Tough to say that any brand is doing better with its heritage approach than Longines.

I have been looking for that pretty boy for months. Found one in the US, in Ohio for $327 on eBay but it was already listed as sold.

I can’t find another one in the US. NY0071-81EE

Does it have to come from the US?
Skywatches out of Singapore has it for $385.
But they're showing it is on backorder.
Does look like they will ship to US

Thank you! I have an issue with my pay pal and credit cards not working out of the us. Tried ordering a strap from masters in time out of Australia and spent hours with my bank and pay pal.

Thanks again and I will take a look. If the site will accept my pay pal and its under $400 I will buy it!

That is a sharp watch! Hope it works out, and please post some pictures if it does.

There are any number of higher end Seiko and Grand Seiko models that I've lusted over including the green dial MM300 SLA019/SBDX021 and the GS Hi-beat SBGH269. Both below.

But I think the number 1 high end Seiko I always think about and lust for is the GS Automatic GMT SBGM221. I'm not so sure it fits my lifestyle, and I'm not so sure I care. I just think it's got classic good looks but also plenty of flashiness. For me it's drool-worthy and I feel like I never quite get it out of my head. In addition to the pics below there is a IG account called watchfiend that has some awesome pics of it.

New to me brand Ophion, a collaborative effort from Switzerland and Germany has me captivated. Fortunately for my bank account this Anthracite dial version is apparently sold out although the blue isn't too shabby. 8-) Actually more reasonably priced than I expected at around $3K.

I like those as well. I saw the reddit post of them today and definitely had to look more into the brand

I've never spent anywhere near $3K on a watch (yet... however I get the feeling it's only a matter of time! :? ), but I have contacted Ophion to inquire about availability of the Anthracite dial version even though it's not currently shown in their online store. :roll: They say admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery!

Those Ophion's look like records. Pretty cool!

Recovery?!? Just embrace the power of the dark side.

I agree. Although, watch out for the $3,000 barrier. When I bought my Speedy last year, it was the first time I spent more than $1,000 on a watch. I've since purchased a Railmaster, Seamaster Trilogy, and Longines Legend Diver...
