Am I the only one who wants a 24 hr chapter/inner bezel ring for a third time zone rather than the useless compass rose?

My thoughts exactly

Good points about the dress watch value. I loved the Robin Egg but I just got a GS Snowflake ($$$$) so I won’t wear it and wanted it to go to a good home and offset the $$$$

but then I bought the Southport In gunmetal. I loved it at first but then didn’t like the blue hand…and the lume was lacking in the hands

anyway…the northport is the way to go 🤞

I was surprised too. dont Get me wrong, it looks great

i think I’d prefer the green in bottom. Is that weird?  I think I also prefer the oyster. love the sapphire bezels tho. To each their own. 
 

stunning what he produces for $400. I wonder what his sales volume is. Glad he is doing well.

Good point on the cocktail times. Seiko makes amazing dials. Some of the old 7S Five dials are impressive. But the movement is obsolete. Still have a ton of fun with them. 

i really wonder how many of each mark stocked. I couldn’t believe the seafoam sold out first. I was ready to pounce on the black and blue but when I read the comments about it being purple and reexamined more closely, I realized it was my terrible color blindness playing a trick on me. 
 

turquoise all the way. I wish the purple was blue but it made my choice easy. I just sold my Robins Egg and was missing my turquoise. So that was my choice. I am very glad he went with conservative markers and hands. This will scratch my BB58 itch and then some. My last Miyota was +2spd. I hope This one does as well
 

im going broke buying his offerings. they just keep getting better. I keep trying to save up for a luxury diver but why???

commented on New Islander Hi Beat Diver Release! The Northport! ·

Mark is creeping into Prospex price point territory but his offerings continue to offer better value than the competition, and now more interesting and dare I say beautiful offerings. 
I keep staring at photos of that dial. I cannot help but feel the GS Minamo Lake Suwa vibes. 
Serious question: can anyone think of a better dial than that at the $400 price point?

I thinks it’s a great looking watch. Not sure why the date window is so huge. 
 

i get symmetry but i feel the negative space is a little awkward

Does it remind anyone else of Seikos SNKL23?

otherwise…why not…Tissot PM80s are the best value swiss on the market

Like Candide I’m a ISL addict

i just ordered one…I’ll let you know how it looks and wears when I get it. 
 

may scratch the GS minamo lake suwa itch?
