Watches - another OCD problem

[Tempvs]

One of a kind RGT GMT by Ladoire, one of my craziest watches!

Don't want

@Giles:

Don't want

if G don't want it,  I will take it @Tempvs  ::)

Funny, my dad has that same 50 Fathoms Blanc Pain watch…

I actually prefer the Ladoire to the Fifty Fathoms. A London shop had one in for 75% off at an invitation-only sale. I was very tempted.

That movement looks fantastic.

If you're after a non-traditional watch…

It's the Bulgari Gérald Genta Gefica. There's an old write-up at aBlogToWatch.

Genta was the designer responsible for the IWC Ingenieur, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Nautilus. This was developed under his own watch brand, which was acquired by Bulgari in 1999.

I suspect that @Giles won't like it. I'm not 100% sure about it myself, but it strongly appeals because it's so different, and I've got a bronze case fetish going on right now. Apparently there might still be a few new old stock pieces floating around…

[Giles]

Funnily enough, i quite like that…

[Graeme]

I'd like to see how the Bulgari wears. It's quite a bit watch, but I'm used to wearing a 44 mm piece on a daily basis, so it might not be a problem.

aBlogToWatch has a piece up about Bremont. @GingerMagician might be interested in reading it.

my tried & trusted

looks good with anything I put on.  Come back guys, where you all going.

Okay, okay @Tempvs what you got for me  ::) 

[Graeme]

@madmonday my father is always telling me how expensive mechanical watches won't keep time as well as a cheap Timex. So @Tempvs is doing you a favour by not sharing any of his collection.

[Tempvs]

This is the best time keeper.

That's cheating. It taps into the atomic clocks used by the GPS system!

You did not say No Cheating!

Or this. It gets no more accurate than this!

I thought that the Spring Drives were a bit worse than quartz movements, something like a couple of seconds a week, rather than per month.

I appreciate the Grand Seiko quartz watches for their insane accuracy. I'm a little tempted by this one.

I guess you know that because you use your other one to check the accuracy of that one….

That's what @Tempvs uses @madmonday's Timex for.

Thanks for the heads-up, @Graeme - will take a look.

I'm not a hugely invested in the Bremont brand per se (though they do make very good watches that are decent value if picked up second hand), it's just that the two I own were the incumbents when I got tired of the constant flipping!
