Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

Almost certainly.

Yeah it's Mickey Mouse, but it's also a Japanese made G-Shock with only 3000 made for Tokyo Disneyland. I love Japanese domestic watches!

Morning Gents,

I am new guy to the forum and waiting for the next shipment of 666's so i can join your ranks. I'm laughing about the OCD on here as i read through the posts , did not realise it was so common.Anyways here's a picture of my recently purchased beater and I absolutely love it …completely indestructible Sinn U1 .

I dont know how much custom straps are in the UK but mine cost about GBP100 in plain leather. Here is the link to his website. Checkout the gallery for some watch candy:

Still working on subtlety?

I've mastered that.

Nothing says "subtlety" like spinners.

The Astron is a very large watch.  How do you like it so far?

[Anesthetist]

I like my watches either traditional or really high tech. Being the first solar watch with GPS, it fits the bill nicely. It is flawlessly accurate when it can receive its signal and has plenty of buttons to press The finish is good, probably along the lines of the Brightz line but not as good as my Grand Seiko. It is unfortunately very large but it is so for a reason (antenna) and is easy to wear on the silicone strap. All in all I'm liking it.

[Anesthetist]

Doesn't wear that different from my old Panerai or JSAR. This is a better shot of its size.

Anesthetist, nice timepiece.  The technology involved is remarkable and as you say has its own niche selling points when compared with mechanical offerings.

I am a sucker for mechanical movements but still smile to myself thinking that a quartz watch is going to be more accurate than any mechanical watch.

I have an Omega X-33 as a working watch and it keeps time really well compared with my other mechanical watches.  The Astron must take that accuracy to whole new level.

I like your colour choice as well, the blue dial accents complement the blue denim and shirt nicely.
