Watches - another OCD problem
-
Just ordered this watch by Slow. Kind of unique. Swiss movement, but they only use the 24hr hand and left off the date, hour & minute. Nice & clean, but will be an adjustment to read.
-
Yeah, it is a weird adjustment. I have a 24hr dial watch that I bought off ebay a few years back- Chinese automatic movement in a Russian watch, like this one:
I used it to drive Julie crazy. She stopped wearing a watch for a few years, and so she'd constantly ask me for the time. When she asked while I was wearing this one, I simply held up my arm so that she could see the watch and figure it out herself. It didn't take long for her to stop asking.

Haha, that's too good.

There's a review of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms up on ABlogToWatch. I know there are a few fans of this piece around here…

There's also an article about the new Villeret, which uses a modified version of the movement from the Fifty Fathoms. I wonder if this might make it into an update of that model if they refresh it now the Bathyscaphe is out.

I may have done another volte face. One of my customers makes these. There may be a barter in my future….

They look pretty sharp. The bronze with the green face is very nice.

Upgraded the watch strap on the incoming watch. Whiskey shell ought to do. Now I need the watch to arrive.
-
Yeah, and the color of the pic is pretty accurate to real life. Rare as that is.
-
That is a lovely upgrade. I'm interested in your impressions on wearing a one-hander, too.

I love this watch. Way too steep for my blood, especially since I have the Yang Speedy to this Yin. But it's gorgeous, the first ceramic bodied watch I remember loving.

Badass Omega. True class.
My watch came in the mail today. Swapped out bands and I'm ready for 24 hour fun.
