    Nice. :beer:
    Thats a great watch. Its amazing how much cheaper they are compared to the Rolex.

    Marketing. More than just pretty people talking in circles.

    It was just before omega pushed hard in China and prices and demand went insane.

    I swung for the fence with the FP Journe that I put on my list, but the Chronometre Bleu is probably more realistic. I bet I eventually have an FP of some sort.

    Chronometre Bleu is my Grail. Second is something in the Lange 1815 range.

    I have an 1815 annual calendar that I still can't believe I get to own.

    New watch inbound.....after selling my Hamilton chrono I have zero hammys. That is an unacceptable number. This was on sale thru the AAFES Exchange...free shipping and no sales tax. $472.50 delivered. I couldnt say no.

    Was in the UK last week and came across this clock in Castle Combe's church. Was lucky enough to capture the mechanism in action. Neat to watch it run. Hoping this doesn't get me banned.

    Turns out, there's a racetrack nearby, too. Castle Combe Race Circuit (castlecombecircuit.co.uk)

    Thats pretty sweet. I have no idea yet on what that is worth, but I like the looks of it a lot.

    Crazy thing is, that's not even its good side.

    It was shamefully expensive, but I have it insured so I can enjoy wearing it.

    For some reason that image doesn’t come up on my phone. Will have to look when I get back to the office on a PC.

    GF was in Germany and Switzerland a couple of weeks ago. She managed to snag 4 of the Swatch / Omega planet watches. 1 in Munich -- the last in the store. 3 in Lausanne. They walked into the store an hour before closing and the worker said they were out but expecting a truck that day. She killed 30 minutes, went back and they had received one full set. She was there with her daughter and a friend so managed to get 3. When she left there were people in line to try to get the rest.

    I kept the Moon, she kept Earth and sold Saturn and Jupiter to a pentagon guy who had walked into the Munich store just after her and given her his info.

    White face and I’d be offering up a trade for my “never going to sell it” sub. Just bored with my sub this week and enjoying my 007 more than I should.

    Not that I’m seriously thinking about giving up my white face Exp 2, but which sub do you have?

    Seiko's are so underrated. Not the ones from department stores, but the real ones, especially Grand Seiko. I have these two.
