Watches - another OCD problem

Sploooosh

Best-looking Speedy in a while.

Wow, I really want one. I really cannot afford one.

I won a Tender watch in a sale. Very nice…

[theding]

Keep thinking about that Speedy. Does anyone know of something similar (looks wise) for half the price or less?

Hodinkee have a piece about the Pinion bronze watch.

Must have. Will have. BR 01 B-Rocket themed from the B&R B-Rocket Concept Moto. Hands down my favorite B&R yet.

That thing is so fugly that it's cool.

[rocket]

I don't know either, but there is rocket on it….

[Cole]

My daily companion since 1996. a watch that can be worn with everything and will never be out of style (in my opinion).

[Megatron1505]

Very nice Cole.

My Mako XL with OGL and a nice pretty background.

And it's smaller sidekick, the BR-o3 B-Rocket. I don't consider them ugly in the least. I think you'd have to see them up close to really view the details and simplicity. I also own two Dogue De Bordeauxs or French Mastiffs, which most think are one the ugliest dogs ever produced. In hindsight, perhaps I do have a taste for things with such repugnant appearances to the point they are considered kinda cool. ;-P

I'm cool with that!

This might be a really strange observation, but it drives me crazy when I see the lug screw heads not symmetrical on watches like Bell and Ross and Hublot.

[rocket]

100% with you….

[Anesthetist]

They should use an Allen type screw so it's not as obvious. I hate that shit on a watch that expensive. 15K on a Hublot and that's the level of detail they put into it? No thanks.

[Chris]

That's something I never notice on my own, but as soon as someone else points it out, it drives me nuts.

[Snowy]

^It's the sort of detail I wish I was able to remain ignorant of, but will from now on die a little inside seeing the lack of symmetry. :|

First world problems indeed . Ha ha

Mega great watch

Anesthetist very classy Seiko there

Cheers

Exactly…....
But yeah, idk, I feel like an expensive watch needs to be held to a higher standard.  I purchased the watch below, but when it arrived and I saw that the minute hand didnt lay perfectly parallel w/ the face (if you can see it angles up toward the tip a  little) ..... I was like " ah hell no" .... I had to return it.... But I do prefer the lug system better, I think there called torx head screws.
Im an architect by trade so maybe that has something to do with it, or I have ocd....

[Anesthetist]

Many watches have an upswept minute hand. I owned that exact same watch and if my memory serves me well it had a similar issue.
