Re: New Bright Star 155S

I like the look, but like with most chronographs I’m sure I wouldn’t like wearing it.

Re: What are you buying?

Christopher Ward C65 Dartmouth Series 2 caught my eye recently, so I'd probably go with that. https://www.christopherward.com/dw/image/v2/BDWD_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-cw-master-catalog/default/dw6ce985aa/images/WATCHES/C65-41A3H3-S0BB0-B0/C65-41A3H3-S0BB0-B0_Picture_2.jpg?sw=2000&sh=2000 h...

New GMT collaboration from Nodus & Raven

First thing I thought of was Graeme’s Mileata line.

It’s 39.5 so not terrible. They did the right stuff with the drilled lugs and adjustable clasp. My only negative is the GMT hand could be a little more subtle.

I’d probably wear this.

Re: AD Visit

Nice to experience the attempted sale once again.

My local AD only has the non-working display models, but it was handy and helped me push off the Explorer 40.

This one just returned from Watchmann, having received a new crystal with inside only AR. Much better.

Re: New Seiko Thread

^ I’m not excited about those.

I think Seiko should have a basic looking piece like these, but with the new 6L movement. Charge $1500 +/- and it would be a nice daily diver.

I wish they would do black hardware versions of their NATO
These "Mil Series" straps have black hardware.
Yes, thanks. I do have some but had asked Mike @ CC to do regular natos with black hardware too.

Very cool Mike. Back around ‘78 I worked with a guy who wore one of those. Always wanted one. Congrats!

Re: White Speedmaster

I like this white Soeedy, but don’t know understand why Omega can’t give us a basic 3-hand model with this color combo. How about enamel white dial Railmaster with black markers & hands, tapered bracelet, 150m water resistance, and adjustable clasp?
