^ thanks for the heads up, link here...

Five off the top of my head are VC 222, Patek 3466, Lange 1815 chrono, Lange 1 time zone, Rolex coke GMT-Master II.
There should be a diver in there though. Maybe a Speedmaster instead of the 1815 (Ultraman perhaps). And a Seiko or GS of some kind. Don’t think there’s a divers watch I like more than the SLA017 in all honesty.
Edit: maybe a vanilla Lange 1... don’t really need two GMTs...

Another for the fantasy shortlist.

Will be interesting to see. Sounds like something that would have suited a dressier watch to me, but it seems fun so why not.

I graduated in graphic design, and my final project was mostly type design. After graduating I worked in print/editorial design and branding (I’ve done a fair bit of logotype and symbol design over the years) and did a bit of teaching but I fully made the jump over to digital design and UX around 2008 and nowadays I work in digital product design, mostly young tech businesses / startups.

Yeah, I think they will. The hands and the dial & bezel typography aren’t for me but that’s personal taste, and me being a fussy little nerd about what letters and numbers look like.

It hasn’t looked oversized in any of the pics I’ve seen, especially for an automatic chronograph with date and 200m WR. I saw Hoodwinkee claim a 49.9mm lug to lug but they didn’t specify whether that was the “proper” L2L measurement from spring bar to spring bar or what a lot of people do, which is measure the whole case from the very tips of the lugs. I suspect the latter.
I think it looks pretty good from the side. The lugs don’t look long to me at all.

Looks like good old parallax error (ie, it's the angle of the photo). Most chronographs suffer from that to some extent because the chrono seconds hand is on top and furthest from the dial. Some will curve the hand down towards the dial to try and mitigate that a bit.

Simply leave them unscrewed. 🙃
Maxon OD-820, tubescreamer style thing.
