Tied first place here
Hello Art,
I tried to follow your call as exactly as I could with the help of our kitchen scale.
My pieces are by no means as chunky as your GO Senator Karee PC, but here is my result:
a tied first place between the Omega SM 300 diver and the Sinn 356 Flieger chronograph, both weighing 86 grams including strap and buckle:
I do not expect to be granted the honour of being elected "photo of the week", but probably I will recieve an honourable mention for my scientific approach
?I will be working nightshift the whole weekend, but wish a very pleasant one to all of you being off!

Anthony met with several boxers . . .

This one qualifies? Warning: Breitling contents inside ...
I know that this watch is not that popular here but what I can do? I like it. I know that the movement is pedestrian but I love the macho look, even with 42mm. Let's see the pictures: 1) Wrist shot. I put a very thick leather strap (The bracelet is too sh...
Naturellement! . . .
. . . the category is purely subjective, Nilo. I hope we see as many interpretations as possible. Simplicity, anyone?
This is actually the best reason to love it!
"I know that this watch is not that popular here but what I can do?" I sometimes worry about community pressures and 'norms'. It is great to see and don't ever feel uncomfortable about a watch you love. It's a chunky, legible, serious, sporty, no-nonsense...
I have a strong contrarian way of thinking ...
In special to watches. Sometimes I succeed by persuading my friends about a brand, sometimes I fail. My most recent victory was when I acquired a Girard Perregaux and all my friends disagree. Later they started paying attention to the brand and GP is in h...
First
GP , now Brietling. U are making your AD very happy! Stunning photo as always.... Makes the super ocean so desirable!
Great watch...
Nilo. I must say that i am not a big fan of some of the Breitling designs (save the Navitimer family) and the Transocean, but this one is really, really cool! Enjoy it, Stefan
Your pictures give a new perspective on this watch
it looks wonderful on your wrist Nilo
I'm really surprised...
normally I chime with the "oh-no Breitling" chorus. I think this is the first Breitling I've seen where my first reaction was, nice watch. And when I look a little closer I think I really like it. Maybe even enough reason to stop by the Breitling stand at...
We share reactions...
My Breitling or should I say "No Breitling" reaction may be derived from those steel with touches of gold that they produced during the 90's. Recently they produced a very nice in house chrono movement and this Superocean exudes good design and amazing qu...
I agree with you there...
I agree with you there Nilo. I really like Breitlings, but i absolutely hate the Chronomat with its gold bits on the bezel. G
Nothing defines . . .

A stunning watch Nico. why don't you get rid of the rest of them and just keep this. I would be happy with crumbs from your table.

The 1st is always the most significant.
Heavy in what it represent. My 1st serious piece and also happen to be a gift from my family. A Keeper for sure. HAGWE Tyler ...
Agreed, Tyler. Just to be sure
Are you saying that this watch, gifted to you by your family, this first serious piece started it all, your madness for horology? Best, Nicolas, Curious.
Yes, the one that start it all.
I have others nice watch but this is the one that set fire to the forest. :) Regards Tyler
Now that I think of it.
It's really been awhile. When was the GMT release? 2004? Wow almost 8 years. Regards Tyler
I did some research and found some similarities
Good eye. Not that I draw any parallels to his body of work just a hint. thanks Bill
Thank you
You probably noticed Cazalea and I had almost the same shot. Pretty funny. Bill
We took the same MBA program
Now he looks better than me. I went for a Rolex and he for abr. The one guy on the planet oops and gal who have the same degree and he makes better choices. I guess it boils Dow n to looks he is a handsome gentleman. Best Ps and a handsome gal.
Yes, but
I want to know how Bill and I were apparently taking photos in the same pool and didn't see each other!
Oh, yeah! Heavy duty, Cazalea! Inspired me to get mine out...
nice watch, nice shot, in situ!
you asked for heavyweights, you got it doc
2 of my heavyweights I'm actually wearing the Railmaster as i've been helping out a family member for a couple of weeks and just happened to take it with me. As for who i've been helping, just remember 'he aint heavy, he's my brother' (sorry, couldnt resi...
Have fun there!
I was on to be part of the ... Feast, but too many things to do here in Paris... Next time! Best, Nicolas
Love the Patina on the first
and the second is just such a strong look - as always great diversity Graham.
Thats me Unik, i never...

Heavy?
Heavy weight I don't really know, somehow bullish with some scars? Yes!!! Painful? Yes, can be...Eye blinding? Maybe?... Matt ...

Thanks Nico
I didn't know you hunted this one as well - we share many dreams, my friend. I picked this up at the start of the summer and have been digging hard into it's history. It has a few secrets to tell I think. For sure I will bring it with me for when we next ...
Yes, I added a few more... ;) But for this one, I would have passed on the few
I added... ;) Best, my friend. Catch you soon, I hope. Nicolas
