I thought that's what she said....

@mclaincausey it's probably my favourite Alpine Eagle, even without a bracelet, but the open worked model is a close second.

@louisbosco I don't know how much clout Ben Clymer has these days, but that Patek seems to be on a lot of best of lists. Mere mortals like us will probably not get one.

have been watching quite a few you tube videos from watches and wonders the past few days since they keep coming up on my feed for some reason, there are some very very impressive looking time pieces about

Zenith is offering a platinum bracelet for the GFJ, if you've got more money than the average Doctor Evil meme references.

They really love that cross hatch motif innit?

ChatGPT said that if we want to do an economically illiterate tariff based on trade deficits Switzerland will sit at 30% so that's now in place. Fun times for American watch enthusiasts!

[Giles]

Fret not, you can still buy one of theses “Swiss-made” beauties duty free, because they are actually made in Wyoming…..

Just heard back from MB&F that I was picked for their M.A.D.2 raffle (I have entered the raffle each time). So this should be coming to me in the next few weeks or months. Not too excited to pay 31% tariff on it. Maybe I'll get lucky. Fourth green dial watch...
M.A.D. is the (much!) lower priced small series production from MB&F. It uses a La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a custom jumping hour module.

Man the Tudor Pelagos Ultra is mighty fine. Finally they restrained themselves from writing a novel on the dial @Giles

Cmon sports watch makers. Take it down a notch. This looks so much better. A sports watch should tell me the basics with minimal distraction and cognitive load.

It’s a Coke bottle green GShock type of day.

I love the steel bracelet of the Planet Ocean, but this specific model looks even better on the rubber bracelet, the way it was worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royal. I just could not bring myself to pay 400 € for the original Omega rubber bracelet, so I got myself an aftermarket version and I must say, that I'm pretty happy with it.

[Graeme]

Omega has just released a pair of Railmaster models, which are basically no date versions of the Aqua Terra. Note the lack of text on the dial compared to other watches in their collection.

Thanks for sharing @Graeme

I like the simplicity of the one on the right

[mclaincausey]

Same. Very vintage without looking like it’s trying to be very vintage. The broad arrow is a nice touch.
