Fwiw I think they look like cracking watches, although the square looking one is the least attractive.Nice simple designs imo and not too flashy looking.
How much are they ?

Nice, but I still prefer the 'Phantom' version with the dark numbering.

Couldn't make my mind up with that one....its more expensive for a start but it doesn't look that friendly on the eyes "readability" wise if you know what I mean.

Gets up pics up of it when you get it. Interested to see what it actually looks like in the flesh as such.

Will do but be warned - my camera is crap - hence a distinct lack of posts from me in the Photography threads here

Hopefully it will arrive Friday/ Saturday by courier.

Get a nice dress watch, and then a £5 casio for when doing activities.

Just get a knock off dress watch.

Out of the two I would go for the second one.

Expect some long-haired metal head to ask for Andy the next time he's in OcUK buying parts. I seriously want to see what these look like in the flesh (so to speak)!

Which one? There are loads

Those watches in the OP are absolutely horrid.

DampCat · 7 May 2008 at 18:54

I like the watches in the OP mate. I havent seen a single watch thread on here so far i agree with. People spending £4000 on the same silver watch with blue background and little glowing bits on the hands.

Why do people say this? Of course it's his opinion. What else would it be?

This is also my first thought when people say "that's just your opinion". Who else's opinion is it likely to be?

They're all good, mine's this one:

33L · 7 May 2008 at 19:52

the original watch looks like something ripped put of a flight instrument panel and not my cup of tea.

God I hate that word, but it's oh so applicable to those two watches.

Agreed, there are loads of generic, crappy looking, goddawful collectors watches that cost thousands and people rave about.

That doesn't remove the fact that the watches in the op are bloody ugly too

Totally agree mate. That's why I went for this one. IMHO all Rolex/ Omega/ Seiko etc.....all the same.....Shiny blingy, rotating bezel (that most people don't actually know how to use [I do actually dive by the way]....water resistant to 300m (so what when the deepest most people go is 2m at their local pool] I could go on but can't be arsed

And don't even start me on the aforementioned watches finished in gold

Its supposed to mate - Built to military spec - designed by Bell & Ross and inspired & tested by pilots and and special forces.
