Watches - another OCD problem
-
@ddtrash won't your wife murder or divorce you if you spend any money on watches?
I haven't seen the Laurent Ferrier watches in the metal, but they look good in photos.
If I was spending a lot of money on an independent watch, I'd be tempted by the Bernhard Lederer Three Times Certified Observatory Chronometer. But I don't have CHF 158K lying around to indulge myself.

It’s so sick man. Agreed on the finishing and date window @ddtrash
I feel like it’s my solemn duty as an enabler to remind you that you only live once

@ddtrash was that Pragnells that you visited? I bought my last watch from them and found them very good to deal with.
-
-
@IrishHeart Yep, you nailed it! It is Pragnell's who are stocking the Laurent Ferrier watches.
I have found them good to deal with. I picked up a 40mm Explorer 1 from them, no dramas or hidden jewelry sales policies.

@louisbosco effin ugly in my uninformed opinion

SBGR305 on IHSH-13
Ever thought of making watch straps of left over denim? I would love an IH strap with IH HW.
-
@ddtrash They are great for servicing too. I needed a service on an Omega, and also wanted to replace the strap with a bracelet. The bracelet was £600. When I picked up the watch, they advised that Omega hadn’t invoiced them for the bracelet, so they wouldn’t charge me. They could easily have done so. Really good people.

@Molle that should be added to the IH Gallery

Not an IH strap (yet!!)
-
@Molle ahh instead the IhSH-13 hehe… of course it’s not
-
@steelworker I think so too.

Near an AD on a get away for the weekend. I had previously thought maybe the Daytona would be a good fit for me, but after trying on I really didn’t dig it at all as it felt small. This one was PM oysterflex. Which was very comfortable though. I really liked the panda dial
They did have a sky dweller that I enjoyed on oysterflex but it too was PM and they didn’t have any steel versions.
-
@kkibbey23 Were those PM versions available for purchase? Or display only?

I was into watches too in a major way. Spent way too much money. But realised I can only really wear one watch at a time and I want a watch that tells my story so one is more than enough to document my time on this planet. Something I can hand down to the kids to remember me by.
My wife bought me a Tudor Blackbay 58 blue about 4 years ago as an engagement present and it hasn’t left my wrist since. Ended up selling all the others (some more then 4 times as expensive) as I wanted this watch to start my story, bangs, scratches and all.
I guess the same goes for denim. I have two pairs, IH 25oz 555 and Momotaro 14oz, which I’m wearing most days. Still waiting for the fades to set in. -
Rolex sold now.
Love my Tudor BB58 -
@kkibbey23 - The Sky Dweller is an amazing watch. It may be the best traveller's GMT ever made, and it demonstrates how innovative Rolex can be. As far as I know, the least precious model variation is steel & gold. There's no plain steel model.
