Watches - another OCD problem

WRT Chopard, I like the new LUC 1860 in steel with a gold guilloche dial:

As for gaudy....

I think Jacob & Co trolls with intentionally garbage designs.

Got a Garmin Epix 2. Love it!

[louisbosco]

my favourite of the new announcements would have to be this so far.

[Mizmazzle]

@louisbosco agreed!! With that blue lume!! Gorgeous.

[louisbosco]

something about the jubilee bracelet just absolutely changes how this looks

[Graeme]

Are you going to (attempt to) get one @louisbosco?

[Mr Linz]

@Mizmazzle I did! Pretty amazing releases this year from Rolex. I've gotten so used to it being underwhelming... I've previously tried on the 39mm version and found it to be a touch to big for my wrist (6.75 inch) so I'm very happy with the classic 36mm size. But it's a great option for those with much larger wrists or someone who likes a bigger watch. Often the 39mm/40mm Rolex's wear a lot bigger than your average watch of the same size in my opinion. Having said that I LOVE the new Yacht Master (never thought I'd find myself be typing those words) if they do that in a 40mm I'd like that a lot. Are you in the market for an Explorer?

[Mizmazzle]

@Mr-Linz funny you should say that about the yacht mater. I think the new one looks pretty cool. I’m not a fan personally of titanium. I like my watches to have some heft. I am, however, in love with the blue dial red handed yacht master 40. I think that one is absolutely stunning.

[JDelage]

If I recall correctly, @Giles wanted a pink watch. This might do the trick....

@Graeme I could sell a kidney and still be attempting.

That Jacob & Co. really fits nicely on the wrist and for $20 million seems like such a bargain. /s

[Crease]

Felt like being fancy today

[Mizmazzle]

@Anesthetist hey buddy. Happened into my local AD to pick up my wedding band yesterday. They had an Explorer 39. Could be love!!! Think I’d really like that extra 1mm haha.

[Autorotate]

@Mizmazzle Do it!!!

@Crease that Rolex is amazing. Is the inner ring/disc a GMT feature?

It’s a SkyDweller - believe that is a GMT feature, so second zone is showing 18.15ish based on the red triangle at the top.

It also has an annual calendar feature - there’s a red marker at the outer edge of the number 3 masked by the date window (cyclops), showing the month - so 29th March.

I was discussing these with the dealer today - due to the above features it has several hundred parts (twice as many as the Submariner Date I was trying), and thick with it.

Current waiting times is in years, assuming you can get on a list (dealer estimated up to 7 years for the new Daytonas!).

Damned nice watch though @Crease

[JDelage]

The SkyDweller is also one of the only watch to use the bezel as a setting mechanism IIRC.

[Mizmazzle]

@Crease holy fuck balls!! That thing is some fine engineering!!

[Anesthetist]

@Mizmazzle funny how small the Exp is next to the IWC

Are you gonna cop the 39?

I believe IWC has a watch that does something similar.
