The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

Not yet, I would be curious to see how much clearance there is between the lug pin holes and the case. I would imagine its a very tight tolerance, which may make it difficult for a leather strap.

I could see that. I think the OF on a smoky grey/black croc strap would just be so good.

Bulgari does sell the OF on croc straps. But I imagine that the way Bulgari makes straps and the way you make straps differ...

Yeah that may be outside my wheelhouse. I am guessing that strap is a plastic insert that fits into the lugs with a thin layer of alligator glued to the top. Does look nice tho.

Stopped by an Omega AD today and saw this one. Not for me, but still nice.

Not pictured, my fist.

I think the watch is too big. Omega made this one thinner and much nicer vs the first generation but I think they should’ve made this one 40mm vs 41mm

I agree. I think it should be more like 39mm. They are getting the CK859 to the store to let me try. Don’t think I’ll get it but curious to see what the fuss is about.

I've tried it on. It's a nice watch but the hours and minutes hand are too close to the same length. I'm also not a big fan of the strap even though it's supposed to have that casual looking strap.

FUKS.

FUKS.

Just wondering if this watch has an original gas escape valve? I can't tell.

Wifey and I are looking at this one. We've had Volvos before and are confident they will have a decent job on this.

Yeah, I am interested to try it on. The hands might bother me. I don't really care about the strap issue.

Only works after it eats Chipotle, though.

That's when the Ring Lock System kicks in to make sure you get home with only gas escaping.

i want to like the heritage Seamasters too but there’s something off. I think the size of this one is perfect.
