Contemplation …

After enjoying the new Speedmaster for seven days straight, it’s time to make the change to an old favourite.

A different vibe but with both on bracelets and legendary designs in their own right it’s an interesting switch.
What are you thoughts ?

time ! Your 5980 needs to ride your wrist more often ! Love that greyish blue dial

It’s certainly a sweet ride 😉

Just good to share it with you …

Do you prefer straps or bracelets ?

Of course it depends on the piece…

You can shower with a bracelet so generally, I prefer that…I love the Nautilus as far as PP goes. I only own Omega’s, but the exception for the future might perhaps include Laurent Ferrier or Parmigiani… a few years off, though I think.

A nice Nautilus.

What are you enjoying today ?

Always interesting to compare watches. Both are on bracelets, but the emotional strings they play on are very different.

The difference is even bigger with the black dial Moonwatch. Two chronos on bracelets, but very different in style.

Good to hear your thoughts …

I’m certainly enjoying contemplating the change to this one.

Possibly the best looking Nautilus variant, surely the most masculine Nautilus.

It is a very impressive watch! Your white speedy is more elegant, but bot saying this Nautilus isn't.

I like your description …

“Masculine ” suits the design very well, especially when you consider the era that the original design was conceived.

An era when men were real machos and real men!😀

Driving a car like you have stolen it, no seat belt on and a hot woman on your lap! Burt Reynolds in "Smokey and the Bandit". ...  

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one …

It’s easy to get distracted when collecting but I urge you to find one. It really is a great watch. Best Captain

ENJOY ALL OF YOUR HONEYS

Now that’s more like it!

As nice as the Speedmaster is, the 5980 is something special, particularly the integration of the chrono pushers. All the best, Jon

Hi Jon …

It certainly hits the spot for me.

Now we are talking!

Pleasure to share this one with you.

A real beauty Captain!

Dumbest move I ever made was to turn down the opportunity to purchase one at a small discount back in 2014. My local AD had one of these and a 5130g left as they were winding down their Patek relationship. I remember saying “the 5980 will go - but you’ll ... 

We’ve all done it …

It’s the ones that got away that we remember most 😤
