The rare and obscure automatic, titanium version of the Longines Oposition.

+1, but finding a titanium Longines Opposition is almost impossible.

Still the Vacheron Overseas Chrono.

I might have to at some point...

What about your JLC grail? It might feel unloved if you start eyeing up other women

I'd imagine everyone is sick of hearing about it

Always others... Dead keen on a bracelet IWC Doppelchronograph as well

IWC Aquatimer in red gold

after 6 months of ebaying junk I now have the funds to get the breitling seawolf I've been after for years, but I can't decide on the colour now. Be brave with yellow, but will I regret it one day, safe with black or grey, the colour I first fell for. Plus now the seawolf 2 is soon to be available in the same (similar) colours, so 6 to choose from... The favourite 3:

Yellow looks 'right'.
Grey looks ste.
Black looks contrived - dive watches should be _easy to read_.

So yellow, or forget it.

I didn't expect grey and black to get such a pasting so early on!
Yellow has grown on me over the months after intially thinking I could never be that brave. It's such an iconic brieting colour and suits the big bold case. But would I regret it in a few years time, would it lack versatility... but it's so nice.. I should play safe with grey... or black...
Nice problem to have I suppose.

Nice! My watch is very similar to this...

Yeah, but I imagine it on the wrist and then I'm not sure....

Looks stunning in pics though, a bit like a very posh Radiomir

You could be right, but It looks pretty special to me:

^ being worn incorrectly on the outside of the wrist, as I suspect almost all wearers do/would/will, but still.

I didn't know that! I'm afraid I'd wear it on the outside too, it'd seem too weird otherwise

Got to have a play with this earlier this week at the VC boutique on Bond Street.



I don't think a mere kidney will suffice; how much do lungs/livers/other vital organs go for these days?

I'm not a fan of either rose gold or weird shapes. I have this rule that a watch face should be round with the hands in the middle, and shouldn't be pink

I don't think you can beat that purity even in such a complicated (sic) watch as this nice looking Longines:

Unusual but very nice one to obsess over. Civilian or IDF?

Had a look at one in WofS the other day. For the quality of that watch, the price is frankly astonishing. A genuine bargain
