Watches - another OCD problem
-
Adding the tachy was a bad choice, since they're useless for 99.999% of watch buyers, and it unnecessarily cluttered the face. But that silver sunburst dial is gorgeous.
Maybe they'll be smart and do a second run, only this time do a black dial. I bet they'd have no problems selling another 50…

There's a review of the new Ploprof at aBlogToWatch.
Like @Tempvs, I'm a fan, even though something like the Globemaster would be a more practical option. And this one is in my favourite colourway.

MKii Hawkinge. Same look and feel as the IWC I want but about a sixth of the cost.

my mother in law bought me this watch for Christmas ( didnt pick it out or know anything about it ) ….. really thankful , she has always been good to me but this really isnt my style
i wear my Black Bay most days and if i feel like a change i go for my Omega railmaster …. im not really sure what to do ??
-
I believe that's from the Signature series and they are a cut above the basic line. It's a very generous gift!
Give the Black Bay a day off and see if it grows on you. I had a minute repeater from this line and it was really nice.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These watches are super accurate

Only wear it when the mother in law visits? But it was a well intended gift…

Agreed, I think the perpetual calendars push the high end/high accuracy quartz segment like my Citizen Chronomaster.

My daily driver since 2014. Bought one for me and one for my father on my wedding day.
On my 5th wedding anniversary I'll probably treat myself to a Seamaster [emoji12]

Daily beater still going strong. Tropical Nato strap. HBT shirt by 3sixteen, really nice texture on it.

My Maratac Mid Pilot. A really good watch for a great price. It came with a NATO and I added the stainless bracelet. Sapphire crystal has taken a beating and hasn't flinched.

Nice. I have been after a Maratac for ages!

K. I need a watch to go with this/or similar buckle.

SIHH is on this week, which means a whole load of new watches to ogle.
There's been a lot of press about how the industry is suffering, but much of what's being shown off seems to be very high end. (Surely Tourbillons were so last season?) It feels as though it's business as usual, rather than picking a new direction, and a lot of the pieces have a particular classic look, which is starting to feel a bit dated.
So what do I like?
The (take a deep breath) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronometer looks fun. It's got a Seventies vibe, along with a movement that's accurate, laughs at magnetism, and has service intervals measured in geological time. It's probably the sort of thing that I'd buy as a day-to-day piece.
It looks like Vacheron Constantin have got the memo about struggling sales. The Hodinkee Instagram feed had a photo of the small Overseas that's been de-blinged. I'm not a fan of jewels on watches (although I did like a Breitling with black diamonds - I have no shame), so I'd be very tempted by this one.
I'm not normally a fan of Panerai, but the LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech 3 Days PAM 700 is a big, black science experiment, with a fifty year guarantee. Want!
The Lange 31 Monats-Werk has just been unveiled. So named because it's got a 31 day power reserve.
Montblanc have another Minerva based chronograph, the Timewalker Rally Timer. This has the same monopusher movement as the bronze one I was getting very excited about a few weeks ago, but is in a 50 mm titanium case. However, it can be converted into a pocket watch, desk clock, or even clipped into the dashboard holder in your car.
Urwerk have their take on the Reverso.
And MB&F have brought out the HM7, which is a dive watch. Although with 50 metres of water resistance, I can't see it going swimming very often.
