Watches - another OCD problem

@Anesthetist I love the face on that watch omegas make some fantastic watches.

[Anesthetist]

@gazza61 agree. This is a rare event when the actual watch looks 1000x better than the press release.

[gazza61]

@Anesthetist I own two speedmasters, im now thinking I need seamaster.

[Anesthetist]

@gazza61 I have an X33 and HAD a Speedy. I shouldnt have sold it

@jeffrx - I love MOP dials. Note that your Sinn also exist in Tahiti black MOP, which can be quite dramatic and maybe would work better on your skin.

I was at the Rolex AD downtown, and they have a lovely model with a MOP dial and diamond markers. A bit feminine, but not too much. They also had the black dial Tudor Pelagos FXD, which contrary to the limited blue dialed one has a unidirectional bezel. Might well be one of the best available dive watch.

[Anesthetist]

No doubt about it. I have the blue and it is a FANTASTIC watch for the money.

[mclaincausey]

It is lovely.

I dig this one that just popped up in my feed though I’d prefer not to have the He escape valve.

[Anesthetist]

I get that but the He valve is a Seamaster signature!

@JDelage after wearing this one for a few days, it’s kind of growing on me. I’m just not used to white dials I guess and my brain needed time to adjust. It’s different that’s for sure. I’d love to try on a Rolex Explorer II with the white dial at some point to see how that looks and feels. Even that Rolex model, which was never considered one of their more highly sought after models, is hard to get these days.

Seikos first divers watch was introduced in 1965. My example of the 6217-8001 (aka 62MAS) is from 1967.

[gazza61]

had this watch 30 years now ,still one of my fav dress watch.

[Molle]

@gazza61 Never scratch

[gazza61]

@Molle same as my speedy dark side of the moon,just got to be carefull not to drop them on a hard surface.

[Molle]

Seikos 2nd diver, 6215-7000. Only produced for one year, 1967. I thought the text of the M65 label was very suitable also for the watch.

IH flannel & H. Moser….

[mclaincausey]

Love love love that Moser @JDelage

Grand Seiko SBGR305 from 2017. First one where they ditched Seiko at the top of the dial and Grand Seiko was made a brand of its own. Titanium case and 9S68 automatic movement.

[Giles]

I'd wear that

[mclaincausey]

Yeah that’s a beauty. Simplicity wins the day. A simple “automatic” is great. I don’t need the watch to flex about its Hi Beat or Spring Drive. I can simply watch the seconds hand if I feel I need to know that for some reason. Knowing whether or not it requires a manual wind is justifiable intel to display.
