Wish he woulda spilled the beans on the watches that leaked [emoji51] I know the JLC Polaris was certainly one of them...
Really great stuff though.

Then I shared the price with her.

Always round down to the nearest $10,000... then divide that number by 50% before sharing.

FF is a great watch, but in SS, it's uncomfortably heavy on the bracelet IMO. Did they make a bracelet for the Ti version?

Agree, it's definitely too heavy in SS, but that image is actually of the new ti bracelet with the three-hander.

There’s no such thing as an exit watch. Ask me why... I mean, I think a lot of guys get attached to the concept as something so unattainable that there's nowhere else to go. For me, it's definitely something that hurts a little, but at the same time, something that'll just keep me from reaching for...

I'm afraid to ask, but what does "WGMATATS" stand for?

Go big or go home - all for $139 USD https://bestwallclock.com/product/rolex-wall-clock-gmt-master-ii-pepsi-style-rl11-free-shipping/ https://bestwallclock.com/shop/rolex/ https://media.fotki.com/2v2Hik5J8xAqZad.jpg Why not get the real thing for a mere 3.5 HTCs? https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/role...

My favorite meme to come out of all this is how the Hodinkee Travel Clock (or HTC) is now a monetary unit of measurement. Ie: that new blue-dialed Glashutte Original SeaQ costs 1.72 HTCs.

The comments on IG on the non-clock posts are literally the best shit I’ve seen all year. Chuffed to bits with this one.

Dang, that's pretty nice. Well done!

I love the look too, but ceramic scares me. I wish it were DLC titanium. I’ve had my Bathy Ceramic for over 3 years. No issues. I’m usually more worried about any coating DLC/PVD etc, they all scratch, wear, and scuff. Of course it depends on what you do while wearing a watch but for daily desk div...

Copped one a couple weeks ago, and then coincidentally got 'the call' for a Blancpain. Gonna be a catch-and-release, but I'll be damned if it's not extremely cool. Just listed on WUS, but would be rad to keep it in the fam if anyone's game.

dinexus

So good, but I really wish they'd have done it in grey ceramic or titanium or something other than black. My next watch is gonna be a Blancpain, wish it coulda been this one.

How big does the 42mm case wear? Here it is on my 6.5" wrist. Wears wide, but it has a short L2L. https://i.imgur.com/doHONCnl.jpg Initially I wanted this reference, but now I really want one of the new full-lume options. Have always really liked these guys, but yeah – they get kinda crucified by t...

Oris, I love you guys, but this thing is whack.

(Would love to see this gold-plated dial in a proper bico Diver 65 tho...)

I enjoyed that Zach! I have the same brass beast of a pen too...
Works better as a prop than a writing instrument, but I sure enjoy how it feels in the hand.

Thanks fellas!

Shameless self-promotion, but I wrote a story about my time in lockdown and how I only wore one watch the whole time. Shame it wasn't a diver... Maybe for the next quarantine? ;) https://www.ablogtowatch.com/one-watch-quarantine-pandemic-jaeger-lecoultre-geophysic/ https://www.ablogtowatch.com/wp-c...
