What watch do you wear?

I like this video

Incidentally the white face watch in the video is the exact one I want to get

Oh you think that video was good?

Sod the machine manufactured > hand helped assembly of Tag, this is proper hand made!

I have a Tag (Quartz) Link Chronograph and I love it, primarily because it's got the best bracelet strap I've ever had. But I've always hankered for one of their Automatics especially with the glass back. I know there are better watches, but I like the way Tags look.

What do people think of this:

The brown face and side profile and the way the strap sits under the casing giving the floating on top look is what I really like.

The spec looks really good too.

Nobody told me about this bug!

I'm getting really tempted by a Seiko 5...

mrk · 10 Feb 2013 at 04:42

Do it!
They look great with a leather strap and can't wait to put mine in one when it comes back!

That Xetum is really nice but I can't help but think it's overpriced for what it is and it's the uniqueness and design that's commanding that cash.

You win!! Awesome video. How much is that watch anyway?

mrk · 10 Feb 2013 at 12:45

6 figures if I remember right!

Mrk it has probably been stated earlier on but how much was the orient?

I'm looking for an every day watch to take some strain off my prc516 and the orient looks to be a bit chunkier that the sieko's.

mrk · 10 Feb 2013 at 15:22

I got it for £104 inc next day del otherwise it would have been under £100, gone up to £112 last I looked though on Amazon. It's a bit chunkier than the Seiko 5 yeah but it's not overly large like some other divers watches, With the Nato strap it's a nicer fit as well and slims it down quite a bit as the bracelet is about 3mm thick.

I know I've mentioned it a couple of times already in this thread but if you want an Orient I'd strongly recommend getting it from here:- http://www.orientuhren.de/orient-au...-p-158.html?osCsid=hsgks0j9on54q99rrlacc1pov1

After EUR to GBP conversion plus shipping it will be ~£100.

What is the "Deep" model? That's just the Mako right? *saves store link*

Just bought a jaeger le coultre reverso as a present for my dad, should be arriving in next couple of days, excited and hoping in good order.

Stu @ MSD · 11 Feb 2013 at 01:57

I have worn my 2009 polished stanless Blackbird big date 365 days a year for over 3 years now, be it work, racing or diving, faultless piece of engineering.
Love it.

I love how watch says its capable witholding 300m of water, question is... when will you dive to 300m ?

As my watch was an engagement present the wife has told me I am not allowed to wear another watch for the rest of my life, yet I have still got the bug!

Cant stop looking at this page and I am so tempted by a seiko 5.

teenwolf · 11 Feb 2013 at 08:07

A Ben Sherman that the wife bought me years ago.

Man-Meat · 11 Feb 2013 at 08:09

I don't wear a watch. They really annoy me and get in the way. Shame though as i like how they look on people.
Can be ridiculously expensive too, for some reason.

sunny007 · 11 Feb 2013 at 08:41

Bought a new watch:

Seamaster 300 M Chronometer

50M Max for me, but its nice to know if it all goes wrong and I sink to the bottom of a 299m gulley in the north sea, whoever finds me wins a working watch for their efforts.
