I said that when i bought my BLNR a couple of years ago, but a DSSD joined it this year

...and i phoned my local AD and had them stick me on the list for the new SD

I thought of a Daytona but tried one on and it felt small

Love the blue to black graduation on the Deepsea/seadwellers though

New Seiko. It has some kind of half quartz, half mechanical movement. Looks good.

Its $14k so around £11k

Wonder who would drop over £10k on a Seiko. I rather get 2 Rolex's for that price.

Most of you know how picky I am with what I like in terms of watch designs, and for the last... god knows how long, I've been umming and ahhing over a dress watch, namely the Hamilton Navy Pioneer. But I also really REALLY like another watch, which could probably replace the Pelagos. I want both, but I don't like the faff of having multiple automatic watches, adjusting both, keeping them wound, you get the idea.

So I think I've decided to go for it, and will likely put the Pelagos up for sale at some point very soon.

Any guesses as to what this mystery piece is? To give a clue, this watch could double as a dive watch, but also looks both formal, and casual :cool:

Sounds like the perfect watch....

Not a clue in all honesty, perhaps a Tag Heuer Carrera but one without all the bells and whistles?

BananaDunka · 28 Mar 2017 at 08:49

Not a Tag

randomshenans · 28 Mar 2017 at 09:39

JLC?
IWC? (more dress, not diver, mind)

Anyone in Basel today @Rikki maybe, get on uber and just go somewhere... swipe right and you get a free ride in a Zenith sponsored classic car. They have old rolls royces, mercs, jags etc. all driving you about for free. I want to take one but have no where to go lol

Quite a few, even before they separated into two separate companies (which has just happened).

Could be anything from a Rolex Sub to a Seiko diver, or even a Seamaster

I'm guessing a Tudor Black Bay

BananaDunka · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:03

Wouldn't make sense getting a Black Bay when you already have a Pelagos

It's not a sub, you know my feels on those! It's not as rich as a JLC or IWC either.

BeeP · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:10

Is it another Hamilton?

Maybe Seaview day/date.....ok that might be just because I like it.

Pocket10s · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:12

Grand Seiko Spring Drive?

Phate · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:14

Spiderman watch from Argos.

Aqua Terra?

hughtrimble · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:31

Christopher Ward Trident of some description?

I'm firmly in the camp of not blending the two - a diver can be formal now, as they're just so damn common that they're everywhere, and are thus worn as dress watches, but they're still not quite right as formal pieces, on my wrist at least. A dress watch that can go to diver depths though, which is what you're suggesting, is beyond me though!

randomshenans · 28 Mar 2017 at 10:31

I was going to say Omega, but then I thought he wasn't an Omega type of guy

BananaDunka · 28 Mar 2017 at 15:33

Not a Tag or a CW, and legend has it that I don't have the build for an Omega

...

This switch might confuse/surprise a few. I'll need a few days to see how I like it, but if it looks as good as it does in photos and feels as good as reviews suggest, then I'm happy.
