Watches - another OCD problem

[hectic]

Watch freaks are a weird breed, they really get off on the pure mechanistic qualities of an auto. I think that the there is a feeling that coupling a low cost quartz movement with a high end brand has a demeaning effect. Notwithstanding that the average auto movement in mid-high range watches is a generic ETA movement that probably costs $100.

Quartz makes a lot of sense, from an accuracy POV, and also from a pick up and go - i.e.: you wont need to wind it.

I'm not a snob about it, just thought it was worth a mention.

Cool, how about a wrist shot?

Yay, awesome! That's an older model than mine I think, I think I prefer it with the exposed titanium. Have you seen the latest incarnation:

That is a nice looking watch!

Yeah, I fondled it at the G-Shock store in London the other day, it is nice but it is also 500 quid.

Raymond Weil 'Tradition Date 5476' ltd. blue dial.

Elaborate scheme to evade 2-300 € import fee tax… "Heeeyyy it's a birthday gift!.."

And here I was thinking they don't make cases as nice as they used to…

Kameleon like blue/ black dial

Thats pretty nice Seul, good pick up. Is that 44mm case?

[Seul]

42mm.

Nice watch Seul, I do like black faced watches.
Should be picking up my new watch on Sunday, pictures when I do.

It's blue, actually… hard to see in the pics... I went for blue cause it goes well with my Sebenza knife and indigo jeans

Glad you like it.  It's a lovely, classically simple watch, and I do love the jumbo date window.  That's my biggest peeve with my current watch- no date.  And a mineral crystal that I've scratched all to hell, but that's a different issue.

Tripleterror- you have a Panerai?  Which one?  And I'm curious what you're getting to take its place; must be something special.

[Tripleterror]

Hey Guys
The Panerai is safe, I'm just adding to my small collection, and it is small!
It's a PAM111, 'F' series
I'm getting an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, 45.5mm case with rubber strap.
I'll post pictures when I get it along with some pictures of the others.

Nice choice, Triple, is it the black bezel one?

[Tripleterror]

Indeed it is Hectic !
