Watches - another OCD problem

I know @Anesthetist. I really like it too as a "beater"!
Now I just need to find $20K down the back of my sofa.

That´s my "Daily Rocker" too. Great watch!

So, I´m thinking about this:
Do or don´t?

The blacked out arm? Seems like a terrible idea.
Can't see the watch well enough to tell if it's a good idea.

Me too mate. Best price I've seen for it is $6,000. My wife told me I could get it but I would have to wait 3 years to buy any more IH gear....I love IH too much and had to pass

A few of the pieces that were released at Baselworld and SIHH this year have started to turn up in shops. Amongst them is the Bulgari Octo Finissimo, which is the slimmest automatic watch on the market. I saw it on Hodinkee a few months back, liked it, and it's even better in the metal. It weighs nothing, even on the bracelet.
I heard that the Montblanc bronze chronograph was in stock, but they dealer only had the gold version. It's a nice piece, but I was a touch underwhelmed, and would go for the Panerai Mare Nostrum which uses a similar movement.
The one downside of the Panerai is that it's got a solid caseback, which hides this.
Iron Heart forum exclusive: Montblanc are bringing out the TimeWalker Pythagore Ultra Light in October. It's currently under press embargo, but it's being produced as a limited edition of 18 (I think) for $100K Australian. They built a concept last year, and it looks like a tweaked version of that.
When I was in town earlier this week, I spotted a Panerai PAM00687, which has a gorgeous sunburst dial. It's the watch on the left. I'm not normally a fan of the brand, except for the Mare Nostrum and Lab ID, but I'll make another exception for this one.
Also, the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Chronograph. It's got a bronze case, with the El Primero movement. I like the combination, though it's a bit over styled. According to aBlogToWatch, it's also cheaper than their bog standard El Primero.

Barely 5mm thick and titanium? That has to be crazy lightweight. And the more I look at it, the better it gets.
The movement on that Mont Blanc is lovely. Too bad the front of the watch is so much less so.
