·I wouldn't mind all three!
Amen to that. Just missing the Railmaster. Love the Seamaster as well ... I find it too similar to the RM to justify both ...

·That movement is derived from the F Piguet designed 33X3 series and as such has no Lemania link. ….. the 3313 is streets ahead of the 321/861 in every respect .…

··Oooo subtitles!For the horological heathens amongst us, i.e. me, could you elaborate on that? Anything to do with stability from that large, not quite A.Lange, top plate?

··Oooo subtitles!Out of interest, who has done a thinner chrono than the 1180? I would imagine someone has by now but can’t find it with a cursory Google. The more I look the more I think no one actually has…

·Speedy Tuesday 1 for me.
It’s the first iteration, looks great and like no other Speedmaster, both in terms of dial and case finish. It’s also not too gimmicky as in it’s not plastered with a cartoon dog, a movie secret agent or a Japanese superhero and was genuinely limited in its run.

·My guess is sterling silver dial Speedy, Apollo 17th 40th Anniversary. Why? Extremely different to all other Speedies. Not photogenic at all, majority of all watch enthusiasts were disgusted with pictures of the watch. They were sitting on the shelf at shops for almost 10 years. And it’s limited to even less pieces - 1972 to be precise. I bought new one for 4.500€ two years ago. See C24 how much they are now. Even over 10.000€…

··This Space for RentIf one were totally p#ssed and had a momentary lapse of madness, I still don’t think anyone would blow 10k on that. It looks like it fell out of one of those grab machines. It is hideous in the extreme and never in a million years is that ever going to go crazy. I doubt even Hodinkee could hype this one enough to sell all the remaining watches sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

·The chrono Octo Finissimo is thinner by 1.34mm, and it’s an auto, and a GMT
That’s the whole watch that’s thinner by that much, no?

Yes, the OF chrono-GMT case is 6.90mm, or 1.34mm thinner than the Piguet.
The OF’s BVL 318 automatic movement is 3.3mm thin, making it 0.65mm (16%) thinner than the 1180 manual (3.95mm), and 2.20mm (40%) thinner than the 1185 automatic (5.50mm).

Speak for yourself. [EDIT: Ignore me yourself!! 😵💫😗]
It’s a Gerald Genta designed watch, and watches in this case/bracelet combo have been either nominated or won categories at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in all but one of the past 7 years.
That’s not to say there aren’t critiques, and an ass for every seat, etc., but only to say that yours is just one of two strong opinions available.
I think a watch design from the same guy who designed the Patek Nautilus and the AP Royal Oak, from a horology house that has broken a world record in thinness every year since 2014, has the makings for a *possibly* good watch
