      For sale on Styleforum - really liking it… Like it more with the black dial, but actually in this colourway it would go better with jeans (man's gotta think like that when hooked on IH gear)...

      Should I?.. Should I not?.. Anyone know the brand?..

        Watches are another weakness of mine…

        Raymond Weil makes solid watches, from what little I know of the brand.  I like the style of this one, and I've always loved the jumbo date window.  Quartz movement, I assume?

          Gonna buy a croc strap for it though… Made the guy an offer, we'll see... Quartz movement indeed.

          It's new, with 21 months of warrant to go, w/ papers and box. For 50% of the rrp. Can't really go wrong...

            Nice pick up, Seul, I reckon. Let me know if you want any suggestions for strap websites.

                Sounds good.  Hope you enjoy it; watches are fun and the great thing about them is that there's something out there for every style and occasion.  That one is a good simple watch that can be dressed either up or down and still look appropriate.

                  What's the big difference?.. In terms of quality, I mean. Future resale is n/a here as I will probably give it away to family if I decide to buy another watch…

                  Oh: and it hàs a croc strap. Nice!..  😘

                    Watch freaks are a weird breed, they really get off on the pure mechanistic qualities of an auto. I think that the there is a feeling that coupling a low cost quartz movement with a high end brand has a demeaning effect. Notwithstanding that the average auto movement in mid-high range watches is a generic ETA movement that probably costs $100.

                    Quartz makes a lot of sense, from an accuracy POV, and also from a pick up and go - i.e.: you wont need to wind it.

                    I'm not a snob about it, just thought it was worth a mention.

                                  Yay, awesome! That's an older model than mine I think, I think I prefer it with the exposed titanium. Have you seen the latest incarnation:

                                      Yeah, I fondled it at the G-Shock store in London the other day, it is nice but it is also 500 quid.
