Watches - another OCD problem

Wow I love that one

[JDelage]

Yeah, that Chopard LUC was my fav' of the new models presented at W&W. It's really pretty.

I dwelled on omega long and hard but couldn’t find a reliable preowned one (focused on the aquaterra or Railmaster in blue) so I went with this new for ability to wear consistently when I’m not wearing my Garmin. Any other experience with this?

The Oris Pro Pilot with the 5 day movement has been getting rave reviews from Hodinkee, etc. I personally like the Kermit version

Did you already buy the Oris? I am a little confused.

[Dans]

Ya just got it this week

[mclaincausey]

Dude! Love the surly mug. I may have the same one from the Russian Imperial Stout release party many years ago @Dans

[Anesthetist]

@Dans congrats man!

New warch arrival… This is an Omega De Ville 4533.31. I’ve been looking for a “true”, or traveller’s, dual time watch, and that one was one of my top choices.

[Brandrea]

I’ve been a watch nerd since I was kid. Love them and I own a few nice references.

[Anesthetist]

@JDelage very classy and functional addition to the flock! I’ve always thought the Deville deserves more attention so I’m glad you nabbed one. How is the bracelet?

[JDelage]

The bracelet is very comfortable and unique looking. I'm not sure I would want it as my only watch, but as a rotation piece I think it's a lot of fun. Note that the brick road bracelet is also available on a yellow gold model; it must be quite something.

[Anesthetist]

I imagine you’re right! Only prob would be all the munchkins and flying monkeys coming after your yellow brick road

Nice

[the246guy]

@JDelage That's a nice dressy GMT watch. Is that still being sold? I could not see that from the Omega's website?

[JDelage]

@the246guy - no, it's a few years old. I bought it from a seller in Japan, on Chrono24. There's not a lot of traveller's GMT produced these days, and most of those are very thick. The best "true" GMT being made right now's probably the Rolex Explorer II, but it's impossible to get. Grand Seiko makes a fair number but they're too thick.

Oh man anyone see Omegas summer blue collection today? i finally got a used Railmaster in blue denim otherwise I’d be saving for that

[JDelage]

New H.Moser flyback chrono Streamliner, first boutique edition from Moser. It's stunning and completely unattainable for most of us....

The video is awesome.

[Graeme]

@Dans the blue Omegas are nice, but the highlight of that collection has to be the PloProf, which is the central watch in the below photo. That said, I'd prefer the titanium model from a few years ago.

@JDelage are you getting the Moser?

Singer Reimagined were the original users of the Agenhor chronograph movement that the Moser shares, and they've just unveiled the 1969 models, which are slightly more compact and slightly more retro. They look really nice.

[JDelage]

@Graeme - No, I already have a green Streamliner...
