F' DW and any fashion brand or kickstarter watches

Ahhh, so that's what it stands for. Daniel Wellington. I see these watches absolutely everywhere in London. Them and Michael Kors bags.

Nice piece on a Hamilton Field watch collector. All about the details, right?

Have you been following the new Iron Heart watch made by Pinion? I don't know anything about Pinion. Not a bad looking watch but it seems premium-priced to me ($3,500, hand wound movement).

That is far too high of a price for a watch with an ETA movement in it. I do like the general design of the watch, however. Also, isn't that watch from 2014?

 

My AD in Japan said they will have my watch and ship it to me on the 11th

That Hamilton watch is typical Hodinkee hype. I've got the version from a couple of years ago. Same watch without the Ben Clymer rub. It's cheap and feels cheap and the band on mine is so rough I stopped wearing it because it cut my wrist. Actual cuts. Actual blood.

Wasn't worth swapping it out.

Hamilton and PBJ. If you're going to buy this watch, budget for a new strap.

That black & red GMT mockup is very nice!

[goodrain]

here is my new Borealis Estoril, a homage to the 1960s Omega military Seamaster. It takes care of the two gripes that I have about my Squale Militare which are the poor lume and hard to turn bezel.

How do you like it? I'm considering pre-ordering the Santa Cruz. 

[goodrain]

I like what i see as a first impression. It cost me around $400 and I think it looks like a $800 watch. Having Miyota movement instead of ETA probably helps keep their cost down.

Yeah RPR has been right a couple times. Coke on jubilee is looking like a strong possibility

@aho that is a stunner! Did you pick it up?

I finally got mine and boy did it not disappoint

[goodrain]

you fancy!

[Geeman]

@dudewuttheheck bravo, a real beauty 

[JDelage]

Very nice, congrats to both of you!

 

@aho - where did you get the Peacock from? New or pre-owned?

[Broark]

Dude are you gonna wear the gloves every time you wear the watch? 
I'm not into watches as much as I used to be, just too much to keep up with. But I've got a Panerai that I don't wear too much because of the bulkiness.
My dad is more of the watch guy, he got the bug when we lived in Singapore.
He's got a black ceramic Panerai,  A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 in platinum and a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms "No Radiation" model just to name a few.

@Broark - get some pics of your dad's watches! 

[Broark]

@mpukas just dug up some very old photos of the two, next time I see him I'll try to take some better photos.


And here's my Panerai:

That Radiomir is great!
