The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread

[downer]

Three nice watches above, for sure...

Saw one of these (very briefly) yesterday morning:



Hoping to have a proper look on Friday.

Not huge on Panerai usually but this one... wow!

[gwells]

if that was 42mm instead of 47mm, i would love it, too. but not 47.

Yea, most panerai are way too big. Not my cup of tea. But this was interesting - how a panerai is made.

^Thanks for the link

I think the 47 wears well here due to the shape of the case. But I'd be curious to see it in 42 mm.

Currently, a Grand Seiko SBGM025. I'm not sure if it's the sheer allure of the JDM-thing or that blue GMT-hand, but there's something about the thing (pic shamelessly stolen from the interwebs)!

Been thinking that I need a decent understated classic dress watch. It's a great shame that this is: a) not available in steel and b) not available at 10% of RRP.

PP5196P - still this is a dreaming thread!

I've been away from the forum for a while, but have recently been dreaming about these two - one hard to find, the other a bit spendy for me...

All this talk about Damasko on the forum (and elsewhere) is having an effect!

I used to own a DA36 (from P&C), loved everything about it, but over time, I just didn't find the watch stimulating enough and moved it on, but the quality was self-evident and aah, that case, just so tactile, not to mention being very tough. When sold it was as good as new.

Anyway, looking through the range, I have become smitten by the DK11 with the white dial and in-house movement.

Someday you will be mine!

Having seen it briefly in the airport, I ventured into town this morning to have a proper look:



For me, it's a strangely attractive watch and different to anything else in my collection. The fluted bezel and overall dressy feel are normally things I would avoid, but this is a stunner - especially the pie-pan dial and good mix of practical features (lume, good contrast, 100m WR).

As for the movement, I think Omega are advancing the technical aspects of movements faster than other mainstream makers - and that aspect is also appealing.

Joining in with the damasko appreciation I've selected these two as ones to dream about

You guys are evil.


It will be Damasko chrono vs Sinn chrono (EZM13/103) when the time comes.

I've just bought the dial for this to allow me to do the conversion. Just need the watch and hands now

There was a guy here who really lurved his Damasko and wrote a fantastic piece about it at the time
