I'm going to be posting wrist watch stuff until someone else better starts doing it #wristwatch #watchenthusiast #wristcheck #watchcollecting #microbrands #christopherward #Nomos #Tudor #Hamilton #Luminox #GrandSeiko #bskywatches #Rolex #wristwatch
#G-Shock has three new "bold" camo colors in the GV01 family. Not so exciting but, you know, G-Shock so I'm posting. $210 gshock.casio.com/us/products/...
#Laco listened! They have shrunk the Frankfurt GMT from 43 to 40mm. Same utilitarian look that won them a Red Dot award for design. Internal 24-hr bezel, engraved caseback, 200m resistance. Selita SW330-2. Gray or black. 2 straps! $2100. www.laco.de/en/frankfurt...
#Christopher-Ward has stopped the silliness and added new sizes to the new Sealander models so that you can now get all of the #Rolex OP colors in 36mm, 42mm and date and GMT models. The email was cute. www.christopherward.com/int/sealande...
First up today, my new #Casio Pro-Trek. Straight from Japan. This is going to be a nice beater. Solar quartz and 100m resistance. And my first full lume dial (sort of). Amazing they can do that with a solar quartz.
And in case anyone is interested this is the pen in the photo #Caran-d'Ache 849 Original. It's a total killer.
My associate scored the new 38mm #Seiko x Rowing Blazers LE SRPM21. It was apparently gone in minutes and I already see it listed for 3X the $495 MSRP on some scammy sites. Looks great to me at MSRP...but not for $1500.
Got to try on my friend's #Tag-Heuer Monaco. yesterday I don't think it's too big on me... Not too too big... Nope. It's WAAAY TOO BIG!
For the America’s Cup 2027, #Panerai adds a compact GMT to the Luna Rosa collection. The silver dialed GMT is wearable at 40mm with a GMT hand inspired by the boat's racing sails. With 100m resiatnce it's a daily wear if not a diver, but why a 12-hour GMT? $11,400. www.panerai.com/us/en/collec...
Four new colors for the #Bulova Caravelle Sea Hunter: light blue, dark green, orange and taupe/brown. Miyota 8215, 200m resistance. Not sure about the faux-patina lume on these; need to see IRL. But $375/$395 (gold color) is solid. flip.it/4pVBWI
#Citizen x Hypebeast with a LE Zenshin Three-Hand that ticks alot of boxes. SuperTi brushed monochrome dial, bracelet and skelonized hands. Arabic “20” at 4 o’clock marks the anniversary. Day-date, Eco-Drive and 100m resistance. Refined look for $625! www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/produc...
#Casio has updated the Edifice Automatics with 5 new watches including one forged carbon model. The case shape is just different enough to be not-boring, but also not for everyone? The Miyota on display is underwhelming at -20/+40 spd. For $500 i'd look at others. www.casio.com/us/watches/e...
Newest addition to the collection: #Tudor Black Bay 58 925. I've wanted it for a long time. It's wonderful. But my wife is wearing it! 👀
#Christopher-Ward x Chris Alexander ("The Dial Artist") has a 150 piece LE of the Twelve X: the Xander. 13 colors on 1200 parts took about 900 hours to hand paint. Impressive. And joyful. But really not for me. $6515 seems fair for the work and specs. www.christopherward.com/int/the-twel...
Holy Willy Wonka! The #Norquain Freedom GMT Holiday has one Golden Ticket among the 500 piece LE release. The finder gets a 6-night vaycay for two in an Ocean Villa at the Ayada Maldives Resort. Winner is a secret until September. Great watch to cheer up Charlie. $6490 norqain.com/pages/freedo...
The #Seiko 5 Sports × Wind Vintage × Rowing Blazers Divers collab release in two hours with a pair of “5KX” Seiko 5 Sports divers. The green SRPM21 is 38×12.1mm; the blue is 42.5 × 13.4mm. 100m resistance for both. Too preppy for me but undeniable presence. $495. share.google/b0bzbVhGOujK...
Finally today, #Studio-Underd0g releases the 02Series Gen 2, with a slimmer case, a couple of new bright colors, and a new movement: the the SW200-2 M Power+. It's a hand wound converted automatic with reserve up from 42 to 63 hours. Price up too: now $1200. flip.it/HlzOM6
#casio will soon be introducing three (now Japan-only) full analog Pro-Trek models: the PRJ-01 Hiker Line. 39x11.6 mm secured by a single pass urethane band that can be subbed for an included carabiner attachment. Unique bezel crown protector. $157 (soon?) www.casio.com/intl/watches...
This #Kiwame-Tokyo Mune just loves straps. On the two piece NATO ...
#Christopher-Ward has updated it's C-63 Sealander GMT in much the same way as it did the non-GMT version a few months back. Slimmer case, better legibility, nicer crown and display case back. New colors. And now 42mm white dial added to 39 and 36. $1620. www.christopherward.com/int/new-watc...
#G-Shok has a collab release with Seoul-based street brand thisisneverthat. I don't know that company, but this DW5600TNT-7 version of the classic 5600 line looks great. I like the reverse LCD screen with the translucent case. Would buy. $155 pre-order. www.casio.com/us/watches/g...
I might as well have forgotten my pants... #wristcheck #toolate
British #Bremont is marking the United States’ 250th anniversary with the Terra Nova Jumping Hour 1776, a 250-piece LE with a blue dial, 1776 inscription, star accents on the minute track and red triangles at 3 and 9. Bald eagle engraving on the case back. $4300. us.bremont.com/pages/discov...
#Christopher-Ward has a new Bel Canto model: the Lumiére. Same specs but you can now hear it—and see it—in a cave. Still amazing craftsmanship but because this is not a sports watch, I think this sci-if look detracts from that craftmanship. $5k. www.christopherward.com/int/watches/...
#Baltic has updated the Scalegraph as a 100m resistance skin diver. New case with sharper finishes, screw-down pushers and dial matched bezels. 3 colors: champagne, blue or grey. Selita w/63h power reserve. Lume is meh but like the look (👍 in champagne) $1938 baltic-watches.com/en/collectio...
