The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Matt]

I bought this set for the yellow but the red is pretty great too…

G-Shock (what else) X Gorillaz collab GA-2000…

My trusty Tudor.

I'm honestly not sure which of the two watch threads I'm supposed to be posting in. This is definitely a luxury watch, but not a very expensive one, relatively speaking. I guess that makes it appropriate for this thread as I suppose it is "less intimidating." I don't know. But I effing love this watch. My beloved Tudor Black Bay 58.

It’s lovely.

@Matt:

It’s lovely.

Thanks! It has an impressive list of specs in addition to its good looks which makes it my perfect watch.

Tudor have just announced a new version of their Ranger. The old one used an ETA movement, but this new one shares its workings with the Black Bay 58. It's been downsized slightly to 39 mm.

Prices start at around 2600 Swiss Francs or Euros, and I'd guess they'll be a similar figure in US Dollars.

More details at Monochrome.

I like that!

I already have an Explorer but I still wouldnt mind a Ranger.

Nice little field watch.

[JDelage]

NWA. I've been wanting a field watch for a while and this one is close to perfect: hardened steel case & bracelet, super legible dial, no date, WR 200m, 40mm, thin, etc. I used to have the Damasko DSub1, but I sold it because it was fairly thick with a completely flat case side, and it didn't do well with long sleeves. This one shouldn't be a problem and the dial design is much nicer.

The craziest shit just happened.  I was eating dinner with my wife and out of the blue she was like “You know what?  I REALLY like that watch.  I think it every time you wear it.  I’m glad you got it.”  She didn’t even ask where or when I got it or how much it cost.

Seriously.  I’m not at all sure what to do with this.

Just sit back and enjoy it…

What on earth is she after?

@Matt That great feeling will last longer than a new Iron Heart purchase, and that's rare air.

@Giles:

uh huh.  ???
maybe a fever brought on by some revolting desert creature…
either way it sounds expensive.

Jason Momoa and the IH party??

[Matt]

I’m pretty sure it’s code and she wants me to buy some UHRs.  I’ll be right back…
