    I was in NYC last weekend and stopped at all the watch boutiques which was a lot more enjoyable and exceeded what expectations I had. Looks like I’ll have my first and very probable only NATO strapped watch added to the collection. Should be here Monday

    Thank you for reminding me, don’t think I ever posted this. Allegedly this is a Japanese import, like the booklet included only had Japanese in it.

    I have a variant of this, with a blue back light, that is also a Japanese model. Probably my most worn watch

    Now I have to find a G shock.

    I’m a golf pro, we started our junior after school clinics today and a little 8 year old was rocking the white John Mayer collab.

    I really like that one, just don’t know if I want a white one. Ideally I need one that’s gray.

    I will not be spending 700 on a g shock. I’ll have to find a different model since this is just a toy.

    I wholeheartedly agree. That said, I will eventually grab the gray John Mayor-Hodinkee collaboration, but that’s only to complete the set, as I have the other 2

    I ended up finding a cheapish White John Mayer Hodinkee Casio on reddit for 200 shipped so I pulled the trigger.

    Step in the right directions for dimensions, but they won’t be able to get smaller than this 42mm version without switching to a different movement.

    At that point it almost feels like making the air cooled 911 a liquid cooled power plant.

    Also, why titanium?

    I’m super happy about this. They’ve only offered 42mm in Limited pieces prior. You should just say “please & thank you Blancpain” for accommodating your bitch-wrist. I know I am.

    IIRC they’ve done 40mm versions before (Hodinkee milspec) so I think they can manage a smaller movement

    there was a time that i thought the sky dweller was the single ugliest watch ever made

    now? i would never spend money on it but i'd definitely wear it if i had one

    i wonder how my tastes will evolve and what changed my mind on the SD

    Saw Teddy include this in one of his lists. $240 for the ti quartz (not sure about the SS pricing.)

    That’s a dope starter or travel watch.

    I’ve seen their ads saying they’re a competitor of chronom24 but never heard of anyone doing business with them.
