What watch do you wear?

[Phate]

Nothing like a bit of cyber peer pressure to wear you down!

EDIT: I should stop browsing this thread. I'm looking at Longines again

 

[mrk]

I know

I'm going to go return the Pelagos later today and get the Sub. Damn them. Why must I be like everyone else.

Well you don't have to be.

The Sub is nicer though

Imo ofc!

Ignore

This is turning into a nerdy watch soap opera. We need to see a watch from someone new!

I'll send you my bank details, once you've made the deposit I'll happily do the honours

I very nearly bought a Breitling Avenger Seawolf when I got in from the pub, drunk, one night... £4K or so if I remember rightly. I don't even wear a watch, I don't like them, but I admired the engineering of it in that it can go to 10,000ft underwater. Glad I sobered a little before I hit "buy".

Heh, that would have been an interesting DSR excuse “I was drunk xD, but please, really, I’d like my money back…”

I can’t stop looking at the Titanium on this, the machining work is so sharp and detailed, the closer I look the more detail I notice. The way the bezel clicks is not like other watches I’ve looked at both cheaper and way more expensive.

The springbar holes to remove the end link at the lugs has a tiny gap though, gonna need an ultra mini removal tool to get in there when I switch between straps at some point. Will have to invest in a decent tool as I can’t be risking slippage with the cheap one I currently have.

 

[Phate]

Or...you could leave the strap on here?

 

[mrk]

Bit irresponsible leaving it here

Just because the bracelet is great doesn't mean I won't be switching it around with the rubber/Nato straps from time to time.

Waits for endless pictures of it on numerous straps.

 

[mrk]

If it bugs you then I'm going to do it

 

[Phate]

"Here"

Bloody keyboard!

Haha, it certainly doesn't bug me. I just don't see the need.

 

[mrk]

There needs to be no need, just a desire!

I don't need to go for a drive along the coast on some weeknights each week, it wastes petrol but I desire it so do it because it's a nice change

Citizen AT4008-51E arrived today

I got the same one last week

I must be considered boring then. Got the same strap on mine that I fitted shortly after buying it

Not just any straps though. It'll need to be shipped overseas with a 3 month turnaround

I love the new Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial.

Case options : Stainless steel, grade 5 Titanium. Liquidmetal, 18K Ceragold and 18K Sedna gold - all with full anti-magnetic movements
Shame there is not a date option though :/

 

[Voxination]

I'll be your way in a couple of weeks, we must catch up and I must check out your piece.

Yes most definitely. Give me a text when you've got some solid dates and we can compare pieces over lunch/a drink.

 

[Phate]

Ok does time for a fun game!

Post your next realistic watch...and then your ultimate watch 'goal'
