Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I think I'll put it on a leather strap when I get one.
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Don't meddle with the craftsmanship you Viking heathen!
Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 It's quite common in the horological community to switch out the strap/bracelet of the watch, actually.
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Fuck that, stick with what they come with or just buy one with a leather strap man. ORRRR...alternatively, you could ignore what some dickhead on the internet is saying and just do what you want
Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 The craftsmanship doesn't really lie in the bracelet/strap, it lies in the timepiece itself.
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 It's kinda the whole piece i think, try buying a chain for a Breitling and tell me that price don't reflect some kinda quality in the putting together of it. On a side note, I have a watchmaker friend who got a Cartier Jumbo (at least thats what he called it) as payment for repairing some kinda high end watch where the cogs inside it had broken and he was quoted, get this, 8,000 to have it repaired. Tried to swap his Cartier for my Seiko but, oddly enough, he weren't havin' it
Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Never heard of the Cartier Jumbo, but the Cartier Tank is sexy as fuck
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Googled the jumbo, hadn't heard of it myself til today:My old mans got a Cartier somewhere actually, i think I'll have it off him.His ones looks kinda like this: Edited May 14, 2014 by sugaraylen
Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Nice, they look very similar. I generally don't like square watches, but the Cartiers and the Tag Heuer Monaco are gorgeous:
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I dunno man, i can't get over that square shit
Lithium Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) It's the watch Steve McQueen wore in Le MansAnd the watch Jesse gave Walt in Breaking Bad Edited May 14, 2014 by Lithium
magisme Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Picked up one of these today to fuck around with during the summer months.
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It's the watch Steve McQueen wore in Le MansAnd the watch Jesse gave Walt in Breaking BadIf theres one surefire way to sell me on something its telling me it has something to do with Steve McQueen
Lithium Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Did you pull the trigger on that watch yet, magisme?
streak Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I have a TW steel watch. It is a waste of money. Do not buy.they do look nice though
magisme Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Did you pull the trigger on that watch yet, magisme?This one, you mean? Sure did.
magisme Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, that's sick. My Bambino is like a poor man's version of that.
Lithium Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Orient watches are great when you consider how cheap they are, though.I want to get a Timex Weekender as well. It's cheap, cool and simple.
Ace Nova Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I bought an Invicta a few months ago. Very pleased with it so far.
Nosaj Thing Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I own this one:And this one:And this one:I don't actually wear them that much anymore. I don't know why. I don't want to sell them either. I even have them in their original boxes and shit. 1
magisme Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 The Weekender is class. Fan of Tissot too, especially that second one. I have one with a blue dial that I bought a while back. I think I posted it somewhere in this thread. Len loved it. Lith thought it was too busy if I remember correctly. It's a great looking watch and I get a lot of comments about it, but it's not the easiest to tell time on. Come to think of it, I remember P4A or Lio or someone - you know, one of our interchangeable ladies - saying something about how it looked pretty but what time did it say.
