            Amazing watch, G.  One of the coolest blancpains ever.  Enjoy it.

              Thanks, I've had it a few years, but needed to swap out the strap, but 50 Fathoms do not come with spring bars.  So it's a bit of a job getting everything sorted….

                I have watched many of those Watchfinder videos. That guy has an amazing voice.

                I have 3 GS so far. I like them very much, especially the simple 3-hand dress watches.

                GS has the edge on case finish. They may or not have the edge on movements, depending on your priorities. Rolex seems to have the edge on bracelet (maybe) and clasps (consensus). IMHO, Rolex has the edge on convenience / comfort. Look at dive watches or GMTs, and the Rolex are smaller and (more importantly) thinner than the GS.

                  The three handers from GS are  😛 😛 😛 The best there is out there. I would buy one of those any day of the week before a dress watch from another brand (PP included).

                  I do hope that GS thins out its watches a bit… It's hard because the Oyster case just wears so well.

                          H. Moser and the Armoury put out a collaboration watch, the Endeavour Small Seconds Total Eclipse. It's got a 38 mm case, Vantablack dial, and a hand wound movement.

                          It was produced as a limited edition of 28 in each of two colourways. I like it, but it's already sold out.

                            It doesn't do anything for me. Vantablack is a cool material for dials though, and it should be explored more (I know Moser's done other pieces with it.)

                              Vantablack aside, it looks like something Movado would come up with to me. I bet the seconds hand spinning in the void looks cool in the flesh though.

                                It’s cool but it fails a bit on legibility for me

                                    It’s nice but doesn’t quite get there for me. Not worried about legibility (most of the time I wear a single-hander) and Breguet hands always do it for me (maybe because I’m more into clocks than watches). Unlikely, but if I ever saw a watch with trefoil hands …
