Watches - another OCD problem
-
@Pipeboss713 I like your taste. I picked up an Expedition in 2010 and love its understated look. It’s a perfect fit for me.
-
@Giles no need to apologize, in fact I hope you post more. I have my Mark XVIII to keep me company and will work my way to hopefully finding one used. The new price is rather staggering.

Who are you, and what have you done with the real @Anesthetist? You never used to be a fan of big watches.
I like the Big Pilot with the Big Date complication. Mr Porter still have a few listed with the bronze case.
-
@Graeme I know, but sometimes you gotta go from 555’s to 634’s
-
@JDelage I feel the same. There are so many amazing watches in the 13k range that out class the IWC in so many ways. In truth I dont think I’ll ever get the Big Pilot but for now it will be an object of lust.

Never thought I’d have wrist shot if this baby but her she is. Home for good

@Pipeboss713 great wristgear dude!

I agree @JDelage, Cartier seem to be able to nail design very well. I was sad to the "Drive de Cartier" line axed. I thought this was a versatile line within the collection.
The line I struggle with is the Santos ( contrary to popular opinion ) None of the flat face screw heads on the bezel or bracelet align. I am not OCD but I can't really cope with the randomly finished screw heads on the Santos.

I got off the rig (having been at work for a few weeks) on Monday just past and spent the afternoon around Dubai Mall watch browsing. A few random take aways from the afternoon:
. The new Zenith pilot watches are nicer in the hand than the press release pictures give away. These were the only 2023 Watches
and wonders release watches in any of the boutiques I visited, and I visited most of them.. I have reiterated my request to be allocated the Salmon dial Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XPS.
. Still can not get onto any kind of Patek or Rolex list in Dubai.
. I was pleasantly surprised by the finishing (dial mainly) on the current Breitling range. The Top Time chronographs were well executed fun watches.
. The one watch I could have easily purchased and took home was the basic time only Bulgari Octo Finissimo in matt black ceramic. Super light, thin and comfortable. The chronograph version was too big for my wrist.
. I know very little about Panerai but out of curiosity visited their showroom. I learned that I can rock a 45mm case Radiomir, they wear smaller than the case size number suggests.

Wow I love that one
