Watches - another OCD problem
-
I wasn't paying much attention to the Noctambule's legibility, but it's not as bad as some skeletonised watches that I've seen. The hands are polished steel, whilst the background is darker.
Whilst it is a lovely watch, you could buy an awful lot of G-Shocks for the same price!

Finally put my new strap on my Seiko .
-
No sir I haven’t . Got me intrigued .

Time and Tide have an office that is just around the corner from where I live, and last night they had an event to celebrate the launch of the Longines Legend Diver. So I went along.
The case is PVD steel and it comes on a rubber strap. Time and Tide (who're selling it) had it on one of their black NATOs, which was a good pairing. I think that the movement is a tweaked ETA.
It's a good looking watch. For people who read Hodinkee (and @Anesthetist ), there's a 36 mm version, but it's not available in black.
A few people had nice watches with them. Someone had an early 2000s Rolex GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
A Glashutte with a spectacular green dial.
And one guy had a watch roll full of vintage pieces he'd sourced in Cuba.
Including this lovely Jaeger chronograph.

Man, l love that green dialed Glashutte.

36mm would interest me indeed!

Those are my favorite of the 4, but the other two are not bad either…

Hodinkee have a write up on the Blancpain Barakuda.

There are comments about it being sold out, but I heard the same thing about the Bathyscaphe Seventies, and there's one of those in a local jeweler's.

…but even if you do, if you log the GPS coordinates and scour the area, being at least the equal of a Submariner, it should be fine even after 14 months undersea.
