      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.

                                            There are tens of thousands of people in the world for whom that price tag has the same meaning as a venti latte has for us. Good for them. Paying $300k over list is how they spread their money around.

                                            I do wonder, along with many others, what are the watches that will prove later to have been great purchases now.
