Nice, but I've seen less numbers on a slide rule.

That is very busy.

Rotty · 8 Sep 2008 at 13:50

good price

Gecco · 8 Sep 2008 at 13:51

Thank you Thank you

I'm so happy with it. Will take me ages to figure out the various functions though :eek:

(Crosswind calculations etc etc etc)

This is my first "nice" watch.

Will I have to keep winding it up or is it ok just by wrist movement ?

If you wear it every day it will be fine. If you don't wear it for a couple of days you will have to wind it again.

No offense but thats horrible and no way in the world would I pay £1k for that, I know bugger all about watches but I can barely see the time on that thing with all the other crap it shows :|

Aren't they quite costly?

Never understood people who buy watches like that when they're not nautically-minded themselves. Did you buy it because you actually like how it looks, or did you buy it because you figured other people would recognise what it was and "raise you in their esteem" accordingly? Not trolling, genuinely curious....

He's bought it because it is a beautiful piece of engineering, oozing quality and style of it's own.

Very nice, I like it.

Quoting for truth.

I always appreciated good Watches.

My Dad gave me his very old TAG which I lost when I had a Snowboard accident.

One day this one will hopefully be given to my son.

cheapo ones on Ebay for about 50 quid, decent one ( Rapport ) maybe about £150

You are spending your summers scowering the slopes with a metal detector?

Edit - just realised it's the Bretling you'll be handing down to your son.

Love it, the "busy-ness" of it is what makes it look kinda cool. I got a Breitleing, albeit fake, but its a brilliant fake, looks identical, even has the laser printing on the bottom of the face
