Watches - another OCD problem

^not just hodinkee. me too!! this reminds me of henry graves supercomplication..

Vacheron fully reestablishes themselves with that piece.  They had sorta falling behind some of the other storied houses imo after the quartz crisis but man are they back. 57260 looks damn good for having such a potential mess of complications.

I like Vacheron because they're less conservative than their peers, such as Patek. The 1972 is my favourite of their collection. Shame about the price tag…

The new Harmony Chronograph (covered at Hodinkee) is also lovely. But the price tag is even more of an issue!

I tried on the Harmony GMT in Vegas last month and didn't want to take it off!!!

Price still a ton but way more accessible than the chrono.

Mr-Gs a spider and chocolates. Could just turn in to a half decent day.

I just read on a watch forum that a guy sent his Speedy Pro to Omega three times because it wouldn't hold a charge for shit and it would wind and wind and wind.

Members suggested that he may have a broken mainspring.

Turns out he was winding it the wrong way.

I want off this planet NOW

Unbelievable! Next year might be a Mr-G year if I can curtail my IH and MF addictions…

If you tire of that clock then I'm quite happy to give it a home.

I'm a big fan of the spider. I'd love to get one myself.

So is the two toned Datejust. I couldn't pull off a President if I tried but I used to own that same Datejust and it was beautiful.

@mikesantor:

Hey guys, I haven't been following the thread but I was wondering if anyone tried one of those Daluca Cordovan Nato straps? They look pretty nice. Im in the market for a new watch and am not looking to spend a ton. I was thinking,

One of these guys: http://www.longislandwatch.com/Seiko_SNZG07K1_Watch_p/snzg07k1.htm

With this guy: http://www.dalucastraps.com/shell-cordovan-nato-watch-strap-brandy-matte-buckle/

I think the Cream face on that Seiko would look sweet with the brandy color Horween shell strap.

I'm especially fond of the leather straps from Crown and Buckle. Horween leather and made in the USA
