Watches - another OCD problem

I think Chris said it best, “gimmicky crap”.

I officially stopped Ranting about every new Crappy Release of Omega, i cant keep up with the weekly Relase Schedule, that is too fast Fashion for me.

The Seiko Marinemaster ist just Stellar, that is imho one of the nicest watches out there, not only in its Price Range but in every Price Range.

Wow, that's a cool way to adjust time: unlock and rotate the bezel.

Just been reading a review of the Pinion TT on Fratello Watches. What really jumped out at me was this shot of the dial, which looks so clean, and that awesome, bent GMT hand.

They have a nice bronze watch…

The Titanium on the Pinion looks really cool, I orderd myself a Titanium Mug a couple of days Ago just for the looks

Thinking about changing the NATO strap on my Steinhart Vintage as seen below

To this Strap. Thoughts ?

When I was into watches Squale and Glycine I preferred in the sensible price range.
Not rare by any means but I found Steinhart, Seiko, Hamilton and CW so common on watch forums that it was like everyone had the same watch.

I like NATO straps better in general, but in this instance, I think your proposed switch is the better of the two options.

NATO Strap

New Strap

[Chris]

Yep, like that one better.

Just picked this up on the weekend at the Panerai boutique. SE - PAM 716 Mare Nostrum

Will need to get around posting some pics of the watch box. Panerai is second to none with their presentations.

^ that is glorious

[QuantumMechanic]

Cheers! The blue dial is sweet.

The blue dial, the steel case, all of it. I’m normally not a fan of chronographs but the design here is sublime.

[Steffen]

The Mare Nostrums and PP Nautlius are the holy Grail for me, really nice Watch you got yourself there.

[QuantumMechanic]

^ You have good taste!

The watch box has to way 10 pounds, and in typical fashion comes with an additional strap. But this SE also comes with a submarine which if you're a collector are difficult to find.

It triggers my OCD that it specifies kph when units are independent in a tachymeter (you could be measuring anything per hour), but it is a beautiful take on a chronograph regardless.

Sonofabitch, now I can’t unsee it

I spotted a Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Bronze in their boutique a couple of days ago, and since people here are fans of the metal, figured I'd post it.

And here's a photo from Instagram showing what it'll look like with a spot of patina.

Monochrome have just posted a review, and they mentioned it's got a soft iron inner case to protect the movement from magnetism. The product page on the Bell & Ross site doesn't mention this, so I don't know if it's a mistake.

Incidentally, or coincidentally, Fratello have an article on how to patinate a bronze watch, featuring a Pinion Axis.
