Watches - another OCD problem

@Anesthetist:

Beautiful, but Omega pricing is getting less palatable every year.

This. Absolutely this.

the ap is definitely one of my favs. although without the diamonds and not in gold..

I think that the value of an Omega watch depends on the model.

The Railmaster is £5,000, whereas the Rolex Air-King is £4500. The Omega is a limited edition and comes with a couple of straps, so there might be some justification for spending a bit more.

But the Ploprof is £9000. I'm not sure what a Submariner costs, but it's probably a fair bit less. That's harder to swallow, even though it's the most awesome dive watch ever.

Call me a nerd (which I am), but I think I need this watch in my life in the near future.

Snacke Plissken Lifeclock One

Nerd [emoji851]. Cool watch, though, for sure.

here's some stuff for you guys to drool over…

Not as exclusive like above, but I like my antike Omega pocket watch a lot!

I have a new respect for G-Shock after wearing it for a few weeks now. I don't have to take off the watch no matter what kind of stupid shit I'm doing, and I've been setting the audible alarms two minutes before meetings to remind me to quit screwing around (or to let employees know I gotta go, I have a meeting).

On top of that, it's light, supremely accurate with the atomic sync, and won't need a service in the next decade due to the solar charging.

Definitely worth the additional functionality for me at the expense of the romance associated with a mechanical watch.

I won't sell my mechanical watches, but deep down, I'm a function over form kind of guy.

C'mon, you know you want to give me that Seamaster Professional…

You want to incite Jody's wrath? It was a gift from her…;)

Seiko recently opened a boutique in Melbourne, and I stumbled across it today. I was rather taken by this quartz model, with a gorgeous blue-green dial.

They'd actually got a Credor Eichi II in a few weeks back for a customer. It'd already gone out, unfortunately.

Speaking of Grand Seikos, I should have my grubby hands on a new SBGA229 diver by this weekend!  Can't wait, glad I finally pulled the trigger.  I'll post some pics as soon as I have it in hand.

My daily watch .. Breitling Superocean II …

[Matty123]

This is my everyday watch. ICERC GShock. Something about “love the sea and the earth.” And  saving the whales. I’m all for that

[Clint_D]

It's arrived and I'm loving it so far!  I've heard of some reviewers complain about the weight but it doesn't bother me a bit.  So far, so good…

[Giles]

Very nice….

[Graeme]

Nice watch @Clint_D.

On the Grand Seiko front, I like this limited edition with the green dial.

[UnTucked]

One of the things I regret not doing while in Japan is "Buying a nice Seiko", because they are just so much more cheap there…

[bryaneidins70]

Not normally a Breitling fan but that superocean…...........
