            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.

                          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.

                              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.

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

                                      his located in thailand, hope that does not mean anything…

                                      are there anything to look out for regarding the mechanics of the watch?

                                        Thailand is safe.

                                        As far as the technical specs and bits, you'd better ask the seller, and inform yourself about this watch if you haven't already so there are no unpleasant surprises afterwards.

                                            Sorry guys forgot to add any narrative to the rather crappy photo.
                                            Out of the two I sort of prefer the Oris BC3, which is my every day watch, it's got a bit of weight and can take a thrashing, but isn't the best timekeeper.
                                            I bought the Rolex a few years ago when everyone was wearing them, with hindsight I should have got something a bit more individual. Having been through this thread there are some great watches  that I've never come across before. So I wish I had been on the Forum before getting the Rolex.
