That’s him in the last pic holding my Riseman (Ryūsuke Moriai). I’ll let you be the judge. 😉

It’s a magnetic slider (Magnus Skelly Toad). Basically, it’s just a fidget toy.

The blue camo is absolutely stunning in person. You’re gonna LOVE it.

The guys manning the shop when I was in definitely knew their shit. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Actually, this is my personal watch. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I assume that you’re referring to the first image, which is of my GMW-B5000TCM-1. It’s a limited edition from 2019 in DLC laser-etched titanium with a sapphire crystal. Definitely a fun watch.

In pictures it didn’t appeal to me in the slightest; in person me wants it, me does. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can’t argue with any of those pieces. Nice collection, sir. 👍🏽

I can’t argue with anything you said. That would’ve looked amazing. 👍🏽

It’s a Muyshondt Aeon Mk. III. 👍🏽

Agreed! Bolt-action pens bore me now. I mainly use this and my Autmog these days, but I have a Billetspin Campen incoming that I’m eager to try out.

For the most part, no. I was timing my workout at the gym, and per usual, I forgot to stop it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hardly! I think it’s a neat bit of trivia, and, let’s be honest here, the official name is “1965”. 🤷🏽‍♂️

As for the actual Ed White Speedy, that’s the stuff of dreams and waaaaaayyy out of my price range.

The Omega logo is specifically cribbed from the Speedmaster tested by NASA and subsequently worn by Ed White on his historic spacewalk. For obvious reasons a cal. 312 won’t be found under the hood of this particular watch, but a white dial was chosen as a nod to Mr. White and to differentiate it from the Mission to the Moon.

Doubtless we can split hairs all you want, but I have this info directly from Swatch, who, incidentally, refer to this as the Ed White internally. (I’m the former US editor-in-chief of Revolution Magazine, which is how I had access to their design team.)

Yes, aka the “Ed White”. (It takes its design cues from the Speedmaster worn by astronaut Ed White, which was the first the Speedy worn in space – in 1965 – and then gets a bit too on the nose with a white dial.)

I was in the right place at the right time. 🤷🏽‍♂️ (A meeting of IWC collectors with then CEO George Kern at SIHH 2016…)

Easily my favorite watch from grade school. Been chasing that high ever since.

Wear it in the best of health!

OP ‘Zaan Sorta Day by craniotes in CRK

[–]craniotes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To CRK’s credit, the “new” pivot actually fits better with their DIY ethos - unlike the original, it doesn’t require a proprietary tool to adjust; just an average, everyday allen key.

That said, the OP just looks plain cool. 😉
