      Nice one Sheepdog. I've always liked that little boutique brand and that chrono is a stunner. Going to go look it up now 🙂

        Last night's Tbone timer. I literally forgot I had this one.

            Haven't worn it in a long time, prob over a year or so and it was in the bottom of the old treasure chest. I've had the Doxa for about 10 years now, just forgot about her!

              i can heavily recommend that pelagos (the old, not sure about the new - nice movement, but thicker). superb case, nice size, titan makes it feel great, good pricing.. def a watch for everyday.

                Anyone with experience with Baume et Mercier?

                My wife is eyeballing their Linea line and I kind of like the Classima line for a dress watch

                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                  I picked up the Tudor Black Bay in burgundy today from a local dealer. Paid a bit more than I would have if I had purchased online, but it was good to be able to try it on first, I didn't have to wait for it, the warranty makes me feel more comfortable with the purchase, and the dealer sized the bracelet for me several times until I was comfortable. Not sure if that warrants several hundred dollars, but whatever.

                  Although I like the look of the distressed leather strap better than the bracelet, the strap looked sort of cheap in person. It was clear that the leather was bonded and it looked "loose" in spots. I actually inquired about purchasing the strap separately, and the dealer quoted me $300 for the strap and another $300 for the Tudor deployment clasp! He actually recommended I don't purchase the strap due to the ridiculous cost, and I appreciated the honesty. I figure I can buy a similar strap made from better leather for significantly less than that down the road, and I think the bracelet is more versatile anyways.

                  In any case, I love the watch and I couldn't be happier!

                      @Snowy was looking for a GMT / travel watch a few weeks back. Jaeger LeCoultre have just released one, but he'll need more than a few of my sweet pounds to cover it. :o

                        No self respecting Australian should buy that one- the map only shows the northern hemisphere.  Clear anti-Antipodean bias.  Boycott Jaeger LeCoultre!

                          Not sure how I feel about a close up of my hairy arm, but here ya go!

                          Beautiful watch. Unfortunately it's now sitting in the box waiting for a trip back to the dealer tomorrow. I looked down at about 6:48 and noticed the hands hadn't moved since 6:32. I thought that maybe my life is too sedentary and it ran out of juice, but it's still not moving after a thorough winding. Pretty bummed, but hopefully it's something the dealer can easily fix, or replace if needed. Feeling pretty happy now that I wend the AD route instead of grey market.

                            The watch looks great! Shame there's something wrong with it but yeah, lucky you got it from an ad.

                              Terrific watch Quiose. I hope you can just get a straight replacement from the dealer and get back to wearing the thing. Enjoy!

                                The dealer replaced it with a new watch, no questions asked. Great service. Can't see myself taking a risk on gray market or second hand in the near future after this.

                                It's a great looking watch. I've gotten so many compliments/comments of interest. Sort of embarassed about the attention since I thought it was a conservative choice compared to something like a Panerai (or anything really; only one co workers was familiar with the brand). A few of my co workers have rolexes  and omegas, but I don't really recall seeing too many high end watches in my day-to-day. I guess it validates that this watch is a classic that anybody can enjoy.

                                  Great outcome, love when something that could've been terrible works out great.

                                  Don't own any watches, but see myself as a two watch kinda guy:

                                  Can see myself getting the seiko first though..

                                          @Broark doesn't it bother you that when you wear your watch on the right arm, the crown just doesn't feel right? gotta say that pam111 sandwich dial is a beauty. so is the grand lange.

                                            @louisbosco It can be annoying, but being left handed I don't have many options! I could've gone with one of the left handed Panerais but they were sold out in SG at the time…
