        Lots of "luxury sport watches" coming out these days, as everyone else already noticed. I find those very compelling and I happen to have a couple coming my way in the next couple months (hopefully).

        The just announced Lang & Heyne Hektor is a cool variation, although maybe overpriced given the hand wound movement…

              I love it, really. This is my third piece, had the first gen. in black, when blue came it was instant love, than I had a watches-off period and 2,5 yrs ago it came back and I bought these and never had on my mind sale of them. They are from technical and design point of view for me absolutely perfect

                The Pelagos is a lovely looking watch. It looks the part of a tool watch without being clunky.

                  Yeah, the blue is where it's at in my opinion, @Moty. All of the watch-obsessed folk on Hodinkee/other watch forums always talk about getting one of these and never quite do so. From what I understand, these watches very well and can take a beating. Plus, the design is simply perfect and, again, that blue is beautiful. If I were to buy a modern day diver, I'd have to say that it would be a blue Pelagos.

                    So true, it is such an universal watch, you can wear with jeans, suit or swimsuit

                              Blancpain have come up with a titanium version of the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Looks nice.

                                If it´s blue it´ll be must-have for me 😉

                                  I just can't help but feel the Bathyscaphe to be a bridesmaid to the original models, though there are many fine examples, especially that one.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    I prefer the Bathyscaphe to the full fat Fifty Fathoms because it's a simpler, more utilitarian design. Though I don't think that's a widely held opinion.

                                      The Bathyscaphe's hands remind me of the Sinn U1's.

                                        More refined but totally agree.

                                          Just a personal quirk of mine, but I'm always put off when the hands are different widths like that.

                                            Want a green Nautilus? Loupe This are currently auctioning one, and the price has (at the time of writing) hit $332,000, with five days to go.

                                            The Nautilus is objectively a nice watch, though it's never really done it for me, but I remain to be convinced that it's worth nearly $300K over list. Several people, who are considerably richer than me, disagree.
