Watches - another OCD problem

[Anesthetist]

@Graeme I had the original FXD on my wrist right now and I love it. I would get the GMT as well if it wasnt so similar.

@Graeme all 3 are absolute beauties. I've never looked too closely at the Speed-Masters and that obviously makes me a dolt...but my buddy has one and I was playing with it the other day and am now VERY interested indeed!

[Anesthetist]

@Mizmazzle it’s a shame what they have done to their pricing. My first Speedy was like 2700ish and a special edition. The FOIS is hot AF tho.

[JDelage]

I like that FXD GMT a lot. 12.7mm thick to boot! GS's GMT are all 14+mm...

@JDelage. For sure man that Tudor FXD GMT is on my radar also. Killer watch!

[mclaincausey]

I was surprised no one posted about that thing earlier. I love it.

[Graeme]

I like all three of the watches, particularly the Rolex. But I suspect that the only way I could get the Yacht-Master would be to promise my firstborn, and I don't have any kids. My dog probably wouldn't cut it.

I would probably have a dilemma between the FOIS and white Speedy if I was going that way.

The FXD GMT was great. There's a bit of a sense of dress up about it, that I'd be pretending to be a rugged Marine Nationale pilot if I wore it.

@Mizmazzle really enjoyed that video. That was quite the shopping spree!

[Mizmazzle]

@IrishHeart haha. By the way Tom was talking the whole time I was kind of surprised he only bought 4! Sounds like the sort of spree isn’t uncommon for him. Sheesh!!

@Graeme yeah the dress up think bothers me about wearing a double rider jacket since I don’t ride but with watches for some reason it doesn’t. Probably because desk divers are much more common than actual divers sporting diver watches.

The cubitus on display.. @Graeme

THIS:

OR THAT?

[mclaincausey]

For me: that

Especially if they’re both Spring Drive

The power meter will always look backwards to me.

[Giles]

THAT is manual wind.

They are effectively the same price in Japan.....

[goosehd]

That as well and I've looked at it numerous times. Simple and elegant.

[Giles]

THAT 37mm v THIS 40mm.........

[Giles]

Then there is this at 38.5 - Spring Drive

[goosehd]

Omiwatari for the win

Ranking them would be 1) Omiwatari 2) 37 mm 3) 40mm

[louisbosco]

prefer the 40mm. first one

[Anesthetist]

The latter for me. I like the case size, the feel of a GS manual winder, and the dial is lovely. I still regret not getting the pink dialed version similar to this watch ON SALE in St Maarten. I dont let my wife forget about it either
