New watch

[Skidder]

I honestly don't get why someone would need to spend so much on a watch, or well any fashion item ( spending so much on a watch is not a functional thing, the same functions could be provided by a 50 € watch).

I mean sure, it looks okay, but spend thousands for THAT .

Oh well perhaps I'm just too poor to understand .

You have to love watches, as timepieces and in terms of their engineering - if you donl't it clearly makes no sense, if you do they are fantastic enduring things, interests, hobbies.

Looks very nice, especially against some of the other expensive watches posted on the forum.

whats the 0 and 30 mean?

 

[Rotty]

whats the 0 and 30 mean?

on mine the dial rotates from 0-30 in white and then again in red ( 30-60 ) so with the white halfway across it is at 15 seconds and at 45 with the red half way across

ah ok, seams a little redundant with the second hand on the main face though

The second hand on the main face probably only rotates when you're using the chronograph.

i thought All Chronographs did that?

Mine does this, but I assumed it was to save power, Citizen eco-drive and all.

I'm not really a watch buff, but I love it.

Not another dive watch without diving features is it?

Looks suave, but the sort of thing I'd end up tearing off with those big lugs on the side, and if that's a rubber/plastic strap it'd dissolve.

Shall be sticking to solar power for now.

I love this watch. What model is it?

Spie has too much money. Give me your 997 turbo, mate?
