          I posted a while ago about my G-Shock frogman watch 'DW-8200-1B '

          Sold a while ago due to my worsening eyesight and not being able to see the digital display,
          just bought 2 new watches.

            Oris have announced the Carl Brashear limited edition. It's a version of their gorgeous Sixtyfive diver, but in a slightly larger bronze case. 😘

              That is the prettiest Oris I've seen in a long time.  Price is reasonable, too.  That said, I think making a dive watch with only 100 meter water resistance is a questionable decision.

                          A friend of a friend was after an IWC Portugieser Automatic last year, and I was keeping an eye on prices. I don't know what happened in the end, but I reckoned he should get the Anniversary edition instead, as it's probably the nicest watch that they make.

                          I saw one whilst out yesterday, so snapped a picture for my friend to pass on. It uses the same movement as the Big Pilot I was eyeing up the other day, though the case is a bit smaller. I really like it, and I think it'd work well in both casual and dressy settings.

                              It's not mine.

                              The case is 43 mm. Not a small watch.

                                These days, it seems like 43mm is mid-range, though I think the size tide is turning.  I usually feel comfortable in the 40-44 range, personally.  I expect a big guy like Graeme could go up to 46 or so and still have it look reasonable, not like a can of tuna strapped to his wrist.

                                  SIHH is going on right now, and the Richemont group, plus one or two others, have been pimping their wares. These are a few things that have caught my eye so far.

                                  Vacheron Constantin Overseas. Available in stainless steel, comes with two straps and a bracelet as standard, and has an in-house movement with the Geneva Seal. It looks like something you could wear everyday.

                                  The Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Boréal seems a similar semi-dress / semi-sports watch. I love the lume pattern on the dial. At CHF 35,000, I'll have to admire it from afar.

                                  Royal Oak Openworked. The slightly gothic looking skeletonised movement really appeals, as does it having a pair of balance wheels.

                                  Panerai Lo Scienziato Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Titanio. The case is built up using a sintering process which uses lasers to weld layers of titanium together. OK, I won't be able to afford it, but it's got a similar look to the Audemars, above, so I like it.

                                  IWC have launched a new Pilot Worldtimer. The bezel has a mechanical linkage, so rotating it sets the timezone. Shame it hasn't got the antimagnetic inner casing, though.

                                  Something that the watch press has missed so far is the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date. That dial…

                                  Lastly, some proper watch porn. This is the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds.

                                    @Chris I can get away with big watches. I used to wear a 44 mm Breitling, though nowadays it's a 35 or 36 mm Tender. I think people get too fixated on diameter, and I'm always amused when I see a posting "If only it came in a 44 mm, 42 mm is too small for me!"

                                    As well as the Big Pilot watch I was admiring, IWC have just launched a new 36 mm piece. It's rather lovely. Perhaps the tide is turning, or they're covering all bases.

                                      ^ i was waiting for you to post it. i thought the new piece was a 41mm a size between the smaller 36 and the bigger big pilot???

                                        @louisbosco you were probably thinking of the IWC Mark XVIII, which is a 40 mm watch. They've got a watch for every wrist size. 🙂

                                        My current "if I was a millionaire" watch has to be the new Urwerk EMC Time Hunter in green. This uses an electronic circuit to gauge the precision of the mechanical movement, which is a completely pointless, but very cool complication.
