We’ve got deviled eggs and stout. What more could we ask for.

I totally agree! But sadly, I’m rocking steel. The light is giving the gold glow...

seeing a lot of JLC hate but by far my favorite release of w&w is the JLC shooting star. expensive and sparkly, complicated yet vapid, really only has that one move but it's a fun one. this watch is the high school girlfriend of high horology, and it is perfect.

So much flatulence.

The Pasha was the watch that got me interested in Cartier back in my 20s. I've always preferred the Pashas that have a diving bezel rather than the simple plain bezel. In addition, I really like the dial with white chapter ring on the outer edge of the dial which matches the outer rings of the subdials. I know a lot of people hate the date between the 4 and 5, but it doesn't bother me on this or other watches. I have a previous model, the 38mm Pasha 950 chronograph, so this might be a nice evolution of what I have.

Attractive watch but I really like the deviled eggs in your photo-delicious.

next up for Rolex; the Mil-GAS.

As always, late to the party.

Cartier tank Chinoise (Platinum);
Patek World Timer 5231G
Jaeger LeCoultre Infinite

Honourable mentions:

Parmigiani Rattrapante Tonda GMT
Trilobe Nuit Fantastique

and i am by no means set on the Patek… Something just not right (Perhaps the lack of time telling???)

@Scuppers - I don’t know, the 5231G is gorgeous to me. If I was from that part of the world, or had some connection to it, that watch would be at the top of my list. (Previously, that spot was held by the 5231J).

Interesting nod to Zenith with this one.

I think this is a curious study in the “sportive” direction that Patek is going.

Great case, nice numerals... not loving the colors on the dial or that strap. I feel like I'm looking at a tuxedo with these sneakers.

I thought the 5231J sublime - lace this with the irony of ironies - upon my wishlist from Patek was an Asiatic/Oceanic version of the enamel world timer! Yet it leaves me near flat. The hands have it; the metal has it; yet the cartography seems out of kilter. Exuberant. Not reflective.
Disclosure: I am from the relevant part of the world the G represents.

This is pretty.

I bought the 3861 Speedy on the great new bracelet but was eager to try different straps. I'm fond of the cordura-nylon fabric strap from Omega and ordered a similar version from Jean Rousseau (who make the OEM Omega version...thanks @Texasmade for the confirmation).

I added a two pusher butterfly style deployant and like it. Excuse the dusty case.
