Watches - another OCD problem

[Tago Mago]

@Giles 100% agreed on Rolex. The GS looks very nice

I agree the MM300 is prettier, but the bezel’s impossible to operate with wet fingers. I have the fully auto GS diver. It’s a great watch (but it’s thicc!)

[Giles]

I never use the bezel

And, does thick matter in a dive watch? Serious question. It's not like I'm going to have a problem with shirt cuffs, obviously when diving, but I don't wear long sleeve shirts on a diving holiday (because I am a wuss, and don't dive in cold places)...

My "I'm likely to do some shit to my watch today" is this, and that's pretty thick (and the bezel is completely and utterly unusable) ...

I've been out on UKIYO fishing today and knew that the watch could take a beating, which is why it's on my wrist....

If you could remove cultural context entirely, purely from a design perspective, I love Rolex divers especially if the dial isn’t over the top with text. Great, slim case and great bracelet and it inspired tons of copycats.

I don’t understand why one would prefer a chunkier version of it, at least based on the merits of design alone. I do understand reacting to the cultural trappings associated with the brand and / or model though.

I think Submariner, Tudor, Superocean, FF, Seiko, GS, Panerai, and SeaQ all have worthwhile entrants into the debate.

[Giles]

SeaQ yes, and I love this too....

@Giles

For sure, there’s a lot of great watches/timepieces out there. Some of us get stuck on particular ones and brands

On the subject of great divers, I picked this up for my old man on his 60th birthday. He quickly told me it knocks my submariner clean out the room

It’s just dawned on me that my Fastrider Chrono and IHT-2503 are a dream pairing (might feature in WAYWT tomorrow). Objectively, there’s a lot that could be better with the watch, but I fell in love with it when I planned to buy something else back in 2017 and it still makes me smile when I wear it!

Wearing these after a long time with my Omega AT. Feels fantastic.

@Giles not to highjack the thread but me too

Now back to watches, my Dad sold a gold ring that was his granddad’s and bought my brothers and I Tag Heuers. Completely and I mean COMPLETELY unexpected from him.
I’m pretty excited about it, especially since he bought one for himself as well.
