Watches - another OCD problem

[Giles]

Honestly folks @chris is a really nice guy, and not at all geeky, no definitely not, no way…..

Chris nailed it….. Nerd!

Sticking with the multi colour watch theme, here are two more offerings.

A new Sinn limited edition just released at Basel

And a new version of the Zenith Rainbow flyback

I owned the original Rainbow flyback a few years ago now.  I quite like the updated version but probably would not buy it.  Your tastes definitely change as you get older.

I like the Sinn's combination of a red strap with a black case. The Breitling B55 riffed on the same combination, and Bell and Ross had a few pieces out last year.

If anyone wants to trawl through the Best Of lists for Basel, there are a number of them up now.

And a list of the five boldest Dive Watches.

Personally, I like the robot!

Another contribution to the multicoloured lume thread, this time courtesy of the Sarpaneva Korona K0 Northern Lights.

There are hands on at aBlogToWatch and Monochrome Watches.

Some really great watches in those articles.  The GO is really lovely; I've always had a weakness for the jumbo date, and I think 6 o'clock is the perfect location for a date window.

But that Sarpeneva is the true standout.  I love the overall unique, but not over-the-top weird, design and especially the face moon phase complication.  And solid, formed and machined luminant is, in my opinion, a more noteworthy development than virtually anything else in the watch world.  I really, really want one.

Limited edition Sinn Military Type III intended for the Japanese market!

[Snowy]

Unintentional IWC shot from Mrs Snowy. Still love this watch very very much!

[grandmasterben]

Super nice…what's the shirt?

[Snowy]

@grandmasterben it's my 3rd attempt @ a FH Western Denim; 7002 40W (I've had 42W, 42WR previously. Been at least a year trying to sort this)

[grandmasterben]

Lol… It looks good. Is this one a keeper?

[Snowy]

It's not IH33, that's for sure. Slowly wearing to figure out. The whole tapered waist thing may do my head in.

[Graeme]

It's a lovely watch @Snowy. And you picked it up at a good time.

I like the Flat Head fit, but it is weird. I'm just gutted that most of their shirts don't come up big enough for me.

[Snowy]

@Graeme:

It's a lovely watch @Snowy. And you picked it up at a good time.

Did very well on the timing there, thanks for the nudge. Between AUD dropping and the Franc going sky high, no way could I buy it now!

[Giles]

Back with a new movement…

Surplus to requirements if anyone is interested…..

[Graeme]

I'm looking at offloading my Breitling too at the minute. Seems to be a trend there.

(If anyone's interested it's an Avenger Seawolf in titanium.)

Waiting to hear back from Watches of Knightsbridge. They've got a sale coming up in June or July, so might enter it for that.

I seem to have been responsible for nudging both @Snowy and @ddtrash in the direction of new purchases. That probably makes me a worse influence than @Giles, or at least a more expensive one. Still not got myself a new piece yet, though!

@Graeme

Well we're here to help however we can

[Flash]

love this watch , was concidering saving for a tudor sub but since i only really wear a watch on the weekends ( would be ruined in work ) im backing away from the idea

[irishexpat]

First automatic is showing up on Wednesday - a Seiko SKX-007. I'm pretty pumped.
