      @Graeme said in Watches - another OCD problem:

      @Giles I like the Aquanauts too, but unless you've got blackmail photos of the AD or are in Thierry Stern's good books, you're unlikely to get one. I'd probably get the Chronograph instead, though.

      @Giles do you want me to to have a word with Thierry, he fixed me up with a 5712 Nautilus last time he and I met up.

      I am sure he could rustle up and Aquanaut travel time for you. 🙂

      There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

              Picked up a Black Bay 58 in blue recently and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The color really changes depending on lighting conditions. Love wearing it with the ihsh-265!IMG_4651.jpeg IMG_4645.jpeg IMG_4638.jpeg

                Gorgeous. That’s my favorite aside from the 54

                Think it, be it.

                      Are you actually diving with your Blancpain Gilles?

                        Of course.

                        Why not? It's a diver.

                          One of my rotation watches. Love this one.

                          Heavy denim is the best denim.

                            @jeffrx the 58 is a nice watch and it was a close call for me between that and the 54.
                            Another snap of mine enhanced by the IH shirt!

                              @IrishHeart, I got the 58 before the 54 came out, otherwise it would have been a close call. Can’t go wrong either way I’d say.

                                    @goosehd it’s another reason why the long sleeve lengths on IH shirts comes in handy!

                                      Yes, lots of robberies lately. Especially Rolex sports models like the Submariner. You have to be cautious where you go with an exposed wrist. Sad times in some ways.

                                        Get a Blancpain and go stealth. Only ever had one person comment on it....And, one of the reasons we gave @Alex a Grand Seiko and not a Rolex for his 30th..

                                          My wife got me a really nice watch as a wedding gift. I only wear it on special occasions. She has a hard time understanding why I don’t wear it to my school where I work in a very low income, title one building. One, I’m not trying to flaunt a fancy watch in the faces of the underprivileged kids I work with. Two, I don’t want to be robbed walking out to my truck after school.
                                          I bring it out on date nights and special occasions. Sadly, I am on high alert when I wear it.

                                          In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                            I will have a grand seiko or a zenith one day. The defy classic redo speaks to me. Mostly I wear field watches, IT work is hard on watches! My current favorite field watch is marathon navigator. The trit tubes have spoiled me.

                                            Now, I have an IRONHEART!!
