It's a Frankenstein, built for me.  Early 2000's case, with a vintage 321 movement and a Japanese racing dial....

Three of my favorite things in one shot. My watch, my IH634-XHS, and my GTI seats.

Agreed!

By the way, I knew I liked you. You have good taste  8)

It’s an ‘18 S, MK7.5. My third GTI :) My first one was an ‘04 MKIV, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Nope, as @steelworker says, for that sort of money I'd want some radioactivity included  :) :)

Longines have just announced a reproduction of their Ultra-Chron Diver's watch from the sixties.

"Longines Ultra-Chron"

It sounds like an interesting piece, because rather than just slapping in an ETA, they've got an extensively modified version. It now runs at 5 Hz, rather than its original 4 Hz, and is regulated to run within a couple of seconds a day.

Prices start around $3000, and Monochrome has the best write-up.

I'm a sucker for a vintage inspired diver, or in this case, a straight-up reproduction. It's gorgeous, and the high frequency is a really interesting feature. I wonder how that will affect the service interval.

Yeah, I like that very much. Longines is on a roll: its recent GMT release is also interesting.
