Lol it's not even a real diver.

[fevr]

Any of you bros see the new X-33 Skywalker

I wanted to get another Rolex next but if I can buy one of these through the military pilot discount program like I could my other X-33 it might have to wait.

Damn, sexy!

Lol it's not even a real diver.

this you?

[HalfieLuke]

What do you guys think of the AP RO Ultra Thin? It's sporty enough to be a casual watch but thin enough to be a dress watch, which makes it my grail.





Anyone else?

Didn't know this existed...fuarkin sexy

...just looked up the price. oh lawd.. 'soon' not even

Yes! Amazing watch, really great. Nicer than the first gen x33

[Busch12]

Beautiful. How large is it? I've been looking for a nice 42mm Sub-style watch, but they all seem to stop at 40mm.

41mm

Depending on your price range steinhart's ocean 1 series comes in at 42mm.

[ScudBro]

Spot the watches

Spot the watches

I see them, but the way they're just floating on severed forearms is a bit creepy.

[jericho89]

I just got my first diver in the post today.

My favorite part about getting a new watch.... trying on different straps



Haven't seen the BB with an isofrane before. I quite like it.

[tnucpuncher]

^I like that setup, should keep it like that for a while!

[MartyrMoose]

Been looking for a nice dress watch to go with formal occasions, settled and narrowed it down to this beauty. Before I pull the trigger in the next coming weeks what are your thoughts:

Tissot Le Locle T41.5.423.53

that is a fantastic and classy watch. it houses a time-tested ETA movement that will be very accurate and should give you many years of enjoyment should you take care of it.

isn't it under five bills?

Looks great! Looks like a real dress watch, so elegant with roman numerals, and the colour of the bezel. Wouldn't mind having one, if i were to dress up more often.


Also, finally BOUGHT the Orange Monster!

BUT, wont wear it or see it until the end of my last exam...

Originally planned to purchase it on the day of my last exam for it to have sentimental value - the end of university studies, but in recent weeks i just cant take it anymore; im wasting so much energy thinking about buying it, checking the website daily to see if its still in stock etc. Might as well just get it done. When it arrives, I wont be unboxing, will be giving my girlfriend to hold on to it until the end of uni (she will open and check if it works).

Sounds silly, but it will also give me a chance to work on my self-control skills lol. And i still have my first watch - orient ray, which i would like to give more wrist time to.

[yushhh]

^^ Lolol TMRL. I know the feel of obsessively looking at watches, so I could imagine knowing exactly which you want

[kevin1645]

Saw your speedie on watchrecon, yushhh. Any idea what model you're looking to get in its place yet? An even-numbered strap width model, no doubt?

Cheers for the approval,

Unfortunately, Tissot issued two versions of the Le Locle:

The Le Locle Gent Automatic (the one I posted) >$500

and this is the one you're referring to:
Le Locle Gent Automatic COSC Certified ~MUCH more expensive


I would invest in the one that came first place in the COSC tests, but I don't know why they changed it from Roman to Arab numerals, and I'm much fonder of the roman numerals

[Fernizzle]

i actually was referring to the gent. the chronometre, while interesting, does not seem worth double the price of what you are looking at.

and i agree on the dial style, roman beats arabic in this case.

Quartz or mechanical? Mechanical
Sporty, formal or casual? Formal/Casual
Simple or complicated? Simple
Budget? ~$750
What watches have you already seen that you like the look of? Dark leather band and light face/bezel pref, no glow in the dark bs.
Complications? No preference

Edit: Thinking back, I've always loved rose gold accents on light watches - a perfect example:

My suggestion is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic...nice looking watch that's around your budget.

[GabrielNovar]

any reputable places to buy watches online?


looking for a david yurman one but can't find anywhere

Great suggestion

Excuse the potato pic. 007 on a Maratac nato. It's been on my wrist for almost 12 hours and running at +/- 0 seconds right now. Really glad I got one that seems to keep great time. Had a hell of a time trying to get the oyster bracelet installed, think I might have to take it to a shop.

[TexasBrah]

Awesome watch. I got one in for the store and it's a quality piece. Can't say enough good things about Tissot.

[yushhh]

Hey guys, my buddy is looking for a watch. He saw an IWC pilot style chronograph and fell in love. His budget is like $400 or less, so Sinn is out. Any options?
doesn't necessarily have to be chrono i don't think. he'd prefer an automatic, but i don't think quartz is a deal breaker. he likes his watches bigger, so 42mm+.

-$400 or less
-aviation style (like IWC and Sinn)
-automatic preferred, quartz acceptable
-chronograph preferred, not necessary
-42mm or bigger
-on leather or bracelet
-black dial

similar to this.

[NonPhixion67]

Orient Mako Rubber Strap from Amazon for $99 with a black and gray zulu nato strap for $15





It's my first automatic. Chit keeps dying on me when I sleep and the second hand changes every day. +/-5 sec one day +/-25 sec the next. But I I think that's normal for automatics and I don't really mind it because it's just my first. Looking at a Vostok Amphibian or Submariner homage for my next watch.

[E90LCI]

What do you guys think of this? For a casual and going out watch

Orient Flight? 42mm, less than $200

http://orientwatchusa.com/collection...sport/er2a004d

Laco also makes some nice pilots, from $400 and up, 42mm


And a nice cheap chrono: Seiko SNDA (40mm tho)

Rose gold would not be my choice for casual, personally. But that's just me. Depending on where going out means, that might work. But it looks more bulky and casual than dressed up IMO, but the color just isn't casual IMO again.

If that was a silver cased watch, definitely would look like a great sporty/casual watch.




Edit: oh nice, fishscale! I completely forgot that one. I've showed him maratac, some of the Hamilton khakis, and even a modded Hamilton pocket watch. Repped.


Any others?
