MWC - Official Misc Wristwatch Crew Part VI: Patek or Bust - READ the OP

[BioDiver]

How the fuk did this picture make me go from not wanting a Breitling to scrolling chrono24 for Navitimers.

Because the Navitimer is hands down their best watch.

[EdmundGTP]

Ditto to that. That's about the only Breitling I'd ever consider.

Used to be a much bigger Breitling fan. Can't say I find much of anything they produce these days appealing. Probably something to do with evolving/maturing tastes. Navitimer is and will probably always be a classic. Bout the only other Blingling I'd give consideration to these days is the titanium Chrono Avenger made from 01-07. I've seen them listed second-hand for well below 2K, and it'd make for an great beater at that price point IMO.

[Evad3]

Hope everyone is doing well! Looks like some very nice acquisitions lately, congrats!

My money has been occupied with a recent house purchase and renovations so nothing new to report here

(Not a recent pic but it's all I have at the moment on my laptop)

do you guys use anything to protect or clean leather straps?

Same stuff you'd use for leather shoes....

Getting a Batman Deep Blue master 1000, wanting a diver to replace my scuffed Orient Ray for a while now.

Got it on a bracelet for 83$ extra, a 40% discount as well. Which totals me at 250$ including the 50$ shipping. (US to EU within 2 days)

Honestly if anyone of you guys are looking for a cheap/good diver. Do consider, they have a lot of colourschemes, I'll update you guys with my own pictures as soon as I get it though.

1000FT/330M Water resistant

Caliber Seiko NH 35 Automatic Movement (Hacking)

Wife asked me wtf the HRV does on my PO. I explained, and she says "you dont even wear that thing in the shower"

I laughed

[Venom08]

I took my Omega PO in the pool a few times, it's cool but I'd rather not **** it up lol.

[VabaX]

if any diver is getting fuked up just by going in the pool or shower, then it's already broken

That watch was built to be submerged lol. Just rinse it off after and it's fine.

[BigRangs]

This. It's like being scared to take your goggles or swim suit into the water. The watch was literally designed to do it.

[Aggressive]

Finally. Was torn between the blue and black in pictures. After handling both at the AD, black is definitely the slicker, more versatile looking watch. Plus the black date wheel on the blue face irked me. Both beautiful watches otherwise. Got a nice discount too surprisingly (just over 8%)

Bro....8% is not enough. I got 25% off from an AD for a planet ocean.

Congrats! She's a beauty.

Congrats m8, looking good.

But he's a UK brah.

ah really? lol. I was seeingg 5% thrown around for this one on other forums I thought 8 was good. Oh well, no ragrets.

Thanks brahs, wanted this watch since I first saw it in Bond around 1997. Soo happy to finally own one

[WillBrink]

No discounts in the UK? 8% off a Rolex is a good deal. 8% off MSRP on an Omega, is a terrible deal.

eh, I went in prepared to pay full, hoped for 5% and got 8% so was a nice little bonus for my first REAL watch

[Singularity7]

Legit one of the reasons why i got the same Omega you have as my first enthusiast watch srs.
Looks slick and legit wear it with everything no ****s given.

[1fast1]

Picked up another Linde Werdelin to go with my Oktopus Moon Tattoo. This one is also limited to 59 pieces and is the Oktopus Moonlite. Got some wrist time with it at the beach over Labor Day.



edit:
the lum on this thing is on another level....this was after literally just from walking outside to check the mail.

[NuggzTheNinja]

Grats on the SMPc. Love it.

Just got back from vacation with the lady.

It's your $ brah, but you may wanna do some research in the future if planning to buy another watch in the future. Personally, have no issues paying for a great time piece, but I don't throw $ away I don't have to. Enjoy the the watch, they make great stuff.

[Evad3]

Congrats on the SMP! I had the black wave dial one a few years ago, great watches for the money. And 8% isn't too bad, had you really pushed you maybe coulda got a few more % but no big deal IMO.
And you certainly won't be getting anywhere near 8% off any popular SS Rolex the way the market is here, can't speak for Omega, but around 10% from an AD doesn't sound bad

[WillBrink]

I present to you the 7k G Shock. No thanx Jeff:

Any Panerai owners here?

I was thinking of adding another Rolex to my collection - thinking of a Datejust, or something non-diver like a field watch but lately I've become kinda of wrapped up in the design of the pam00392.



I just don't like the 100m rating as I'd prefer at least 300m. The Pam 00104 would probably be my next best choice. But the thinner lines of the 1950 Luminor are more aesthetic.

Honestly never understood the appeal of of those things, esp with the price tag.

[UACdarknova]

You're not wrong about the price. I wouldn't pull the trigger on any unless I got the AD down to a sizable discount.

Also I used to hate them too. But something about them has grown on me. I can't even explain what it is.

I never understood them either until I owned one. I really only like models with the 1950 case though. I don't have mine any more but have been tempted for a while to get another one.
