Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic
I've always wanted a 3/6/9 watch. The Explorer is too popular for my tastes, and the PRS-25 is impossible to get at a reasonable price. I really like the vintage-inspired look and it comes in at the perfect 38mm size.

I'd take this over a Smiths any day!!
Love the NG reissues. Superb quality.
Here are the ones I picked up in the Antarctic series...
Absolute with you friend! I'm a big fan of the 3,6,9 dial too, and lost my patience with Smits. I ended up with a Steinhart but the Superantarctic is still very much on my radar - lookinh forward to hear how you get on with it 👌
I picked one up a while back and it is one of my most worn watches.

Very cool vintage inspired piece 👌🏻

Same! And I feel like they're underrated where the Smiths are overrated.

I love it. It wears perfectly and the bracelet is really comfortable.

Those are all stunning! Great choices. I definitely have a few other NGs (hello, Chronomaster) on my list to buy and have just added that spider dial because of your pics. The 35mm Eggshells are also looking fabulous.

Thanks - love the Chronomasters.

I've only been on here a few days. Very informative post and your collection is incredible. We have the same size wrist if you feel you have too many 😂. I had first heard of Nivada Grenchen when reading a book about the Black Dahlia murder and how there was a Croton watch found at the crime scene. Did some interneting and came across the NG Chronomaster and fell in love. I didn't know about the Croton/NG regional branding though- super interesting!

If you are into NG Chronomasters, the book is invaluable. It lists all the variations and loads of critical information and data.
NG also did a great book on the Antarctic series:

I actually did download the Antarctic book after I bought my watch. I love that they made these books.
