Watchfinder seem to be stockpiling Ice Kings and Greens... how come the green one didn't get a name?
Spoilt for choice here... Glassbox Carreras

·I remember these, back from the good old days when glassboxes had the proper logo. Good stuff, good stuff indeed.

·And, inexplicably... the green F1

·I did, and indeed do, really like the teal glassbox. It's certainly different and I think it's quite unique in the Carrera line-up. If it hadn't been for the panda, I would probably have one by now. I did once try and do a deal to exchange my Ice King for one but the guy wanted too much money on top. I was prepared to pay more, but not over £1k more. No nickname I'm afraid - I just called it the teal version.
As for that green F1, I like the colour and the way the watch looks and feels on that rubber. I am tempted but will only buy one at a stupidly low price, hence I keep an eye out but it's not a must have.
The watch that's top of my wishlist right now, as you suggest, is the new Skipper. But I am biding my time on that one also. Basically, having moved house recently, I can't afford to drop a large amount on another watch right now.

·I do think the teal one was one of the better releases. Not one I'd have unless I had so much excess funds I could buy anything I want, though

·Because @Jim Dollares never bought one. The Silver Carrera 160th is the only watch (not even glassbox) on this forum that is more often referred to by a member's nickname rather than its real name.

·It was going to be the Ice Queen upon my suggestion but Jim thought it should have a masculine pronoun.

·In my opinion, the red dial glassbox is more fit for a queen. His and hers glassboxes. Don't get me wrong, both super sexy ofc.

·The red ones dont pop up for sale as frequently as the teal right? Which one do you prefer?
I like the teal better, but red would likely be my choice given the heritage color.

·Or, as a fan of Bruce Dickinson, I may call it King in Crimson.

·I'd have to respectfully object, Doc! I would prefer the name that was briefly mentioned (if I recall correctly), the Crimson King. 😁
