Old Heuer 1000 I've had for a few years

That one looks well loved.  We rarely see watches around here with mileage on them.  I like it.

It may not look like it but my GMT Master II has 25 years of mileage on it

If I wasn't already sold on a GMT Master II, that did it!

Sticking to the Rolex love-in, there's a barely dressed up press release an article at aBlogToWatch announcing that Rolex will be regulating and certifying all movements to run at an accuracy of between -2 and +2 seconds per day. This is more stringent than Omega's 0 / +5 seconds accuracy.

So if you're looking for an excuse to buy one..

Since @Anesthetist is into small watches, I think that this 33 mm Patek will appeal. It's a limited edition with a stainless case and porcelain dial.

The advert's on Timezone, whilst Hodinkee has a write-up. It's up for grabs at $11,500 with box but no papers.

It's beautiful and a rarity with the stainless case! I'm 35 now and it's my goal to have one on my wrist by my 40th bday. Thanks for the info, I love reading about hard to find goodies like this!

I wonder if that means Rolex will be raising prices.  Wait, what was I thinking?  Of course they will.

Sill have my small gold 1954 Calatrava in the safe doing nothing….

I'm not usually a huge PP fan but that really is beautiful.

Think my balls will fit in the safe too? I will need to hide them from my wife if I buy it anytime soon!

^If you take the watch out, there'll certainly be room for a pair of balls. Fair trade for a lovely PP too

Your wife would probably love mine….

Sadly, she prefers watches with a more complex design.  Hence my failure to get her interested in anything by Nomos.

[Graeme]

@Qinhan you're missing a trick.

Buy her a Patek, and when she says she doesn't like it, you get to wear it. That way you don't get into trouble for spending too much on a watch.

[Qinhan]

In my family we call that the "Homer bowling ball trick".

Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Watch, due to be released at Baselworld in a couple of weeks. I'm not normally a fan of Diver's watches, but I quite like it, and figure that a few people might appreciate it.
