      I do like the Apple Watch too…

        It does a lot of things for a lot of people. I always appreciate the people who double wrist: Apple Watch on one wrist, mechanical watch on another.

          @henry_david I should have been more specific, sorry.

          I meant this one…....

          I've never seen the back of an Apple watch, but I bet it don't look like this.....

              The last version of it is absolutely brilliant! It uses Apple's "spinning wheel" as the seconds combined with an amazingly black dial. If money were no option, it would be mine  😃

                  Yeah, that's the one. The first one (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/h-moser-swiss-alp-watch-concept-black-minute-repeater-tourbillon) was a tourbillon minute repeater with the tourbillon exposed dial-side and no visible hand-set.

                        so have I. but I've felt that I'll do it for a few months because it's exciting and new, and then give up after that.. in which, I would've wasted money on an Apple Watch.

                          Oh I only wear the apple watch now. I put the rolley back in it's box  ???. It's more the inverse for me.

                            I've been doubling for a about a year and a half- mechanical on the left wrist, Garmin Vivosport on the right.  One thing about it that I kinda like- if I travel to another time zone, I can leave the watch on home time and let the Garmin sync to local.

                              I'll be the contrarian and advise wearing two mechanicals instead. While I've never been a huge fan of wearables, I'm even less a fan given lockdowns and staring at screens all thetime.

                                        I keep hoping maybe this year, year after year, will be the year I can afford my much coveted Tag Heuer Monaco calibre 12. Maybe hopefully soon.  🙂

                                          Omega have just announced a number of new models for 2021.

                                          There's a new Seamaster 300 Professional in black ceramic.

                                          The retro Seamaster 300 has had a facelift, which now has a sandwich dial.

                                          They're also offering it in what they call bronze gold, which is an alloy of bronze and gold. Yeah, I know, imaginative naming there…

                                          I particularly like the new Tresor with small seconds and a power reserve.

                                            That bronze gold is nice looking. It's not cheap though.

                                            Speaking of bronze, I'm interested in the Longines Legend Diver. I don't know much about the brand though. How does it compare to, say, Oris?
