Watches

It's nice mate.

I've actually gone for this because I can get it for £60. I would rather have a 'proper' watch make but I'll see what it feels like then get rid if I don't like it. As I say, it's only for everyday wear, something light on the wrist and something that I won't be gutted about if it gets bust.

 

I didn't know Stringers made watches?

Anyone know anything about Dreyfuss & Co watches?

 

They any good? Worth the money?

I'm going to get one of these bad boys (Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire):

 

 

Just over £300 using a discount code.

Sent that fossil back, felt quite cheap and the Roman numerals pissed me off. Not a lot of good everyday affordable watches out there to be honest, Seiko have a good rep but all the designs are either bland or mad. I might have a stab at that timex Waterbury.

Have you considered a wooden watch? They are very light, perhaps not your style though...

Nah mate wouldn't be averse though. The problem is there aren't many actual decent watch shops around where you can try things on, tends to be the usual suspects in every city centre selling the same type of stock at the same price.

The missus bought me one as a wedding present, looks boss but it's simply not practical as an everyday watch.

Anyone into G Shocks? Been wanting to get a 'classic' one for a while as they're easier to wear with sleeves and don't look quite as mental. 

 

Torn between the original classic one:

and the updated solar/atomic time one on sale at Argos. 

 

I prefer the simplicity of the first one but it annoys me that it's so dear, they're about £25 in the USA!

was without a watch for about 6 months because my digital Boss Orange rubber strap broke after a few years. so as i still get birthday money like a 12 year old i got this with it. just under 100 sovs

 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Just got this. Not sure if it's a bit ostentatious

 

[Carvalho Diablo]

If you like it that's all that matters. Fuck the world.

[Paulie Dangerously]

True dat!

[Carvalho Diablo]

Care to explain the dial ?

You can set more than one time if you're an international jet setter, which I'm not.

As long as it remains the same time In the Bull and the Wethies you're sound.

The Bull is in the 1970s

Finally settled on this as my new 'everyday' effort. Timex New England. Had it about a week and it's ace, nice and light and well made. 40 notes so not worried about losing/scratching it.

 

[setreal]

This thread was awesome.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Without even looking does it include the Si swapping star wars crap for rolexes, if so agreed.

I can see where they got the idea for the design.

Does it tell you what time of day it is?

Yep.

Not sure yet, haven't quite got to grips with it
