Timing sourdough with my bezel! I can finally throw my phone away!

Also bought an "Oysterflex" style strap for it. This is probably my favourite style of rubber strap.



Lume on this thing is fucking insane btw. Brighter than my Laco which uses Super LumiNova. Only the markers though - the hands and bezel are normal, but the markers glow during the day sometimes they're so bright, and last a long time.



(it looks like there are extra markers because they're reflecting off the crystal edge into the camera)

New monochrome Black Bay



And greyscale GMT



New Rolex DeepSea in gold looks like an Invicta



Zenith diver... check out the date! At 37mm with that gigantic bezel, it must be really tiny.. It's 15mm thick too.. I'd love to see this weird thing in person

The grayscale GMT looks really nice.

I love the new 1908, the brown band with green backing and that ice blue... wow it's so beautiful. Price is mental though, I think it's like 30,000 CHF? And I feel like it saying "Superlative Chronometer" is kinda cheesy almost like bad English on a knockoff hahaha: https://www.rolex.com/watches/new-watches/1908

Yeah the 1908 is really nice, I'm just not into super decorative fancypants watches and just shared the ones I like

Rice grain pattern dial, check
Sunburst pattern dial (on the small seconds), check
Highly polished bezel, check
Breguet hands, check
Applied numerals, check
Faceted indices, check
Coin bezel, check
Rail track seconds, check
Display caseback on a Rolex (!) check
Superlative Chronometer, check

This watch has it ALL. Literally (except lume)

New Laco chronograph

Looks pretty typical, but that sandblasted stainless steel case, day date, 60 minute bezel

How about this Parmigiani with gold case, gold hands, gold dial, AND gold movement





BTW. You can only wear these if you dress like this guy

Man that Parm looks tacky to me... or gives off women's watch vibes.

I love that Laco you posted up there!

It is, but it would be hard to find a watch that uses more gold percentage-wise!

That's just your subconscious desire for a gold Corolla with gold badges and you're projecting it onto watch ownership

Looks a lot like the new Batman Rolex releases, very nice. Cyan and Dark Grey are a thing right now.

This Timex chrono looks really cool! It's flyback too

Fan shaped subdials are interesting. It has two seconds hands - one main seconds, and one for the chronograph. The subdials are minutes and hours. They even stuffed a date window in there. Also it's stainless instead of brass like a lot of the other models

Next time there's a 25% coupon I am grabbing this

I also really like this one from Hemel. It uses the Seagull movement, but they should offer support if needed. Apparently they got a lot better, as they used to have a 10-15% failure rate, which is absolutely insane. That is fine for AliExpress watches, but not someone trying to make a brand. You can have the manufacturer test them as part of the order, which adds cost but brings the fail rate down to 2-4%, which is normal

I really like the big minutes subdial. $500 though

eruhh so i LOVE, absolutely LOVE my timex waterbury coin bezel watch.... but it has developed some quality issues.

1) the second dial (middle one) for the chrono timer is now resting at the 58/59 second mark instead of stirahgt up at the 60. Its bugging the shit out of me



2) The hour hand proceeds past the next indicator even though the minute hand isn't full on the hour yet. so in this example, its supposed to be 6:56 but the hour hand is already past 7:00


just beware if you are buying a timex... quality not so good. My old Weekender is a lot better than this.
I could send it in for warranty work but i dont know if its worth the time (lawl). its just a cheapie timex.

That bottom subdial isn't the running seconds hand?

That's a weird design, but since it's the chrono seconds, it might be adjustable. Check the manual

The other one yeah you'll need to remove the hands and put them back on properly (unless it's a different weird problem)

I'd send it back... I wouldn't be able to wear it like that anyway lol

If there's a such thing as a "grail watch" for me, this might be it.
