What watch do you wear?

randomshenans · 20 Jan 2015 at 10:18

My first thoughts were no image of actual watch would put me right off. I want to see it in box etc.

Rotty, that's a complete joke! If it was a "cheap" brand then I could kind of expect and suck up, but Panerai? Nah, that's bonkers. I'd be spitting!

I hope they back down Rotty, that's appalling.

My first 'proper' watch

{SAS}TB · 20 Jan 2015 at 11:14

Hmmm,OVM or not to OVM :S

2StepSteve · 20 Jan 2015 at 11:28

They've recently changed the dial on the OVM from black to a dark grey colour, almost charcoal. It was on my want to buy list but the change has made me hesitant. It's upset a few others out there also.

Does any one have any experience with Junkers watches? I quite like the look of https://shop.junkers.de/en/junkers-uhr-6160-5-spitzbergen-f13.html or https://shop.junkers.de/en/junkers-uhr-6060-5-junkers-bauhaus.html but I cant find a whole lot out about it.

Came recommended on reddit a while back, they have some nice watches and that one is especially nice.

It is also specced well for the price:

- 42mm Satin Titanium case
- Sapphire glass
- Automatic Miyota movement (arguably just as good as an ETA)
- Exhibition back
- Power reserve dial

Yep, ive seen that, but not a show stopper for me - I was going to get it as a waterproof daily beater

Panerai claim the fault with my 372 was caused by an impact and not covered by warranty

How they have come up with this I have no idea, it certainly has not had an impact and there is hardly a mark on it

The supplying dealer is speaking to them and another technician will be re examining it

That is bad form. Hope it's sorted to your satisfaction.

This is a pic from a forum member review on WUS (with / without filter) of the v2 grey face

Very very tempted - love them on Natos

Crown & Buckle Nato? Had one just like that on the Orient Mako back in the day, really nice strap!

{SAS}TB · 20 Jan 2015 at 12:24

It may well be - I have one just like it too !

mrk · 20 Jan 2015 at 12:56

How is this for limited edition!

Not really my cup of tea, or anything else

IvanDobskey · 20 Jan 2015 at 13:19

Didn't bother in the end, too many fakes on eBay.

Bought another citizen watch from Beaverbrook's in the sale in the end.

Just hope goldsmiths had a bad batch and I get better luck from Beaverbrook's.

I think ugly was the word you were looking for.

I was being tactful

mrk · 20 Jan 2015 at 13:38

I'd never want one either but that doesn't stop it being rather neat and exclusive

The place is full of divers so there's no need.

Christopher Ward have launched the new Trident. Looks very nice - date window in a sensible place at last.

http://www.christopherward.co.uk/watches/view-all-watches/trident-collection.html

Still ETA for most of the range. Except the C60-42 Trident-COSC 600, which is limited to 300 units and bizarrely doesn't come with a black face option :confused:

Come on guys, a black face, in-house GMT version please.
