OK, I managed to get in a few adventures with my Blancpain Bathyscaphe in black ceramic. The first shot was taken on Elba Island in Tuscany, Italy, and the second in Whistler, BC, Canada. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the watch while scuba diving (also on Elba Island), but the watch has now been on a few adventures! (Ceramic is awesome, there's not a single mark on the case.)
Got a tip for us?

I've been using the AW since release and am currenty on a Series 4 SS SB. My Omega SeaMaster has been worn twice for weddings since. Lately, once I've closed all of my rings, been wearing the SeaMaster in the evening.
For the first time since the AW introduction, lusting after another Omega. This one is only in my dreams and will end up with a AW Series 7 SS if the new design language come to fruition. In the meantime, this is my current watch lust..

I’m on the waiting list for that omega. They say end of the month but they always get delayed. Still not available yet.
Continuing to expand the collection. This time picked up a Tudor Pelagos 25600. Loving it so far.

It is a nice watch. BUT. I just had to post to say that I am glad I am not the only one who drives like that (VW not Audi). That flat spot and fork on the bottom of the wheel is just a natural spot... lol...
Got myself a Tissot Connect Solar and I'm loving it. Alongside all the usual navigational stuff it does notifications, tracks steps, distance and calories (calories would be a guess though as there's no HRM).
Best part is that I charged it up last week and with all the connected smart stuff on the battery will last until around February. Without the smart stuff on it will likely never need charging.

His and hers Omegas we got on a cruise..
And very nice too!
I have a similar Spaceview, an inexpensive (at the time) good, used condition purchase a few years ago, and just love it. These were first introduced to the public in 1960, this being before the first commercial quartz-crystal watches launched by Longines in 1969.
I especially enjoy putting my wrist to my ear to listen to it's unique electronicaly activated vibrating tuning fork humming movement.
When required do you change the battery yourself? I always do, and as these model 214 Spaceviews are particularly voltage sensitive and the original 387 mercury cells no longer available I now use the Energizer 394 (387S), which don't last for much longer than 14 months but certainly "keeps 'em humming."
Mine has an unusual 14kt 'Alpha' case, similar to the one shown HERE. With M4 marked on the case back and an early production B099** serial number, I believe dates it as around 1962 - a 60 year-old golden oldie! Unfortunately it doesn't have the original white hands and white sweep, or an original 'dotted' crystal.
Never really liking 'dress watches' though, I'd have prefered it had the case been stainless steel, but as it was a great offer at the time, I grabbed it.

Really nice. Can you name the exact models pls?
EDIT: ofc I know it’s deville and seamaster, I mean the spec/model nr
On a whim reached out to my IWC AD who also happens to carry this brand:
Was first on the waitlist for about a month. Talked to the AD again about a 5 weeks later but they had yet to get other one of these. Feeling super blessed.

Thanks for the compliment! I’m glad someone recognized it here! It’s a really quirky watch, and as you said the humming sound is really fun to listen to, nothing else quite like it! I do replace the batteries myself, it’s pretty easy. And it’s sort of surreal owning something around 30 years older than I am, lol.
This was one of my must have watches when I first learnt about it, so I jumped on it as soon as I found a decent deal. Your watch’s case size is quite unique, but I prefer wearing a round one myself (not that it gets much wrist time, I’m kinda terrified of water damage with this watch). However, this is one special watch, and it’s never leaving my collection.
Thanks!
Hers is a De Ville Prestige Butterfly, mine is a Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M (limited edition James Bond Spectre).
It's an absolute dream of mine to own a VC timepiece one day! That and A. Lange & Söhne 😃
Enjoy your beautiful watch!
I got this on another cruise...Citizen F150 Eco-Drive Satellite Wave
Been a while since I got myself a new timepiece, but this retro classic was calling out loud to me!
The "Casio Royale"! It's basically a GMT on steroids.
Particularly excited because this watch also has one of the most active modifications communities online with tons of intricate mods for the case, dial, etc. Can't wait to do some interesting stuff with this one in the future!
It arrived today..it’s not expensive but it fits my personality
Newest addition. Picked up from my AD a few weeks ago.
