Watches - another OCD problem
-
…unless it gets whacked all the way around. Some of them (e.g. 50 Fathoms) are so loud you'd hopefully hear it.
-
Yes it does. Nice watch!
I am really wanting a type B flieger and one of those would look great on it.

I saw an Omega Planet Ocean Big Blue yesterday. It's got a ceramic case, which is good, and a helium escape valve, which isn't.
Hehe. Well lookee here.
No comparison between the Omega and these, but interesting affordable option.

I've been watch shopping over the last few weeks, and seen a pile of things that I quite like. Some of which I can even afford.
First up is the full metal G-Shock. The second generation has the display flipped, so it's a black LCD. This is the all-black model, which I liked. It feels solid, and would probably hold up in comparison to some more expensive Swiss pieces. Some of the reviews said that they're heavy, but I didn't find it too bad.
The Girard Perregaux Laureato Skeleton in black ceramic. It's nice, but I'm not sure if I'd spend $55K (Australian) on something like this. I'd probably save myself a chunk of change, and get the Jaquet Droz Skelet-One instead.
The non-ceramic version is half the price.
The Montblanc Rally Timer is a big hunk of titanium, with a lovely Minerva monopusher inside. It's the same price as the GP skeleton, though a lot less practical.
The Oris Big Crown is lovely, and I'm surprised that @Anesthetist hasn't got one already. (It's more his size than the Montblanc!) The case is a dark bronze, so will patinate, but the strap seems sized more for women's wrists, and I couldn't buckle it.
Another bronze Oris, the Carl Brashear Chronograph. It's a limited edition, and a rather nice piece.
The Omega Railmaster with the blue dial has been in the shops for a few weeks, but up until not I've only seen it on the bracelet. Here it is on the denim strap.

The all metal G-Shock is heavy *for a G-Shock
Even my stupidly oversized GWG-100 feels light compared to a steel watch
Casio just released a resin and composite bracelet version with the same module. Pretty cool

GMT Master ll with green hand matching IHSH-181-GRN
i'm so pissed with mine. stopped moving, and wouldn't move even if you keep winding it, all right after a service to fixed that issue. sent it back to rolex for a second time now, hopefully to get it sorted once and for all..

I hope they get it sorted. I have used Michael Young a few times for repairs and service and have been very pleased with the work. -

Maybe not practical, but damn, is it good looking.
And the denim strap on the Omega is, well, not good looking…

Lovely from Tudor. By no means attempting to be or resemble a tool watch. Though I do love GMT, Pelagos (I could get over the novel written on its dial and the HEV) and to a lesser extent Black Bay.

I saw that Tudor yesterday, and it's a lovely looking piece. I think that it's a good candidate for an only watch, though it's probably a bit less casual than a Black Bay.
Bear in mind that it's a 42 mm case, so will be fairly large. The limited edition Omega Seamaster anniversary models have a similar style and smaller diameter, but are more expensive and possibly sold out.

Finally got a new battery in this guy and have been wearing it non-stop. Def on par with the Grand Seikos I’ve owned.
