Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) offers a vibrant photo essay from a Singapore PuristS GTG, showcasing a diverse array of luxury timepieces. His post captures the essence of community gatherings, where collectors share their passion for horology over fine dining. This article highlights the unique watches present and the camaraderie that defines these events.
The Sea-Dweller reference 116600 marked the return of the 40mm case size for the model, a dimension that had been absent from the Sea-Dweller lineup for some time. This reference reintroduced several classic Sea-Dweller design elements, distinguishing it from its larger contemporary, the Sea-Dweller 4000. It was produced for a relatively short period, making it a notable transitional model within the brand's professional tool watch offerings.
This reference features a stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter and 15.3mm in thickness. It is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel made of black ceramic with a 60-minute graduation. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 3135, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the black dial, which includes a date complication without the cyclops lens, a characteristic feature of the Sea-Dweller line.
Appealing to collectors who appreciate traditional proportions and the technical capabilities of a professional dive watch, the 116600 is recognized for its blend of heritage design and modern materials. Its limited production run contributes to its appeal among enthusiasts seeking a Sea-Dweller with a more classic case size and specific aesthetic details, such as the matte-like black dial and the absence of the cyclops over the date.
Your Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter? Superb array of watches. Best, Nicolas
But you have a great number of collectors present so it must have been a real pleasure to share stories. Wow what a great selection of watches. It is never how big or how many but the quality. Thanks again for taking us with you. Bill
A potent trio indeed. I had a wonderful time - thanks Robin for organizing this! Some truly stunning watches, and a very healthy representation from independents - Moser, FPJ, MB&F. And I was deeply "poisoned" by these 2 sexy FPJs. I was also charmed by the VC "Les Historiques" Chronograph, perfectly sized for me. I was doubly pleased that the VC owner also owns the same Malte Grand Classique as I do - we both found common ground in our mutual admiration of its engine-turned guilloche. Simil
Table shot, why not floor shot? Thanks for sharing my friend... Ron
. . . of the photos you were able to take, Robin. Some of the best ever real time images at an event where the lighting conditions are usually less than optimal. As often said, wish I could've been there. Singapore always parties in style! Art
Thanks for posting, Robin! Marcelo
