      @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

      Never heard of them. Ill check it out.

      I ended up grabbing a strap from DaLuca and that Seiko. LOVE IT.

        I had the pleasure of stopping by my local Omega store the other day and trying on a classic Speedie.  I was initially concerned that the 42mm size would look too big on me but, despite looking larger when lined up beside my sub, these actually wear smaller than you would think.

              While of course technically impressive, the dial is just way too busy for my liking.

                  Looks like it belongs on my wrist,…............however priced at $141,500 USD this one is firmly planted in the 'unobtainable' category.

                  I do agree with @tigerpac, the dial is a little busy for my taste and I would prefer the regular Datograph Up Down.

                  The watch movement is stunning, always loved the aesthetics and finish on Lange movements.

                  There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                    You could sell your bike to me at a mates rate, that'll get the ball rolling. 😉 Could take some Veilance off your hands too while we're at it. You'd have the watch in no time.

                      First up is the Phillips Watches Auction 2. It contains too many really, really nice pieces. Patek and Rolex are overrepresented as usual.

                      http://issuu.com/phillipsauction/docs/ch080515_catalog/391?e=0/30600309

                      And then there's the Only Watch catalogue as well.

                      http://www.onlywatch.com/Public/Files/watch_gallery/OnlyWatch_2015-auctioncatalogue.pdf

                      If anyone fancies the Tudor Heritage Black Bay, the estimate is CHF 3,500 to 4,500. Surely someone around here can afford that. 😉

                          I would love to buy the Black Bay but 3-5000 Swiss francs is never going to happen.
                          It's going to make between 15000-25000 I think. Maybe more.

                            I think you have a point.

                              I think that the Tudor will go a for a lot more than the estimate too. So will the Patek.

                              If you look at the Only Watch results for 2011 and 2013 then there were a lot of pieces going at the bottom end of their estimates, or even some way below. The Patek will make up for any shortfall.

                              My guess is that there will be a few bargains on the night. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bell & Ross, Hermes, and Louis Vuitton pieces go for less.

                                    Nothing wrong with MB&F clocks. They're an entirely rational purchase.

                                    I am also not at all jealous of @Tempvs's growing collection. Honest. However, if they spider is displaced by the robot then I'm still willing to give it a good home. 😉

                                          Following a period of internet speculation it looks like Tudor have finally announced that a production black version of the popular 'Black Bay' will be available from tomorrow ( October 15th ).

                                          The model looks similar to the unique piece created for the 'only watch' auction.  It can be had on a nato strap, leather strap or bracelet.

                                          Looking forward to checking this version out when it lands at the dealers.

                                          https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-tudor-heritage-black-bay-black

                                          The release of this production version of the 'Black Bay Black' has probably taken some of the value off the only watch auction piece.

                                          Imagine paying through the nose for the 'only watch' to then find a production version released.

                                          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                            The new Black Bay will reduce the value for sure of the Only Watch but I'm sure it will still make around 20k
