Is it a Blake’s 7 tribute of some kind?
I guess the honest answer is D - none of the above, as I won’t be getting any of them. Perhaps the Chopard is the prettiest, but it should be at that price. A good effort from Christopher Ward...
Thought for the day, would you choose:
A - Chopard’s openworked titanium Alpine Eagle ($26,500)
B - Christopher Ward’s skeletonised titanium Twelve X (£4,120), and enough spare change for a decent...
To be fair that is actually an upgraded bracelet to the older ones, with a new clasp that lies totally flat (it’s a little odd that the old ones didn’t really, but it was always presented as a...
Funnily enough it’s taken the new white birch hand wound models on leather, SLGW002 and SLGW003 shown earlier in this thread, to really show the potential of this case. Especially when (arguably...
Good point about that 37mm Defy Revival, very slim wrists for sure, not unlike mine! Still, integrated bracelet watches do wear larger, so ‘Only 42mm’ will probably wear like 44mm.
I know size is relative, but this picture shows why I wish the Zenith Defy was a little more wearable. Imagine how nice it would be if they’d designed it to fit your wrist instead of your hand…

Agreed it’s annoyingly expensive, though their prices make much more sense in Japan - 1,420,000 Yen equates to £7,540. Still plenty, but I’m struggling to see the cheap alternative, from the photos...
Rolex appear to be trying to replace themselves with Tudor this year, so they can concentrate on monstrosities like the 44mm gold Deepsea, arguably the world’s most pointless watch, and other...
The new Timex Moon Phase Multi-function made me smile, cheap as chips, along with a salmon dial chronograph and a few others. From across the room after a negroni I’d assume vintage JLC.

Grand Seiko have done something rather amazing, by releasing a 62GS case in 38mm (and titanium) instead of the usual 40mm. To me it seems amazing anyway, as the 40mm case has always worn slightly too...
I suspect that for the vast majority it would make no difference if it has a 600m rating, or a 300m rating like a sub, or enough to survive the deep end of the pool at the hotel. I’d take a slimmer...
Wow, GS are finally offering a Snowflake dial with a 9F movement. The bad news is that it’s a whopping £3700. I’m a huge fan of the 9F and own two (plus one I’m getting round to selling). But its...
Rather tempting, minimal, classic and contemporary at the same time. The gold indices make it just interesting enough.

Hodinkee brings us the famous Longines Explorer II!

That’s a good suggestion, though I ordered a Meyhoffer Zermatt for the moment as it’s not about to go diving - and yes it’s 20mm. The strap is definitely the weak link, though surprisingly there was...
Yes I did, so will add some pics and first impressions to the incoming thread, but not before an improved strap arrives in the post. The dial is very nicely done and I like the proportions. The...
Needs more camouflage ;-)
Probably a bit closer to this one, 4522-7010?

I agree that does stand out, given that they managed to cram three lines of wider text at the 12 side, where it looks a touch cramped. Nonetheless not a deal breaker at that price, especially with a...

+1 would be interesting to hear from an owner on the forum and see a picture or two, I...
I rather like the look of this aventurine dialled CW C63 Celeste, baby brother to the aventurine moonphase. A simple enough watch apart from the oversized hour hand, but it will be extremely sparkly...
Damn, love this dial! Case shape is a ringer for a vintage IWC Yacht Club, and probably a few other watches too. 39mm and far from expensive, with a diving model too, but this one is the real looker....
If you have a spare £20k burning a hole in your pocket, VC have added this ‘Les Collectioneurs’ revival. It certainly isn’t shy about the logo - something only VC could make look elegant, imagine...
