Went to the store fully expecting to walk out with the deep sea as I love the face more. As soon as I tried it on though, I knew it wasn't going to work for me due to the size.

            I still love them and wish I could have pulled it off.

              It’s a beast, but after five minutes on my wrist I don’t notice.

              My favorite of the sea dwellers is the SD 43, It’s my daily. I have a 2004 SD 16600 but it feels so tiny after the other two it also takes me a minute to feel comfortable.

              I can’t imagine what the all gold deep sea dweller feels like that thing has to be ridiculous?

                Not for me, but I am surprised how much I like it.....

                  @Giles Hermes is crushing horology at least from a design perspective. I love that and also this:

                      @bluemantra love the numbering on that dial.

                        This one is the DW-5000R, basically a recreation of the original Gshock from 1983.

                          I recently met someone wearing a vintage Omega Polaris. It's a bit small by today's standards but it's very nice for a bi-metal watch. They should update & re-release it IMHO.

                              @Anesthetist it's amazing my friend congratulations 👏👏👏, I have been a "collector" of g-shock for years. I love them and in particular I love this historic model 🤩🤩

                                  @Giles Undoubtedly a beauty but a dress watch, curious as to how you harmonize that with IH's aesthetic. Is it a 24/7 piece or special occasion only? Or...?

                                    The Grand Seiko?

                                    As I have said elsewhere I think that GS is the horological equivalent of Iron Heart. Extremely well made, innovative but with a strong nod to classic design, and worn by people who don't give a shit about the fact that most people wont know what an earth they are wearing. And it's Japanese to boot.

                                    I wear it when I feel like it, which is, if I know I wont be doing anything that risks getting it dunked in water - so that rules out fishing, boating and most (moist) holidays. It is also very difficult to read in low light levels, so that rules out quite a lot too. Other than that, I wear it when I can and have never thought about whether it "goes" or not with IH. But now I have been given occasion to think about it, to me it does, both emotionally and intellectually, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks.

                                      So on the don't wear it on hoildays theme. I'm in Costa Rica where I will dive, fish, bird watch in the rain (because it has rained non stop since we got here) and I have no desire for a good watch to be stolen, so this is my daily here.

                                      It's very beaten up because it is a tool.....Need to fix this when I get home....
