          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…

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

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

                            Stop it. Just stop it! I can't afford another watch! That Lum Tec is beautiful!

                              Never liked that date window placement, but otherwise it's a lovely watch.  Been looking for a bronze cased watch for a while now, but have yet to find one that hits on all cylinders for me.

                              My all time favorite Lum-Tec is this one, however:

                              Love the blue face, orange lume combo.  Tungsten case is another one on my "need" list, too.  It just needs a whale penis leather strap. 😛

                                She's not much, but all I've used for the past 6 months solid.  Everything from landscaping, mechanical work in and under cars, warehouse and forklift work, you name it.  Still unscratched somehow.

                                Love being able to see the time in the middle of the night too.  In fact I can use it to guide my way down the hallway it's so damn bright 😉

                                  Chris, Robert Loomes sells a copper cased watch. It might not be your thing, but I'm throwing it in as another option.

                                      Me too. Tungsten is a great choice as well. It will never scratch! My wedding band is tungsten, and it looks exactly the same as it did four years ago when I put it on.

                                        Copper case looks interesting, but I've always had an aversion to the small seconds.  Too bad, because otherwise it's a sweet watch.

                                        I'm kinda rough on watches, so the scratch resistance of tungsten is appealing.  I'm curious about the weight of it, too.  Tungsten is much heavier than steel, and I do like a heavy watch (said the man who usually wears one with a titanium case).

                                          Chris, tungsten is denser than lead. It used to get used in keels for offshore racing yachts until it was banned on cost grounds. I'm sure that it'll be heavy enough for you. 🙂

                                          I took a look around Harrods today. In general it exists as proof that wealth does not bring taste, but the watch room there has a lot of interesting pieces in it. I've been curious to see some of the top-end Maurice Lacroix watches, and they had one in the sale.

                                          It's another interesting piece, and was half price in the sale. The salesman inadvertently put me off when he said that a footballer had been interested in buying it though…

                                          The other piece I liked, which I've seen before, was the Chopard LUC Louis-Ulysee Tribute. It's as big as its name is long, and consists of a white gold pocket watch that clips into a strap to become an oversized (50 mm) wrist watch.

                                          If they did one cased in steel or titanium, rather than half a tonne of white gold, then I'd be very, very tempted. I didn't ask if they'd do a tungsten model for Chris, with optional whale penis leather strap though. 😛
