What watch has grabbed your attention today?

[Brads67]

Orient Bambino for under £100 on creation.

I need to buy one of those one day. Pretty as hell.

I think these ceramic black, skeleton watches look superb! I can't afford it, but they are more affordable that I thought they would be. Some links to the watch and its various iterations.

Likey?

I'm not so keen on the skeletonised version, but the Octo Finissimo is one of my absolute favourite watches:



Bvlgari still seem like a criminally underrated watch maker to me

Ooh nice.

Tissot rep has told me only 25 Heritage 1973's are coming to the UK... I find that hard to believe.

Saw it in Good Omens, it's so steampunk and far removed from any other watches I can think of. If only they weren't around 10k plus...

I'll just leave this here...

Liking the accuratit model

[london_v]

I’m really digging the open work zeniths. Hoping to try on these beauties next week (defy skeleton and el Primero full open)

[bazza.]

I really fancy one of these little beauties

[Wills2]

The new line of Cartier Santos, especially the one with the sunburst blue dial they have a quick release strap and come with 2 straps.

Cartier quick release leather straps have a terrible longevity.

The leather splits where the quick release mechanism is embedded (glued) inside the strap. Cartier's own website used to carry an FAQ in which the question "How long should my leather strap last?" was answered "About six months."

Not good enough for a strap costing around £400 IMHO.

I tried this on in Copenhagen the other week - never been a huge Santos fan but I must admit it wore really well, and the blue dial is really nice

The screws not being aligned would make my teeth itch...

2 new Grand Seiko, details not yet released. Am waiting for more detail from the AD before pulling the trigger on one.

I like this a lot.... but can't handle any more watches.

[Tjb1010]

The hublot orlinski collection really caught my eye. I found the titanium cases black dial on a rubber strap to be the most appealing. There is one on display in harrods, in person it’s a real attention grabber

[HM-2]

Shame its 45mm though.
Still can't decide if I prefer the original Rainbow Flyback aesthetically.

There are a couple of used ones around the 7-8k mark on chrono24. Many new over 10k, but worth a look if the used prices were more to your taste
