[Chiba J.]

Awesome. Never enough Seiko.

[Chris]

That's standard issue for Weyland-Yutani employees, right?

[Graeme]

Only for the humans. Androids Synthetics get this.

After a long wait, pull the trigger on one of this

Thanks guys, I need to dig out my Alien anthology and have a marathon sometime. I'd like to make the set but Bishop's watch is pretty hard to find unless you want to pay a premium for it.

Nice watch Ben, you made a good choice with the BlackBay. Wear it in good health!

Tudor Pelagos (with the new movement) review at aBlogToWatch.

The reviewer took it diving, and overall he seems impressed with it. Well, apart from not being something you'd wear with a suit.

The detailing on the bezel.

And the technical / industrial design of the clasp.

I think that I'd get the Pelagos over the Black Bay. The latter looks better, but I think that this one is a more interesting piece. However, I'd probably choose the North Flag instead, as I don't need a Diver's watch.

These Tudor watches are just getting better all the time. They really are great value for money and the quality is very high.

I saw the North Flag a couple of months ago, and was really impressed. It's a more high-tech version of the Heritage Ranger (which is probably my favourite Tudor), and I am very tempted.

I agree that they're on a serious roll right now.

One line of text too many on the bottom of that updated Pelagos dial.  Don't like the unnecessary 'Geneve' much, either.

Sweet Seiko @Anesthetist 

[Chris]

I'd call it about four lines too many.  All I want is manufacturer name, model name and depth rating. The rest of that crap can go on the back, as far as I'm concerned.  The need to print a book on the dial is a Rolex trait that I've never liked, so I guess it isn't a surprise that it's bled over to Tudor, unwelcome though it is.

[Graeme]

The North Flag somehow avoids having War and Peace written on its dial, despite coming from the same stable as the Pelagos.

I agree with @Chris that less is more. Maybe Chronometer and the depth rating would suffice?

[GingerMagician]

Agreed - if I wrote it again, my last post would start with the words, "At least…"

The North Flag is a very nice piece, and wears well, very tempted to get one next year but also hankering after a Panerai

[DougNg]

Panerai has been getting a lot of my attention lately too. I can't explain why. I have really thin wrists 6.25"

[Chris]

To bad you don't have something nice and shiny to distract you, like a sleek new Omega…
