Watches - another OCD problem
-
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.

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
-
The movement tho…

Very Classy. Price?

I quite like the Defy Skyline, particularly with the white dial, but I'm not for it's something I'd buy.
The Defy Revival A3642 is pretty cool. It's a reissue of a stylised watch from 1969. I've heard that it might have already sold out.
Unfortunately the Defy Inventor, which was the piece I was interested in, appears to have been cancelled. It was announced in 2019, but never made it to market, and has been quietly removed from the website.
