    @Graeme Even more odd. I thought you meant that the original watch had a rotating bezel and this reissue does not. I did not realize there is a contemporary version with a rotating AND non-rotating bezel. Very odd.

      @Danimal506 the carbon model is significantly more expensive than the (contemporary) steel model too. That's why I don't think the fixed bezel was done for cost savings, and hence it's more likely to be for technical reasons.

      I do like both versions, and I don't think that the fixed bezel would dissuade me from the carbon.

        The new member in the family, or another completly unnessesary purchase, as my wife would say. 🤪

        Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 2200.50 from 2010. I just love the old Planet Oceans so mich more then the new ones.

            @Cole Sweet watch, Cole.

            You should tell your wife that it is necessary as now you can dive to 600m and not lose track of time and be on time for date night.

            What's the screw on the top left? I have not seen that before.

                @Graeme I also like the carbon version, very handsome watch.

                I would also, like you, assume it is for technical reasons they have not implemented a rotating bezel.

                Bit of a shame really considering that Tudor have managed to manufacture a carbon case with a rotating bezel on the FXD Alinghi models.

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

                  @Giles speaking of that, I keep seeing trailers for a movie

                  with Woody Harrelson that appears to be about an ill-fated saturation dive. I am intrigued. Guessing there will be dive watch cameos.

                  Think it, be it.

                      @Giles Aha! Thanks Giles.

                      Looks like a feature that Q could modify for James Bond to shoot a poison dart or pour a (weak) martini.

                            Decided yesterday to pull the trigger on a long time want. Probably close to 20 years in the making. Picked it up today. Absolutely love it. IWC big pilot 😎

                            @Giles do you still have that platinum one you were holding on to for a friend or something? I can’t remember the details totally

                                  @Anesthetist Amazing Chrono! I was just looking on the website, it has an open case back right? I really like that too. IWC makes some really sweet stuff. Congrats to you too! Did you just get it also?

                                  @Giles I’d love to see some pictures of it 😊 Thanks

                                      @kkibbey23 thank you, I just nabbed it Weds. It is the newer version w the in house movement w the sapphire back. I almost ended up w an Airking but have wanted this too long to pass on it. I still do want a big pilot albeit the 43mm.

                                      @Giles great watch

                                        Watches and Wonders is coming in a few weeks, and new watches are being released in the run-up. Blancpain has just announced the Fifty Fathoms Tech - Ocean Commitment IV, which is a 45 mm titanium piece. Jason Heaton drew the short straw and got sent to the Philippines to test it.

                                        The watch looks quite nice, but I'd probably get a Bathyscaphe in titanium in preference.

                                          @Giles I didn't realize that Panerai was a very limited edition with only 75 produced. Just looked it up trying to figure out what model it was...thanks for sharing 🙂
