I'll see you... on the Dark Side... of the Sunday Speedmaster.

I can't imagine spending $500K on a wristwatch - even if I could easily afford to do so. Not when a great watch can be had for under $10K, with little advantage to watches above that price point...

Yes yes... It may be 7:07 on Wednesday but I've been wearing it since Tuesday.

Yes - the labeling indicates that to be correct.

Not sure about the quad winder - but the dual winder uses a 3.3Vdc 2-amp power adapter.

Grand Seiko's SBGE257 may appear black or near-black under typical interior lighting. The green dial and bezel really show when viewing under natural lighting (or partially natural, as in this...

The 9039 is a 9015 without the date wheel. A good, reliable movement that could be considered Japan's equivalent to the ETA 2824.

I prefer watches that have no date display interrupting the dial.

A new arrival from Singapore and on the wrist for maybe 30 minutes. Teal dial, titanium case, and titanium bracelet (which looks almost blackium in this lighting).

Finding proper-sized boxes can be very difficult (sadly) for a private seller. E.g. try finding a properly-sized outer box to fit around an Alden, Trickers, or other "nice" brand shoe box. There's...

The Omega is more interesting than the car... (which was not in motion - I want to live!)...

Quartz qualifies as haute horology for me. If it is an improvement in the area of accurate time tracking then it's "haute." And Citizen does seem to be ahead of Seiko in this area. Though (Grand)...

The 6084 is usually described as 34mm. But I think 33mm is more accurate. Not wearing today but from a previous WRUW:

44mm? 34mm? Whatever. I prefer 35 - 40mm. Lower half of the...

Perhaps I should have said "for a long while!" But if I can sell a few then maybe a R**** Explorer II would be a nice addition. 'Twould be the first Rolerball other than an ~70-year old Oyster...

Definitely no more new (or used) watches for a while...

There's exactly one good thing about having a small wrist. I can wear nice pieces like this 70-year old 23 x 36mm US-made Lord Elgin.

I own a few Omegas. A vintage Rolex bubbleback. A Tudor. A pair of Grand Seikos. And a few microbrands. But that doesn't stop a a simple Casio from being enjoyable too from time to time.

The white-dialed version is sold out but the equally-great black dial model is still available. Probably not for long. it's very much a vintage-styled watch other than the upsizing. A 2602-powered...

Just arrived today from Poljot24.de - the Poljot Interational Pobeda 2602w. With new old stock manual-wind ZIM 2602 movement from 1958. Nicely sized at 38mm. The stock leather strap was too long...

Don't forget The Vicar of Dibley. "No, no, no, no... Yes!"

Great show! Rowan Atkinson at his best.

The weekend watch. Just in time for warmer weather.

My most recent acquisition is an Omega Planet Ocean. This is the 37.5mm ladies/unisex (ha!) model. It's a nice fit in spite of the 15+mm thickness.

Feel free to have a Ball. Or several! But I agree that a green or white/cream dial would be nice.

They do make nice watches.

Don't worry... I have a real watch (Grand Seiko) on the primary watch-wearing wrist. But picked up a Timex R300 "smart(ish)watch" recently to try as a replacement for the Fitbit band on the other...
