Watches - another OCD problem
-
Wow. Blancpains are the price of a new family car. What an investment piece.
-
so after thinking about it since a little bit over 2 years now and since it was my birthday 2days ago, i went and put my name on the waitinglist for a rolex sea dweller!
*finally going for one!
Well done. Look forward to seeing it. I know you were considered in what you picked - enjoy!
-
Now, if anyone wants to buy an immaculate 1987/8 GMT Pepsi or 1970 black bezel GMT, PM me…..
been away in bali for a week and i see this..
now did you say a 16750 gmt…..
hope you enjoy the FF. the 16750 pepsi is tempting..And make sure that the GMTs aren't sitting on the desk next time I visit.
might be sitting on my wrists…

I spotted a Seamaster 1948 Small Seconds today. They apparently sold out pretty quickly after Baselworld last year, but this was a cancelled order.
I'm tempted.

An article about the Tornek-Rayville, which was a rebadged and re-engineered Fifty Fathoms.

Not many survive, because they were a little bit radioactive!

That watch is lovely, but if find it almost illegible. Had to look twice to see the hands. Oddly enough, this is also my problem with many g-shocks. I don’t get how all up and down the scale there are pieces whose primary function doesn’t work that well.
Obviously this is a pet peeve of mine that ti get too worked up about.

Time and Tide have an office that is just around the corner from where I live, and last night they had an event to celebrate the launch of the Longines Legend Diver. So I went along.
The case is PVD steel and it comes on a rubber strap. Time and Tide (who're selling it) had it on one of their black NATOs, which was a good pairing. I think that the movement is a tweaked ETA.
It's a good looking watch. For people who read Hodinkee (and @Anesthetist ), there's a 36 mm version, but it's not available in black.
A few people had nice watches with them. Someone had an early 2000s Rolex GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
A Glashutte with a spectacular green dial.
And one guy had a watch roll full of vintage pieces he'd sourced in Cuba.
Including this lovely Jaeger chronograph.

Man, l love that green dialed Glashutte.
-
36mm would interest me indeed!

Hodinkee have a write up on the Blancpain Barakuda.

There are comments about it being sold out, but I heard the same thing about the Bathyscaphe Seventies, and there's one of those in a local jeweler's.
