      The beauty about it to my mind, is that very few people know what on earth it is.  Every shitbag on the make, knows what a Rolex is….

          My favourite Fifty Fathoms variant is the Seventies model, though in the original colour scheme rather than the new Desert style.

          But I'd really suggest looking at the Glashütte Original Diver's Watch. When I saw them both a couple of years ago, I thought that it was better finished than the Blancpain.

                ugh.  i found one 'in stock' for the new limited edition at retail price.  at a AD.  i called immedaitely.  They sold it on friday and hadn't updated their website.  i am crushed still.  Two of hte preowned ones i was keeping tabs on have sold on chrono 24.  may just go to tourneau after my 4pm and just buy it there.

                          I took the time to try on a few watches this weekend in Nashville. The Hamilton is the “Murph” edition and is a watch that has been on my list for a while. However after trying it on, it is a bit too large for my wrist. The Omega is a new to me style but is quite attractive and priced pretty well (for an Omega at least). It might be a contender in the future?

                          Lastly the Oris x Momotaro was a total surprise and actually a really, really attractive piece in the flesh. It is also well priced. Might see about it on the gray market.

                            @Anesthetist the Murph looks good, but I agree that it seems a bit big for you. You'd better hit the gym to bulk up those wrists! 😃

                            I like the Oris too, but I'm not so fond of the Omega as the dial is a bit busy.

                              SBGY007 Any thoughts???  This caught my eye a month ago, and I’m trying hard to resist.

                                      I would take any one of those Grand Seiko's…They are all beautiful.  Pricing, fit/finish, and case size are all outstanding...

                                        @goosehd – I always like helping others spend their money so I say YES! The dial is beyond and GS is, in my opinion, one of the finest makers around.

                                        @Giles – I mean … it is your birthday is it not?  😃

                                            The denim strap seems like a useless gimmick, but the Momotaro Oris is really good looking otherwise.
