What watch do you wear?

Do you have more than one?

Is that resistance slipping a little?

I know people do collect the squadron issued X-33s (because of the custom case-backs) but one's enough for me!

What I really lucked out on was the amount of paperwork I got with it (complete history), and with the original owner being Swiss it went back 'home' to Biel/Bienne for even minor stuff like a battery change.

Steinhart are celebrating 10 years in business and have announced 3 new watches, this solid bronze beast being the main:

Looks amazing. The bronze ages to give unique character apparently meaning all 111 will be individually unique.

Not at all.

My Parnis arrived today, it's my first mechanical watch so thought I'd test the waters first. Initials impressions are good given how cheap it was. The IWC Portuguese will have to wait a while.

Just ordered a Parnis

1-2 weeks delivery, but from a reputable seller, so hopefully worth it!

Ordered two NATO straps as well, navy blue and red, and then red white and blue.

olv, How have you found the build quailty? I've read both good reports and bad.
Any idea on what movement it has?

The strap isn't great so I'll probably swap that at some point but the watch itself seems well made and solid, no obvious faults on the dial or wonky bits. Presumably if you held it next to a proper piece of kit the lack of finesse would be obvious but to me it seems good. I've no idea on the movement, it has lots of spiny bits inside that go round.

All that money when I spent half that on something that feels the same and tells the time the same, you should feel bad!!*

*Obviously just kidding

randomshenans · 26 Jul 2013 at 10:46

Haha mrk, I do like the longines and I'd probably have a conquest myself!

Not worn this for a while so today's watch is my Air Diver.

Best looking watch "in the world" (said in Clarkson voice!).

Dear Dunks,

We have received your payment and will send out the item on 3 Aug. Normally, it takes about 1 - 2 weeks to arrive. We will send tracking number later.

Thank you very much

Such a long wait for my Parnis

Currently nothing. But I need one for paintball that will be able to take a hit and not smash the glass/plastic. Any budget recommendations?

randomshenans · 26 Jul 2013 at 13:09

Omega tbh

Kind of works the other way around, you say a budget and get recommendations.
