I'm selling an ehtbp batch 2 for 2200 right now. Interested?

I'm not a big fan of dusty EHT BPs. I'll ask around though.

New Breitling super ocean is a little funky

This looks like something that should have an inner rotating bezel

Pretty cool looking, but I'm a sucker for those 60s retro watches.

Looks like they're bringing back the "slow Chrono" which takes an hour to do a full revolution.

it's also priced pretty well, MSRP is $4700. They've got a few vanilla colored models; but a pretty wild orange one a pretty cool green one as well.

I like the Christopher Ward watches with the logo much better than those with the name on it. Much cleaner.

Hmm, I am digging this one! Thanks for posting. In their online description they focus on the bezel click. Thought that was funny but man, can't beat the feel and sound of a good dive watch click. Also, 600M?? Lol

Good read on the new Sinn Diver's Chrono...probably a little too chunky for me but it's as clean a chrono dial as I've seen in a long time.

Went in to the Rolex AD today to look at a Tudor GMT, Black Bay Pro, and a Rolex Rose Gold Presidential thinking of walking out with a Tudor… liked the GMT.

Ended up walking out with a new Skydweller. Was super impressed with the weight and size. Loved the blue face.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's probably Rolex's most technologically complicated watch?
Daytona22

Yes you're correct that this is their most complicated watch. Finally just figured out how to set everything. Every click of the bezel sets a different complication.

AgLA- still hoping for a Daytona this year to solidify the username ha! Not holding my breath… I've been on the list a while and kick myself for passing on one 4 years ago because I wanted the white face instead of black. Missed the white face by 2 weeks of letting the AD know back then.

This AD just had a blue dial sky dweller sitting around? I have the same watch though no doubt I paid more than you did.

No. I've known them for a long time. Just right place at the right time after someone passed on it an hour before I walked in.

I was on vacation in Vancouver and thought I would pop in to a few stores to see what their availability was like. Rolex had display modes only, Patek had one single watch in the boutique (it was awful), and Vacheron had a decent selection, although none of their most popular models.

I also went to the Omega boutique looking for an all stainless rail master and they had a black face version but not the brushed stainless face. The sales guy said that model was already discontinued, but don't know if that's accurate.

Long story short, no finds to be had north of the border either.

Set your month, it's not October. Very cool watch

Yeah I've been waiting for that watch for 4 years

I live out in the stagecoach/pinehurst area and don't ever just find myself in the galleria or woodlands area, sounds like I need to start randomly dropping by more often

You should go full salesman on them - send them breakfast tacos and Churros every Wednesday morning so they'll throw business your way

Had to watch a YouTube last night to figure that out. Fixed the month and the 24 hour complication too.

I've been sitting here for 5 minutes staring at this watch wondering what in the hell you are even looking at to know how the month is set. Finally noticed the red square above the 10.

Such a watch face reading neophyte I am.

I hope you put it on an auto winder when not wearing it.

Don't waste your money. It can be hand wound if you need to jumpstart it. Just read the manual.

I've always liked the Sky Dweller but wish they come out with something other than the fluted bezel. I'm just not a fan of it. The watch and complication are awesome, though.

I'm guessing he's telling him to put it on an auto winder because it's rather complicated to set compared to a three-hander.

Exactly

It's not difficult, you just twist the bezel between the settings for the month, 24 hour, and regular time.
