Watches - another OCD problem

@Chris:

My biggest issue with the company is that they mimic Rolex styling far too closely for my preference.

or IWC at that too. one of the few watches i cherish dearly..

The guy who made my strap (Toshi) put this picture up on his site. It's one of the first Typhoon straps he made, with butterscotch stiching on a Tudor Bronze Bucherer.

I think the whole thing looks rather nice…..

Bronze watches are cool.

I've been really happy with my Steinhart as well. Definitely seems like a great choice in their price range.

+1 on Toshi Straps - not cheap but superb build quality imo

Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona Sells For $17,752,500, Becoming The World's Most Expensive Wristwatch Ever Sold.

I know that there's a massive demand for stainless steel Daytonas, but that price is ridiculous!

1. Just saw that news on the 'Dink when I checked my email… Nuts! I was ballparking it around, say, $5M to $10M but then again this is the watch that got the vintage Rolex frenzy pushed over the edge so I guess it makes sense.

2. Here's my 1972 ref. 1601 "Wide Boy" that I totally love. Picked up from the guys over at HQ Milton in San Francisco.
