Watches - another OCD problem

[summ3rhays]

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.

The illusive whiskey cordovan - still coming out darker than it used to but still so pretty

[summ3rhays]

Yeah, and the color of the pic is pretty accurate to real life.  Rare as that is.

[Chris]

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.
