        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.

                    Hey @AdamJ , yes that was one of the other two options I had in mind. But I wanted the NTTD version since I first saw it and neither the black one, nor the 60th Bond anniversary version (which is beautiful) would have scratched that itch.

                    The black one is a real stunner though. Maybe in a few years there is room for more Omegas here (my wive does not read the forum, so I'm safe to say this here 😁 )

                    Some better pics of the NTTD:

                          Nice chronos @gazza61 I’ve always been a sucker for them and would rock them but they are a bit thick for my wrist size.

                              I almost nabbed the Cortina in St Thomas but decided against it

                              Currently, this is my only Omega chrono but I hope to rectify that sometime soon

                                      That watch was a gift from his mother, a 36 mm smp 300.

                                            Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
