    Thinking at some point we're going to have to do one of these, it absolutely stinks when you're working in the city and walking too and from your office during the day and get rained on while wearing a watch like my Cal 320 OT2872, which has NO waterproofing, not even seals around its pushers just air and can't get wet at all...

    See plenty of weather forecasting apps exist, but you don't have one that tells you "Its a Submariner day tomorrow" or "Its fine and warm, wear the Cal 321 Speedmaster".

    I'm thinking we might have to do something to address this at some point, even better we could do a five day forecast, so you can plan your watch choices over the week and not waste those precious days when a vintage grail watch can be taken out in the sunshine... The Singaporeans and Londoners know what I'm talking about here, nothing looks worse than having to scramble to stick your timepiece in a plastic bag in your briefcase because of a sudden afternoon shower...

    We could have various horological icons to illustrate weather events: Casio G-Shock means "shit's going down".

    I think this thread was merely a devious attempt to make us all furiously jealous by posting a pic of that watch ;)

    There are some days though that a man goes sporran-less ;)
