WRT the Red Sea, I think the way to get the most out of it is to do a live aboard and go to the pinnacle islands way off shore (Brothers, Daedalus, etc). You get both small reef life and large pelagic, and no crowds. I loved it.

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.

The new Singer Heritage chrono is gor-geous. Powered by a hand-wound Valjoux 236, which is beautiful in its own right. MSRP is 16,700 CHF.

@Giles said in How Do I Post A Photo or Upload An Image:

I'm on a Mac. If you copy the web image then you can paste directly into the post...

Ah, yes that works. Obvious in retrospect. Thank you.

I'm on a Mac. If I click the upload image icon I get the option to upload from my drive, not to embed a web picture.

Could someone remind me how to embed a web picture into a response? I can't seem to find the right button, and obviously the [img][/img] tag doesn't work. Thank you!

Nomos has a cool GMT, in a number of colors, which might be the best option in that price range: https://monochrome-watches.com/nomos-club-sport-neomatik-worldtimer-introducing-limited-editions-specs-price/

My favorite new release for now is H. Moser's Pop collection, a series of watches using 6 stones in 2-stone dial combos. There are 3 base models (small second, tourbillon, tourbillon + minute repeater) that can be ordered in any of the 6 2-stone combos, so a total of 18 different watches. They're expensive, with the cheapest small second starting at $30k, but beautiful.

I'm not sure how to link images (as opposed to upload), but the collection is worth taking a look at here: https://h-moser.com/pop-collection/

That Land Dweller is not an ugly watch TBH. I'm sure it will sell very well.

I also have a B-6 from him. It's a lovely jacket, quite light and surprisingly warm. John's pictures:

I just took delivery of my 2nd Good Wear jacket. I'm lucky enough to live 30mn away...

That's beautiful, especially the lighter one. I love meteorite. I have a nice chunk somewhere here.

Pretty!

The 222 is gorgeous. Too expensive but gorgeous.

I recently met someone wearing a vintage Omega Polaris. It's a bit small by today's standards but it's very nice for a bi-metal watch. They should update & re-release it IMHO.

That new Omega is14.7mm thick. That's a non starter.

Yes, the regular Promenade is 18k CHF.

So, Fratello & Czapek are releasing a new collaboration, the Promenade, with a semi transparent green dial. It's €32k, so massively overpriced IMHO, but is interesting because it shows some of the movement. I've always thought Capek's movement is the most interesting part of their watches, so it's nice to be able to see it on the face side.

@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.

I love the LF Sport Auto...
