On some of the new models Breitling has started using slanted numbers again. Not my cup of tea..

Anyone here has an Archimede watch that can share their views?

I'm considering the Pilot XLH.

I don't wear this one very often so when I had it on a couple days ago I decided I'd take a quick shot of it.
Jii, love the Breitling BTW.

Sorry for spamming, but I think this is the nicest photo I've ever taken of a watch..

Can't go wrong with Seiko. If you're into more classic divers watches the SKX007 is a benchmark as well. Click here for a good review with beautiful pics.

damn Jii…that´s what i´m talking about
thanks lad.

Also worth considering is the Orient Mako (click here for a review)- for the money (less than $100), I don't think you can get a better automatic watch.  It is easily on par with watches 3 or 4 times more expensive.  It also has one of the best looking blue dials I've ever seen.

yay/nay? been looking for a vintage-ish watch that's below $200. i have no experience with buying 2nd hand watches online. what do I look out for?

I would trust that seller: good feedback, good pics, specialises in watches.
