      @seanocono:

      Nice watch.  I say go for it.

      @Friday:

      Go for it if you like it. Tough watch and good looking.

      I am. Don't have much knowledge on watches but I've read that Seiko is a good brand and its in my price range.

        You certainly get a lot of watch for your money with Seiko.

          If I were to go for a Rolex, I think I'd want a Sea Dweller, like this one

          Although, I have to admit, this special edition Deepsea is pretty choice, too

            I did some training with Patek Phillipe in NY, and they were the only company that I have ever come across that required their watchmakers to make their own screwdriver tips out of brass.  It was a pita because brass is so soft, and you are constantly having to reshape the drivers for the screw slots, but there is a reason the movements look so clean

                            Nice! I've always liked Damasko, and the full lume face is super cool.  Does that one have the new in-house movement?

                                  I had the black-faced version of this watch a couple of years ago, at the height of my WIS phase - absolutely superb build quality, that case hardening really is the nuts.

                                    I found a Blancpain Aqua Lung today. 😘

                                    I've been eying up watches recently because I'm not really that happy with how my Breitling is behaving, but not a lot appeals. Well, apart from the WW2 German piece I posted earlier. This one, however, is special.

                                    Must get saving…

                                      That one is nice.  I love the jumbo date feature; I wish more manufacturers would make watches with it.

                                      Wonder if you can get a whale penis leather strap made for it, you know- to really add something special…

                                        Then you could rub you whale penis on unsuspecting ladies

                                          OK, I've found another, the Hermes In The Pocket watch.

                                          I'll have to check on the whale skin options for Chris. 😉
