Much feedback on Casio Edifice, I'm very tempted to get the torro rosso.

I like my Edifice, got a bunch of others on my wishlist as well but I want to buy some other brands first to build my collection

I'd shift a kidney for that GS Skeleton

So that'll get you the strap, what else do you need harvest to get the rest of it

That Tudor looks great. Really like it.

Sirrel Squirrel · 6 Apr 2022 at 14:01

Really like the GS White Birch with the Spring Drive.

And the Speedmaster 57 that was posted earlier, I'm a bit torn on what to pick. The GS just looks so elegant though.

I'm a big fan of GS, but the Omega would get my vote for being the more useful watch with the lume and 12hr stacked chronograph. If you don't think you'll use the chronograph or really need lume, then go for the GS.

Love my bb58. I really need to wear it more.

Gs. The Speedy is a hesalite moon watch or a fashion statement.

Altho I hate the words all over the GS for me.

What do you mean by hesalite?

Going to try them both as they're both very different save for the see through backs.

I've been hankering for a salmon dialed watch for awhile, and seeing as I also wanted a GMT... my excuse was set and I've ended up with an Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage.

I find the movement quite interesting, it being an in house modification of a Sellita with a jumping hour hand for local time. I quite like that method for a GMT.

I know it won't hold much value but I feel it is a lot of watch for what I paid for it, so I'm happy!

Do a bit of reading on the Speedy as your paying quite a premium for the story. For purists, unless it is a hesalite moon watch, then it isn't really the point of a Speedy.

Teddy with the new Grand Seiko models including the skeleton :cool:

Have to say the Black Bay Pro does look very very nice. I think I might just have to get one in the very near future.

B&J also showed some clips of the other BB range and they now have the glidelock system on the bracelets which is cool to see. Sounds like you can customise the BB 31, 36, 39 and 41 models too.

Cleisthenes · 8 Apr 2022 at 08:51

Definitely like the Pro, even more so on a strap

Cleisthenes · 8 Apr 2022 at 09:22

Bought myself a Casio M5610 this week for gym/cycling/exercise duties, and probably sometimes daily duties as I'm wearing it today.

Bit of a step up from the F91W I used to have for the same reason as this, feels like a proper watch rather than a bit of a toy.

The Auto Receive and Power Saving functions are very impressive, I think I'd forgotten how impressive these G Shocks are!

Damnit I don’t need anymore watches :cry:

keep telling myself this and new releases come out.

Looking at a new watch for my 40th later this year. I've shortlisted a few :
Black Bay 58 - like the styling but with the bezel wasn't aluminum as I'll be gutted when I scratch it.
Superocean Heritage - like this in the blue, movement seems solid, need to try on.
Omega Seamaster professional - grail watch but quite a lot more expensive than the other two.

I've already got a diamond stainless dial date-just so looking for something to compliment. Is there anything else else you think I've missed that might fit the bill?

Previously owned an SMP 300 from 2006 which I wish I'd held onto and a Bi Metal Sub with the blue alloy bezel - again I wish I could rewind and keep the pair of them.

:rolleyes:

Do you have another watch? I think the GS is beautiful and prefer this version as it moves the power meter to the back. But if it is a daily driver I think the lack of lume on the GS would be a bit frustrating from a practicality perspective which would push me towards the Omega.

I wouldn't necessarily let that bother you. I've have the BB S&G for 4 years and it's pretty much been worn daily. The bezel is still pristine after this time, I suspect due to the very domed crystal which protects it from the odd knock. The scratches instead are all over the bracket and clasp!

I have had to have the crown replaced after a knock on a door handle which was frustrating but...
