What watch do you wear?

That's not an RAF strap And you call yourself an Army man?!

It looks identical to the RAF straps (colour wise) that I've seen online. Perhaps my wife's iPad screen is wonky

I love the other two though. Were they expensive?

£7.50 each

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Seems like a bargain for COSC certified watch!

To much money for a tissot, as nice as it is, tissot makes sense in the £200-£400 bracket. That's well into longines territory etc.

RAF straps don't have the metal keepers and are single piece;

Yup, it'll be just as accurate as well, just won't have the expense adding COSC cert.

But the engineering involved in weaving those threads! £399 surely?!

 

[mrk]

I heard they take 9 hours to make each one

Made from the same material used in formula 1 seatbelts.

The metal in the buckle was also used by nasa in the build of the space shuttle.

I hear they use the holes from platinum rings!

I hear they use the holes from platinum rings!

... and the hair of a thousand camels to make one thread!

In Vegas last week I tried on their limited edition MC extreme. The thing is amazing. The detail in it is out of this world. I'd never consider something like that normally, but my god it was just amazing. Pure engineering masterpiece. Bargain at $51k

No doubt about the engineering, but like the HYT watches, it looks like a mess and standing back and looking at the pics, it looks like one of those ebay cheap jobbies.

 

[Cosimo]

Different strokes and all that. But lol at @ $51k for something which makes me want to vomit profusely.

I most certainly wouldn't want to look at something as ugly as that on my wrist everyday.

Ah but you had to marvel at it's impressiveness in the flesh. It is not something that I would go for either, but the working of it all was really really impressive.

Miserable **** bags

 

[mrk]

The HYT looks epic (literally out of this world) in pictures (the movement and how the bellows work), that JLC doesn't have the same wow factor tbh

 

[Cosimo]

Miserable opinionated **** bags

Corrected for you...

Lovely. One for the lottery win, one to aim for....
