Watches - another OCD problem

Trooper FTW.

Nice link, thanks for sharing.

Two things: it said the "baddies" get black ion plating.  Why is the C3PO black?  Second, the Storm Trooper is the coolest, but that's a steep price hike over a comparable Seiko.  Not sure it's that cool.

EDIT: I take that back about the price.  It's actually not bad.  I was getting my movements confused.

If you want a robot watch then forget the C3P0 and R2D2 nonsense…

The BMF had been on my list until seeing it in person. It is gigantic. Badass but gigantic. Here is my pick of the day.

Citizen's answer to Grand Seiko…... THE Citizen. Only ws off 1.5 seconds last year.

LOVE both the Explorer and the Citizen! Sometimes I wish I had a bit smaller wrists so I would be comfortable with sub-40 mm watches….

Some nice stuff from Tudor in Basel this year:

Pelagos (in titanium)

Tried this on on my lunch break and I was totally blown away. If I was in the market for a stealthy diver I would have walked away with it. Amazing build quality, extremely comfortable on the wrist and soooooo much better looking IRL than in any of the pics I've seen. The dial is a mattish black with crazy depth in it, the titanium felt heavenly and the bracelet was out of this world comfortable. I feel that Tudor struck a home run with this one. The price is reasonable as well.

And a nice pic:

…and one more, you can really see the solidness of this thing in this one:

Serious watch crush!

I'm old school, I go with this

[BLACKFROSTT]

My 4 1/2 year old daily worn Marathon Chronograph Pilot Watch  (It's a beast!)

I just bought a Feit handmade Bund Strap watchband for it (In naturale)

From the site:
The Bund Strap watchband was first used by WWII pilots because of its insulating properties. The leather band would ensure that the watch face would not freeze or burn a pilot’s wrist as they were exposed to extreme conditions.

blackfrostt yeah bund strap  and nice chronograph

Rolex Submariner out, this one in. It is the second time I own this watch and I am very glad I got it again 

[derivative666]

^excellent choice does not get any better then IWC

[Seul]

Yeah - that's a héll of a watch… How much did that set ya back, davito?..

And I have a question... Link me to a cheap-arse (under 100 € if possible), good quality, sober styled watch with a metal bracelet (NO LEATHER BRACELETS)...

Anything that looks like this (prefer a dark blue dial though), and doesn't cost 400 €...

[davito]
