The Dive Watch Connection

Congrats. I personally like this iteration better than the one with the pano date.

That day date window is such an eye sore.

+1

It's so far left that it's almost hitting the center post. Maybe they should have just gone with the date and omitted the day indicator.

This was a good one too. Very cool to see how much handwork goes into JLC watches.

Nice pickup Mike. You might find this informative, if you haven't already seen it...

Congrats. That's my favorite Sinn in the current catalog.

Looking forward to seeing what's coming. I've been itching for something new and haven't owned a Sinn for a long time.

Went to try the Carrera LE 60th. The dial and dome are well done, looks very cool. But it just wore small and didn’t feel like a 7-8k watch as good as it looks on pics. For me I’d want a 41mm case and 6k price point. So I passed. Here's an alternative for you - the just-announced VC Overseas Chrono...

I think it looks really good on you

Why does a company like that need so many employees?

Apparently it doesn't

I had no idea they were that big. :shock: Me neither. But this was the most surprising part of the article for me: The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 with a blue dial has fallen 35 percent to roughly $103,000 (£84,000), while the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with a blue dial decreased by 29 percent to a...

Due to falling pre-owned watch prices...

Love it.

I just saw the chronograph, and for my taste, that's the clear winner in the lineup. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2930/0774/products/glashutte-original-seaq-chronograph-bracelet-topper_540x.png?v=1664404855 I like it, but too far removed from the original for my taste. It is nice to see GO wit...

The Pano date is very cool and a differentiator vs my current collection too.

I love the GO Pano date, I have it on my Senator Observer. But the position of it on the SeaQ looks odd to my eye.

One thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is the large arrow on the end of the minute hand. Seems disproportionately large and I wonder how I’d feel about it long term. It's a pretty good facsimile of the original (on the left). I like it, but it might be an acquired taste. https://static.fr...

I love the brand as well and still own my Senator Observer. The SeaQ has been on my radar for a while, but I'd probably go with the variation below as I don't love the panorama date at the 4:30 location. https://hodinkee.imgix.net/shop/images/c56de660-09ca-457b-aa46-118ad72eddcc/1-39-11-06-80-06__Se...

Merry Christmas DWC!

NWA Picked this beauty up from the AD last night. IWC Portugieser IW371620 on the OEM IWC rubber strap. I Always loved the Portugieser line up but they always seemed a bit dressy for me and it never was the right time. This one strikes the right balance, with the blue subdials & font as well as the...

I haven't bought or sold anything in the past couple of years, but I've got the itch again. Maybe something new in 2023... I wish I had your self control or discipline or whatever you have that makes you do that. Not sure I really have either, I've just been spending my discretionary income on othe...
