      Hahaha luckily for me my wife’s hawk like monitoring of our finances mixed with her uncannily frugal tendencies will probably mean this is the “only” watch I buy for a while…

      And in all honesty, I have a quite a few watches, just nothing high-end like the SINN - I’ll probably rotate like I do my jeans and give them all some love.

        I still need to set the time and date

        C'mon, the first thing you're supposed to do is set the time and date, matched exactly to the coordinated atomic clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, so you can track the accuracy and then brag about how it's running better than COSC standards.

        Do you even know how to watch nerd, bro?

          well, considering that I had to read the damn instructions on how to get the crown to pop out, I am obviously outside of my league hahaha

          but yes, I did set it to the official time standards 😉

            Panerai have just announced the PAM 721, which is a really simply two handed watch. It's unusual for not having their logo on the dial, according to the recycled press release on Hodinkee, it's the second time they've done this.

            As I said a few posts back, I'm not usually a Panerai fan, but again I find myself liking this one.

                  Huh. I didn't even notice that.  It's in the usual spot- 3:00, but you have to check out the other pictures to see it.  Must be an odd angle, even though it looks like it's straight on.

                      There was an event at the local Omega boutique yesterday, and I got invited along. No doubt they were hoping that I'd buy something. 😉

                      One lucky guy got to pick up his #speedytuesday Speedmaster. His son was hoping that he'd get to wear it, but didn't feel confident that would happen anytime soon. It's a nice looking watch, sorry about the subpar photo.

                      An even luckier guy picked up The 1957 Trilogy, which consists of a Speedmaster, Seamaster 300, and Railmaster. Just so that you can hate him more, he was wearing a worn Rolex Pepsi GMT, and had a ceramic Daytona with him. (I think that @louisbosco would have mugged him. With my help.)

                      I took a look at a couple of Globemasters. This is the limited edition platinum annual calendar. A bit outside my price bracket…

                      The standard Globemaster in two-tone. It's a nice watch, but I feel it's one of those things that I should like, but doesn't gel for some reason.

                      Of the blingy watches, I liked the De Ville Trésor in white gold the best. It's a handwound design, but doesn't look too flash.

                      Here's a better photo of the limited edition Seamaster 300 I posted a few days ago. I was trying to persuade the son of the Speedy Tuesday's owner that he should get this, but he's keener on a Tudor Black Bay. It sold a couple of minutes after I took this photo.

                      Lastly, the Ploprof. This one has a titanium dial, and feels a bit lighter and more comfortable than the Seamaster, above. It's probably my favourite watch that Omega make, though I'd be tempted by the orange bezel version.

                            Thinking of picking up one of those, Giles? They're cheap as chips, and I assume even more so in China.

                                        Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like Rolex wearers. 😉

                                        There might be a reason for that. 🙂

                                          Jeremy Clarkson is a full-on twat, regardless of his views on Rolex.

                                          Possibly wrong thread for that statement. Un-pop?
