Watches - another OCD problem

IWC Venturer Vertical Drive

@endo IWC mustve been on crack when they came up with that price

"Its innovative rotating bezel system replaces the crown, allowing all adjustments to be made while wearing a space suit with gloves."

Exactly what I had been missing in a watch

Haven't you booked a ticket for Elon's carriage yet?

Call me boring, but I'd rather sail SAKURA to Sardina/Tunis......Oh wait.....

I saw an IWC Venturer in Melbourne a couple of months ago, and I quite liked it. It's very different, but that's the appeal. Besides, how many people (other than @Giles) actually wear their diver's or pilot's watch for what they're intended.

If you want something a bit more traditional, Blancpain has just released a new Bathyscaphe. Details at Monochrome.

I really wish Blancpain would do another issue/reissue of the no rad or the version with the moisture indicator and no date. If they did that I would buy one in a heartbeat.

@goosehd Blancpain used to do a couple of limited editions each year, and these tended to have a retro or reissue theme. The No Rad or Milspec (moisture indicator) models were examples of these.

They haven't produced one for a while, the Bathyscaphe I mentioned above is the first in a long time. Maybe you'll be in luck in the near future.

The New member to the family just arrived today.

The budged for fancy toys is spend for the next 2 years, I guess.

Well done!
