The one watch Chalenge is driving me even MORE insane........
Among other things I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I took my watches out today and just sort of looked at and held the best ones (I did not put any on) but now my ploprof homage is on the desk next to my Chaika stadium just rubbing it in. Not swapping out is maddening.
I am really starting to resent Micky Mouse. I am in serious resentment of a cartoon rodent in eight days in.........
I made a promise to myself if I get through this, I get a BIG gift for me. The BIGGEST HEAVIEST steel diving watch I can find. BIGGER than anything I have. And I regularly wear a steel ploprof homage. So not an easy task.
So I found this. Steeldive Emperor Tuna.
Case diameter: 53.6mm ( without crown)
Case length: 53.6mm (lug to lug)
Case thickness: 17.85mm Lug width: 22mm
I don't think it gets bigger than this......
I'm putting it up on the wall just to keep me on track.
I love watches, I am also staggeringly poor. So I usually have to go for oddity or utility over horological mastery. Very little in my collection could qualify as a "flex" I tend to wibble on about my...
Its not letting me edit. But this is NOT my photo, its from a review.
I Think you may not be fully satisfied until you find a way to strap a scuba tank to your wrist. That's a real heavy dive watch.

Well, am insane! Blame Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Its his fault. he set me down this dark path.
Day 6 is today. Easy peasy.

I'd already been going two days when I suggested it. Perhaps Mickey was a bad choice?

I’ve thought of it, but wow, are those things expensive! And they don’t have the fun of being a big chunk of steel.

Biggest fault, if it can't display the time on the main face its not really a watch.
Wow and I thought my tuna was big.

Why stop there? They could strap on a boat fully crewed with divers! 🚢
Don't give in!!!

The Emperor Tuna is bigger. :)

That little tiny movement in that huge case is hilarious.

There is the model using the Ronda R150 with either mother of pearl or meteorite dial. These go for $300-350ish, in 43 or 50mm.
I picked the biggest and heaviest I could while in the same price range. Still wanted it to look good and not overbearing.
Check-in - how is your 12th day @Crazy_Dana?
I'm only on day 10 of #owie / #1wc practice run.
Are we still doing this? Going the full December? My other watches are calling haha.

I’m still doing it. Its ends for me on the 27th. I started it from the day I bought the watch. This way I’m not wearing Mickey on New years eve! I am so sick of this watch! I’m sorry I picked a novely watch! Its going to take a month before I can look at it again!

Yeah, I'm having an easier time with a sensible 5KX. Should have chosen my Mr. Jones to have gone just as unpractical as you did.
At least your other watches will all feel brand new on the 27th.

I'm tapping out at Day 14 due to unforseen circumstances. The 5KX honeymoon period is also over too haha. I need some holiday cheer.
Cheers to you and Mickey Mouse 🥂 & I better see you there for #1wc this year.

Belive me the urge to “tap out” is horrible, and when my SD Emperor Tuna gets here its going to be even worse. Sadly this is my lesser challenge this month.
