9300 crazy

[Mosco]

it started a couple months ago, when I snagged one of the new 46mm beastly Planet Ocean Chronos. Sized the watch, put it on. Everything seemed in place - large yet comfortable, functional and well-placed (read: beautiful). The dual hands on the chrono subdial at 3 topped it off. Could this be a keeper for a watch whore like me? Who knows.

Couple weeks later, I received a small package of goods including few of the new Speedies with the same 9300 movement. The case looked familiar yet... different, nicer. Larger than the original, sure, but again - very comfortable. And truth be told, I prefer the dual subdial layout to the original, it is much more balanced and the date does not look like it is crammed in there. Plus oversized and raised crystal on the back, showing even more of that magnificent engine. Could I break every one of my own rules, and not only keep two from the same brand - but the same exact function?

Since getting both of them, I have worn one or the other. My Offshore was nervously smoking in the corner.

Yesterday, the fedex man brought me yet another 'curveball'. The LiquidMetal. All I can say is damn. Same yet so different - and again, a stunner. I must be losing my mind.





and, as the kids say, "dat ass"



The Speedie is in my office at the moment, Monday I'll snap a few pics of the awesome threesome. The Offshore was flipped yesterday, bye bye. Zero regrets.
