If you missed out on the first instalment of us rating Post Malone’s watch collection, stop reading and hit this link right here. And, if you haven’t seen GQ’s latest On The Rocks video featuring Posty and his multimillion dollar assortment of timepieces, you can click here. Done that? OK great … let’s, as Malone would say, “get after it”. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5719/10G Rockstar Rating: 11/10 If the previous watches in his collection haven’t convinced you that Malone is getting serious about collecting timepieces, then take a look at his factory diamond-clad Patek Nautilus 5719/10G. This is, undeniably, one of the most baller watches on the planet. We’re talking solid 18k white gold case, full diamond pavé dial with baguette numerals, diamond baguette bezel and pavé bracelet with baguette centre links. This watch has a total of 1343 diamonds that equate to 18.73 carats … oh my goodness! Talk about going hard in the paint … this thing is pure, undiluted flex, and worth well over $600,000 AUD. Richard Mille RM27-01 Tourbillon “Rafael Nadal” Rockstar Rating: 12/10 If the Nautilus above wasn’t absurd enough, how about this incredibly rare Richard Mille RM27-01 “Rafael Nadal”? This isn’t any old Rafa…

Editor’s note: Few other types of watches have transitioned so well from being utilitarian tools into weekend warriors as military-spec watches. Whether it be a broad arrow brandished member of the “Dirty Dozen”, a vintage Tudor Submariner used by the Marine Nationale or even a more contemporary Bremont Broadsword, watches that have been and are used by armed forces are just cool. And their robustness, tactility and ability to look great when paired with a camo green textile strap mark them out as the perfect watch to be worn Saturday through Sunday. A while ago, we took a look at Andre’s vintage Longines Greenlander, and if you’ve got the time, it’s definitely worth a watch. To most people, The Dirty Dozen is the prototypical misfit movie, starring the late, great Lee Marvin. But to watch fans, it’s something else entirely. In watchland, the Dirty Dozen refers to the 12 suppliers of watch, wrist, waterproof timepieces (the WWW engraving on the caseback) to the British Ministry of Defence during World War II. Some of those suppliers, such as Longines, IWC and Omega, are well-known names today, but others, like Timor, Vertex and Grana, are consigned to those particularly brutal pages of…
Recently, Time+Tide put out an Instagram survey asking you, the reader, to express your opinion about wearing a smartwatch on one wrist and a mechanical watch on the other. I was really surprised to see the survey turn out heavily against this practice and here’s why … I like tech just as much as the next person. I’ve got an iPhone, an iPad, a laptop, a connected smart home theatre set-up, and my car can keep me from cutting someone off. I think technology has vastly improved the way we get things done and the speed at which we can accomplish communication. In defence of technology, it’s by and large pretty great. One tech item I don’t possess is a smartwatch. Like many Time+Tide readers, I’ve been resistant to the trend, much in the same vein as a lot of auto enthusiasts are to electric cars. My partner, on the other hand, has wholeheartedly embraced an Apple Watch Series 5 since Christmas. When I asked what she was going to do with the beautiful vintage linen-dial Omega she had been wearing for the last year, she simply replied, “Well, I’ll wear that too!” At first, I was quite sceptical about…
