That new Omega is14.7mm thick. That's a non starter.

Yes, the regular Promenade is 18k CHF.

So, Fratello & Czapek are releasing a new collaboration, the Promenade, with a semi transparent green dial. It's €32k, so massively overpriced IMHO, but is interesting because it shows some of the movement. I've always thought Capek's movement is the most interesting part of their watches, so it's nice to be able to see it on the face side.

@kkibbey23 - The Sky Dweller is an amazing watch. It may be the best traveller's GMT ever made, and it demonstrates how innovative Rolex can be. As far as I know, the least precious model variation is steel & gold. There's no plain steel model.

I love the LF Sport Auto...

I saw that. Not an ugly watch. Not cheap either.

Here are a few videos I took with my iPhone15 Pro Max inside the Divevolk. Those are just processed using the iPhone's on board processing:

I have one of those Gilles. It worked very well for me in the Philippines. That channel has good videos on using the Divevolk:

I like Fears a lot. They have an excellent eye for design.

THAT: I have one of those small manual wound GS, and I love it to bits. It's fun to wind every morning, it's beautiful and clean, with no text or subdials, and you can wear it up or down. As a side note, GS sells a super fancy bead of rice bracelet that fits them beautifully. That one has a nice dial too.

I had a spring drive; it did nothing for me. I realize it is a very innovative movement, but it's just not that interesting to me (although the dial of that 3rd GS is lovely).

Edit: that's the bead of rice bracelet (on yet another version of the 37mm manual watch). It can be hard to find at times, and it's not cheap.

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

Look at that, sunglasses with my name!

They should just make more Nautilus. It simply is a nicer, more refined watch.

That First Omega in Space Speedmaster looks lovely. I like the alpha hands and the dial color.

@mclaincausey Yes, that small second Streamliner is a beauty. I also like the mini rotor movement a lot. Oh well... I do like the green better than the blue.

Thank you Giles! That was kinda in jest. The lottery is on Oct 3 and requires a Japanese issued CC. Oh well, plenty of watch fish in the watch sea.

So, Otsuka has a lottery for one of their amazing watches but unfortunately it's only for people with a Japanese address & CC... Boohoo...

Anyone in Japan wants to be my proxy?

Made caramel corn this mornig. Will be an accompaniement for popcorn icecream I’m making for a dinner tomorrow.

Chicken broth freezes perfectly. We keep the bones of every chicken we roast and when we have 2 or 3 chicken worth of bones we make broth and freeze it in 2-cup sized molds. Super convenient (if you have the freezer space for that.)

This is what I had yesterday night. Homemade Vietnamese style banh mi sandwich, with chicken. Was delish!

Reg. Shogun, the book is also very good (the other Clavell book are good too, fwiw). Excellent beach reading...
