Watches - another OCD problem

[JDelage]

When GS opened the Paris shop, they had 2 special edition models in precious metal, exclusive to the shop. For the London one, they have one, steel cased, and quite reminiscent (undistinguishable really) of the limited edition model I posted a few weeks ago…

Looks like I've secured a SBGY027. It should ship to me in a few days.

That is a lovely thing, I am truly envious! That being said, I’m relieved I wont be getting one as I would spend all my time admiring that dial.

One of my favorites they’ve done. Great score!

Agree, a beautiful dial. @JDelage very pleased you managed to snag one. I must check out that London boutique store version next chance I get.  I suspect with only 50 available they will be gone soon.

@JDelage that's a very pretty dial. I'm glad to hear that you managed to snag one.

@ddtrash you've exceeded your quota for nice watches, and you have to leave some for the rest of us!

Nice looking Nomos Tangente.

The Tangente is such a timeless classic! I got mine as a present from my parents for passing my law exam almost 20 years ago.
I only stopped wearing it in favor of the Ahoi from Nomos.

Same with me. Got me Tangente roughly 6 years ago and stopped wearing it as soon as I got my Omega Seamaster. Though it is classy in looks, I was not so satisfied with its accuracy.

I’ve had mine for ~12 years and never had an issue. I’m not super OCD about timing though as long as it isnt an obvious issue.

Drift of about 5 to 10 minutes a week is something that I could not digest with my Tangente.

You want accurate, look at your phone 

[mclaincausey]

Agreed, but given that mechanical watches are already somewhat of an affectation since they're obsolete, I also understand placing a premium on accuracy. It's pretty cool when they can dial it in on a mechanical watch. I even appreciate Spring Drive and super accurate quartz–it doesn't have to be practical to matter.

I do miss wearing a mechanical watch, but not enough to ditch my smart watch.

[JDelage]

And it's here. It is lovely…

@JDelage Extremely beautiful!!!

@JDelage that's a pretty watch.

[ddtrash]

@JDelage What a stunning watch, love the dial texture, very unique.

This year is the seventieth anniversary of the Fifty Fathoms and the twentieth anniversary of its revival. Blancpain are celebrating milking it with a series of limited editions. This is the first, which is a 42 mm model, which is a new size, in steel.

It's going to be released as three series of seventy, with each being sold in a particular geographical area. It looks pretty close to the fiftieth anniversary model.

Here's hoping that they do something cooler as well, such as the Barakuda or Seventies.
