Let's talk about watches...

I've been admiring this Tudor BB Heritage for some time and finally pulled the trigger. Love the burgundy bezel and the gilt gold on the dial and hands.

Cartier watch values have increased well over the last year or so.  That's a Santos, no?

Absolutely love the Ballon Bleu! Thinking about getting one this year!

A friend of mine is hot for that one too.  There's a Cartier building in Switzerland that looks really cool.  You can see from the highway with mirrored glass and their logo all over it.

Love the Tudor Black Bay series. Here's my San Martin homage. At 200 USD, I consider it a great value for what it is. 

To all the homage haters out there all I can say is, I don't hate them.

My current favorite watch (this week...) the GS SBGP017.

For my taste, it’s a very attractive dial and I love the moderate diameter. It’s still a bit too much overall weight & chunkiness for me, but that’s a very personal thing. Lovely modern watches though, if they were just slightly less tall I’d probably go for it.

Beautiful. Really classy, and a great piece of engineering.

Omega Spacemaster Z-33...plus a little dust on the crystal.

Bulova Classic Chronograph. I love this watch.

[bwgan]

As an omega lover, that Space master is awesome! I'd love one 

My latest addition is still in Biele, been there since October and wont be back with me until September....11 months is crazy, but it took me 5 years to find one so it's worth the wait

You SOB!  😃 That is the watch I am hot for with a bracelet!  How do you like it?  It's a tall case.  I had the X33 for several years and recently sold it.  Omega's grade 5 titanium watches are really something!

I was in Biel last week and tried to get a photo of the new Swatch snake building (same plot as Omega), but drove by too quick.

That's not dust... those are stars.

I really like it. It's a VERY tall case, like a little space ship on your wrist. I'd like it on the bracelet, too, but I got this one used for such a good price it was almost ridiculous. You'll bump it on things, for sure, but who cares? It's retro future fabulous.

Does it have dual batteries and movements like the X33?

I don't think so, no.

Have you had to change the battery yet?

Nope, and it's been years

Wanted this ever since it was announced at W&W last year because I am a lefty who wears watches on my right wrist. A GMT-II made for me. 126720VTNR-0001

You're wearing it on the your right arm though no?

Rolex is now all in on Titanium watches with more models being added to the line up.  Also doing more models with display back for 2023.

Love that you were able to get one! My father was obsessed with this watch (he is also left-handed) and I was able to get him an allocation last year! Quite the triumph 👍

A left handed watch is meant to be worn on your right hand because the crown is located on the left for your dominant. Exactly the same reasoning why a right handed watch is worn on the left. 👌

Have this Hamilton H3 on my workbench today! Any other aspiring watchmakers here? I have a dream to do this full time but that may be a few years out
