  1. How did I miss this launch?! So Omega has a dive watch that does 6000m? That's so try-hard and ridiculous. Obviously I want one. I had to get a calculator out, but that's 3280 fathoms. If you're wearing a 50 fathoms, I'm going to laugh in your face. Want to go for a splash in the ocean's abyssopelagic zone with that watch? I don't think so! Disclaimer: The rep only does "30m" and I assume by that they mean mm, and I'd be scared to take it out in light sprinkling rain, but that's my business.
  2. Good to see folk returning after a long time away!
  3. Very nice indeed! That would not be easy to mix up! I often think I'm in the market for a classic dress watch.......and then instead a few weeks later I'm sitting wearing a newly acquired Ploprof or equivalent. It's a problem. Turn up to dinners ready to leap off the RV Calypso at a moment's notice.
  4. You never got your grail? [I wouldn't say I got my "grail" yet, but bought some of my favourites through the years]
  5. Anyone else do this? Even though I know which is which, I get caught out every couple of months where I have to stop and think (or at least try and remember). I have an IWC 3717, and it isn't that they look identical. In fact the rep looks better because it has nicer 'chief' AR, so when I pick both up my first line of thinking is I think the gen is the one that looks worse. Then I have to mess around with the bracelet, that's stiffer on the gen. And setting the time is a completely different story on the gen (even though the rep is an ETA, it's not had the same servicing). Anyway, not matter how many times it's happened, it does keep catching me out. Anyone else have this?
  6. I don't have the results yet, but if I get there and the Dr has something the size and shape of an orange on their desk, I'm turning around and running. If it's a grape, OK, let's talk. If it's a watermelon, I'll almost be impressed....briefly. Too bad for me if they just pack a healthy lunchbox. (Joking, obviously, should be fine)
  7. Being told I can't take my IWC Ingeneuir to go inside the MRI scanner. My man, this is my watch's big day.
