      Fantasic @Mizmazzle !

      Have had this Steelfish for about 14 years now. Still runs and looks great.

            I was in Melbourne on Wednesday for a couple of appointments, and I had a bit of free time before the train after my dentist cancelled on me, so I went watch browsing. 😄

            Omega is good at getting new models into their boutiques quickly, and they had the First Omega in Space on display. It's a very pretty piece, and a bit smaller than the regular Speedmaster. I particularly like how the sapphire crystal is ground to match the shape of the Hesalite in the originals. It's got the modern 3861 movement, so Master Chronometer certified, antimagnetic, etc. I like it, though I'd have to compare it with the white Speedy.

            First Omega in Space

            The Hour Glass had the (deep breath) Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT Zulu Time x Marine Nationale, which is a titanium cased GMT diver and pilot's watch hybrid. It's got fixed lugs machined into the case, and the salesman described it as basically indestructible. The movement is Master Chronometer rated, like the Omega, which is probably a step up on big brother Rolex's regime. I liked it too.

            They also had the Rolex Yacht-Master in titanium on display. These came out a while back, but my understanding is that sanctions on Russia has made it harder to get hold of the metal (despite Tudor having no problems), and that has constrained production. I prefer it to the other professional models, as it's a bit more stealth. I just wish they'd made a no-date version, like Ben Ainslie's original prototype.

            The Hour Glass is a Patek dealer, but they didn't have the Cubitus on display. Apparently, they have a "not for sale" piece arriving in the next few weeks, and I'm planning on going down to see it.

                @Graeme I had the original FXD on my wrist right now and I love it. I would get the GMT as well if it wasnt so similar.

                  @Graeme all 3 are absolute beauties. I've never looked too closely at the Speed-Masters and that obviously makes me a dolt...but my buddy has one and I was playing with it the other day and am now VERY interested indeed!

                    @Mizmazzle it’s a shame what they have done to their pricing. My first Speedy was like 2700ish and a special edition. The FOIS is hot AF tho.

                      I like that FXD GMT a lot. 12.7mm thick to boot! GS's GMT are all 14+mm...

                          I was surprised no one posted about that thing earlier. I love it.

                            I like all three of the watches, particularly the Rolex. But I suspect that the only way I could get the Yacht-Master would be to promise my firstborn, and I don't have any kids. My dog probably wouldn't cut it.

                            I would probably have a dilemma between the FOIS and white Speedy if I was going that way.

                            The FXD GMT was great. There's a bit of a sense of dress up about it, that I'd be pretending to be a rugged Marine Nationale pilot if I wore it.

                                @IrishHeart haha. By the way Tom was talking the whole time I was kind of surprised he only bought 4! Sounds like the sort of spree isn’t uncommon for him. Sheesh!!

                                  @Graeme yeah the dress up think bothers me about wearing a double rider jacket since I don’t ride but with watches for some reason it doesn’t. Probably because desk divers are much more common than actual divers sporting diver watches.
