What are you wearing?!

Dammit - it didn't post and I promptly forgot about it. Mea culpa.

Classy thing.

Ah, an orange faced Doxa - the 'Dirk Pitt' watch?

Casioak for a coffee on the beach.

Weather is here absolute perfect this time of year

I'm amazed that AP haven't trademarked the hexagonal crown.

I really like that. As I have something pricey incoming, I don't need another lust object. I really don't.

[Don1]

Fair shout.

Incoming.... Something I traded to get a grail that I wanted back. Will be here soon.

[Don1]

As I spoke of what was my grail watch, I thought I would wear it today.

[Don1]

At a shade under £20k new, there is no blooming way I would pay that for that watch (ask me about the new grail watch...)

It works off rotors apparently. Solid platinum case IIRC (it's a heavy thing) and a dial you can just get lost in. Beautiful box with it as well.

[Don1]

Today's offering.

Pic of box please.

What's the new watch?

Box on a separate thread. New watch.... I better put that in 'incoming'

[Don1]

That is interesting.

[Don1]

You want unusual, difficult to read when drunk watches? I got you bruv!

Never seen that before! Does it light up?

Nope! Bell & Ross red radar. Limited edition, 999 world wide. Purchased via a certain floppy haired gentleman of good repute on this site.

Inner disk seconds, middle minutes, outer hours. No lume. Based on the 01- case, so a good size.

Only slight quibble is the DLC coating seems to be very soft and thin - you can see wear (from very limited use), at 10 and 4.

[Don1]

About 08:50 - minutes in the middle.

[Don1]

I do have worse....

[Don1]

Noted. I just looked for prices.... holy crap! I do see 01 92 Phantoms coming up for sale - far rarer and and cheaper. IIRC the only watch that hasn't been faked. Chrono24 has one at £2k

[Don1]

Lovely texture to it.

[Don1]

Was. Who knows now...

[Don1]

'kin 'ell. Talk about lifting the level. That's ridiculous.

One hell of a timepiece.

I have barely worn a watch since lockdown, only wearing one when I go out. This year I have only worn a fitness band that my wife bought me for Xmas. Just wearing a watch at home feels a bit odd for me lol.

It's a new year resolution for me. I was exactly the same, but realised I was missing the structure in my day. So, wearing a watch, getting up and walking between video calls (as if I'm going between rooms) and picking up the attempts at exercise.
