Wearing these after a long time with my Omega AT. Feels fantastic.

@Giles not to highjack the thread but me too
Now back to watches, my Dad sold a gold ring that was his granddad’s and bought my brothers and I Tag Heuers. Completely and I mean COMPLETELY unexpected from him.
I’m pretty excited about it, especially since he bought one for himself as well.

@the246guy - Nice. I have the Oris 65 with bronze bezel (2018) that I keep on a marine nationale strap, which is flexible and incredibly comfortable. Thin case, great size at 40mm, legible. Great watch. My daily driver is the Seamaster 300 with faux lume.

@MTpockets Bronze bezel's produce one of the best patinas. I regret not getting the bronze bezel version.

On a last min trip I managed to make it to an AP boutique. After a wonderful visit I walked out with an Offshore chronograph. I got the gray dial titanium 42mm and it’s the one that I’ve been wanting the most. I did a ton of research and was between this and the khaki (green) dial. It was a total surprise that they had it available and didn’t play any games at all. The fit and finish is amazing
the only issue is that I’m sorta in between sizes on the bracelet, So I will wear on rubber for a while till I decide if I can do a 1.5 link to be perfect.Last watch for a while I promise

Something a bit out there but I really love it. Louis Erard's regulateur in collaboration with Alain Silberstein. Love the child-like aesthetics, and pairs rather nicely with the Lefty OD
Cheers,

@kkibbey23 there is a reason I never stop at an AP, PP, VC, etc because I’m afraid my resolve would snap and I would make a pricey mistake
@tvaillant75 I absolutely LOVE anything Silverstein and will one day own one of his dials. Luckily there is no shortage of amazing collabs to choose from. There is so much Kandinski, Calder, Miro, etc etc. Anyone into modern art should pay attention to them, it’s a lot cheaper than buying any of the above!

On the subject of great divers, I picked this up for my old man on his 60th birthday. He quickly told me it knocks my submariner clean out the room
SBGH255? Amazing watch but b.i.g.!

They've done a lot of cool collabs. I like the ones w/ Konstantin Chaykin.

@JDelage it’s the SBGH257. He’s got fairly big hands and wrists (30 years working on oil rigs) so wears it well. It doesn’t wear as big as you’d think though, actually fairly similar to the MM300 but wayyyyy lighter

@Anesthetist
I can totally understand that! I was originally supposed to grab a ghost Daytona on oysterflex in a few weeks but went in and was like no way they would have anything but it can’t hurt to lookNeedless to say the ghost budget is gone

I am not a fan of the Rolex hype. I am a fan of green, and I am yet to find a watch that is as comfortable as a Submariner. Pélagos got close.
I love the invisible micro adjustment on the VC Overseas now. That’s on my list next. That or basically any Grand Seiko.

Grand Seiko released a new iteration of its 37mm hand wound model. What makes it particularly exciting is (1) the bead of rice bracelet, which is amazing, and (2) a soft silver face, which is probably the most ever pleasing dial treatment one can want. I bought the bracelet separately and put it on a different iteration of the same watch and I love it.
