Watches - another OCD problem

[Giles]

And, call me old fashioned, but a tool watch should not have a crystal case-back.

@Graeme:

I see a trend going on with bronze cases especially after Tudor did it. I have to say they're quite nice indeed.

OK, that cracked me up:

That's hilarious!

Completely Somewhat useless, but very cool: https://code41watches.com/projects/mecascape/

So, it's an ungainly pocketwatch that duplicates the form factor of a smartphone that also tells time?

Aight den…

[Maynard Friedman]

That's probably the ugliest, most useless thing I've ever seen. It's as though someone was given some vague requirements to create a smartwatch - "a phone/watch hybrid" - and totally misinterpreted them!

Tiffany's Nautilus #1, sold at auction to benefit the Nature Conservancy … $6,503,500!

@JDelage did you buy it? It would match your avatar's colour scheme.

I like the dial on the Tiffany Nautilus, but I could think of watches for the same RRP that I'd prefer to own, speculative gains aside.

[JDelage]

Even the regular model is (was) beyond me, unless for flipping. This one's price beat all the estimates I'd seen before.

I admit I've been fascinated by the Nautilus for a while and I actually genuinely like that one. At this point, I'm most interested in how Tiff' decides to sell the watches. It's clearly a play by LVMH to rebuild the brand, which has become a bit dusty. I think the right business decision would be to handpick every single one of the 169 remaining lucky numbers for maximum exposure & coolness, irrespective of their Tiffany seniority as customers.

Unimatic U4 

This beauty was under the tree yesterday and I’m pretty happy with it. The OG strap is ok, but I think this kangaroo NATO fits it perfectly.

That’s a really striking watch. Very nice

You’ll always know it’s yours. I have a fine scratch on the sapphire of my Explorer I. I can always ID it that way.

You scratched a sapphire crystal? That's impressive.

From my understanding, most scratches on sapphire crystals are not in the glass itself. Sapphire crystals are extremely light reflective. For better visibility, they are covered with an AR coating, to reduce glare. Unless scratched with a harder substance(diamond, for example), most scratches are to that coating.
