Watches - another OCD problem

@Jord Absolutely gorgeous.

@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.

@goosehd

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?

[Giles]

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

@northsouthdenimguy Pre-cyclops sea dwellers are my fave.. and then on the nato. That's what I'm talkin' about

@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...?

[Giles]

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.

[Giles]

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....

[goosehd]

@Giles I see the guidebook in the back ground…are you looking for the elusive Costa Rican tits or are they plentiful this time of year?

[Giles]

Unfortunately, most of them are American.....

@Giles if you’re bird watching there’s an excellent app called Merlin Bird ID made by Cornell University that you should check out. My favorite feature is you can set it to listen and it will identify all the birds making noises within range of your phone.

Thank you. We have it thanks.....Costa Rica area loaded before we came....Every single birder/guide we have seen here is using it.....

[Go For Chill]

My daily setup. I work them all plenty hard, and take care of them just the same.
