i have to lay low after the mustang purchase for a while

I know what you mean. I've been laying low ever since I bought my Mustang too and because of COIVD it's the perfect excuse to do so. Nobody will know why

I posted this up on the off topic lounge as well (and gave you credit of course )

Actually I have found myself gravitating towards Longines recently. I liked the Carl Brashear divers watches Oris offered a few years back, however really like the Longines "Big Eye" Chronograph and Heritage diver.

Yea, I'm loving the Longines also.

Nice, like the hydroconquest line! Also, not trying to be a snob, is that the quartz version? I hear that the quartz movements are exceptionally accurate (around 300 hz high frequency.)

Yes, it's an entry level quartz Longines. Seems to be exceptionally accurate. Thanks for inquiring.

My biggest issue with quartz watches is they always have dead batteries when I want to use them. I always forget to pull out the crown!

Go something rechargeable. My B50 seems to average 1% a day, maybe less. Charges super fast. I’ve never picked up my watch and had to go “dang it!”

Since I’m on the topic, I’ve often wondered what’s better for battery life in this thing; keep it topped off, or let it run down and recharge? I asked a Breitling group, but didn’t get much input.

In general it’s best to cycle rechargeable batteries. This was a must for Ni-Cad’s due to memory issues. These issues are not present with Li-Ion but the manufacturers still recommend cycling.

If you really, really want to know……..

There's a tv show in Hong Kong that profiles ultra luxury watches and some collectors....impeccibly produced and a joy to watch.

Name of show?

My issue, I have a preference to automatic/mechanical watches. Kind of like my preference for ICE versus electric cars. After all, ICE engines sound better!

So do mechanical watches.

I just saw this from a video on YouTube.

Legit had no idea this came out. This is probably the most beautiful watch I have ever seen

The blue and white contrasting is prefect (I noticed that none of the blue seamasters have a white dial. They are either gray or white/black) Normally I don't like the cartoon design watches like the Mickey Mouse editions but this looks so amazing. My funds are low right now which sucks, but I will prioritize this over that seamaster. I just feel like this watch is 100% for me.

Anybody have an idea on how these special edition watches go? On omegas website it says that it retails for $9.6k but on another website it says that its a whopping $35k lol. The other link I posted says that its not a limited edition so that gives me some hope.

My suggestion is if you really want one contact your Omega dealer and hopefully get one for MSRP. Even thought it is not a limited edition, Speedmaster collectors will snap up all available inventory very quickly. After that the secondary market will get them and the pricing will skyrocket, quickly.

Edit: I wasn’t kidding.

Edit #2: Never mind, didn’t realize this was a 2020 release. Good luck!

Just called all the boutiques in my state and a few nearby and its all the same. There is a list for the deposit and a long waitlist.

Looks like I missed out in this one, damn. So my only option realistically would be the secondary market?
