There are well documented chapter ring alignment issues with this model that may niggle you if you get one that's not bang on @Giles (it would bother me). Worth buying in person if you can - you can see the one @Anesthetist has posted the pic of is quite a way off at 12 o'clock.
Having said that, at $250 (plenty less than I paid), it's a great watch either way. Looks great on the bracelet, a NATO or an Isofrane-style rubber strap (which is what mine's on).

Confessions of a Watch Geek is an article at the New Yorker magazine about how a writer got sucked in.
It's worth a read.

A good read that @Graeme
I'm sure most of those that frequent these parts, whether interested in watches or not, will recognise a lot of the symptoms displayed by the author…

I dropped into a watch shop on the way home today.
Cartier Diver's Watch with the blue dial. This looked really nice.
Vintage styled IWC chronograph. I don't know what the model is, but it had a really nice quilted strap.
36mm IWC Pilot, which I'm posting for @Anesthetist.
The Tag Heuer Connected Modular was only announced a few days ago, and it's already on sale. Only the basic watches were in stock, the bundles aren't out yet.
-
Speaking of smart watches, Montblanc have just announced the Summit. It's similar to the Tag Heuer Connected, though without an obvious upgrade path.
The Connected uses an Intel chip, but the Summit has a Qualcomm part. It's also got a heart rate sensor on the back, which is missing from the Tag.
More details at Hodinkee and aBlogToWatch.

One of my favorite grab and go watches, the Citizen Attessa
It has a lot of great features (chrono, perpetual calendar, alarm), is a JDM, weighs almost nothing, and has Citizen's Duratect coating so it will look great for a long time.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tudor Black Bay Chronograph, just unveiled at Baselworld. According to the post on Hodinkee's Instagram feed, it'll be $5000, with an in-house Chronometer grade movement.
So who's going to be the first to get one?
-
It's pretty, but I'd like it a lot better without the tach scale.
-
It's probably not for me, as I'm more of a simple, three-handed watch sort of guy. (Though I have an unrequited love for Urwerk.) But I figured that there are enough Tudor addicts round here who'd appreciate it.
I'd liked to have seen the movement used in their Heritage Chrono, Fastrider, or Grantour collections, but I suspect that these will all be coming in the next year or two. Tudor seem to be slowly going in-house.
I'm looking forward to seeing what else they release at their press conference.

I like seeing well loved watches. That looks great @den1mhead [emoji106]
As for the Tudor, I'm also not a fan of the tach bezel, the whole package just looks off to me. A $5K in house chronograph is pretty exciting though.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
