It is a skeletonized twelve very much like this from Zenith:

That is the story:

1 - They sent us an invitation to an early-release virtual event (a video). I received that message I guess because I am a CW old customer or because I signed up for the magazines 🤷‍♂.

2 - The response e-mail comes with a VIMEO link for the early release:

Now the video is not accessible anymore:

3 - After the presentation they sent me a link to pre-order the watch:

I hope that helps.

Hey @CheapHangover, I strongly suggest you to take a look on Christopher Ward. I think the Aquitaine Dune will be perfect:

You will see at WC that a lot of people love CW watches, myself included. The ratio price/quality/specs is unbeatable.

I hope that helps

Awesome collection, @thisjeffmartin congratulations!

I couldn't help but notice the Baltic straps on some of your watches. Mind if I ask, "how do you find them? Are they good quality?"

I would like to suggest you the Grand Seiko SBGX261.

I have had one for a bit more than one year and I still love it.

To me, it is a perfect everyday watch. Loved it since day one and it is still one of my favorite watches.

Personally, I had an anticlimactic episode when I was on a hunt for an Explorer 1 (small, 36 mm). To me, that Rolex was the perfect watch, the principles of that watch were perfect but, when I tried it on my wrist with the intention of buying I felt nothing, if I held a tuna can on my wrist I could have a better impression. Anyway, after that disappointment disguised as a luxury purchase, I tried my SBGX261and then I fell in love immediately, it was like giving the Explorer 1 specification to the GS team and this watch is the result.... I couldn't recommend it more.

I saw your SOTC and, to be honest, I already can see 5 very good Explorer alternatives 😉. Can you be a bit more specific in what you are looking for?

BTW. Amazing collection, well done @norrecc , well done!

Hey @shiroed you are not the only one. My BB58 not only has the pip slightly to the right side but also the entire triangle is slightly misaligned with the 12 mark (based on the railroad tracks on the dial).

And I love it! BB out there can be counted in tons but this one is mine!

It was this singularity that made me decide to engrave the back of mine.

Hope someday you see this as I do.

Cheers!

About the Longines Spirit 37, I can't say I like it. To me the 5 starts it display on the dial remember me those cheap hotels near train stations we have all around the world...

I am having mixed feelings about this one lol😜
