      It'd be kinda cool if the jaw chimed but in the end a costume watch like this seems like something you'd pick up from Fossil.

      Think it, be it.

        New watch day. Just got the bracelet sized. This is a limited edition of the Marinemaster.

          @mclaincausey I don't mind the Bell & Ross being a bit costume. It appeals more than a lot of the vintage styled pieces that the watch manufacturers are pushing out.

          What puts me off is that the case could be sharper. If you look at something like a Ploprof (in the same price bracket), it looks much more machined, and the finishing is a lot better.

          @JDelage that Marinemaster looks lovely.

              That's a nice piece @Giles. Have you seen Monochrome's article?

                  Omega have announced the Railmaster Denim, which adds a blue dial and denim strap, and replaces the vintage lume with white.

                  I'm a bit in two minds about this watch. I like denim, and I like the Railmaster, but it's maybe a bit too much. A tan leather strap might tone it down, and blue dials are pretty cool right now.

                  However, it would allow for watch fades! 😛

                    I like the dial, but then I've always liked blue dialed watches.  I'd bin the strap the first second I could, though.  Gimmicky crap, as far as I'm concerned.

                      I like it, and it looks like the strap is leather-based, so it should be durable enough. Not sure I see the point of the 2 retainers though.

                        Railmasters come with metal bracelets for like a $200 premium right? It'd be pretty dumb not to go that route and grab other bracelets aftermarket IMO.

                        The face is nice but the best one IMO is the dark one with the amber markings.

                        Think it, be it.

                            I officially stopped Ranting about every new Crappy Release of Omega, i cant keep up with the weekly Relase Schedule, that is too fast Fashion for me.

                            The Seiko Marinemaster ist just Stellar, that is imho one of the nicest watches out there, not only in its Price Range but in every Price Range.

                              Wow, that's a cool way to adjust time: unlock and rotate the bezel.

                                Just been reading a review of the Pinion TT on Fratello Watches. What really jumped out at me was this shot of the dial, which looks so clean, and that awesome, bent GMT hand.

                                    The Titanium on the Pinion looks really cool, I orderd myself a Titanium Mug a couple of days Ago just for the looks  😃

                                      Thinking about changing the NATO strap on my Steinhart Vintage as seen below

                                      To this Strap. Thoughts ?

                                        When I was into watches Squale and Glycine I preferred in the sensible price range.
                                        Not rare by any means but I found Steinhart, Seiko, Hamilton and CW so common on watch forums that it was like everyone had the same watch.

                                          I like NATO straps better in general, but in this instance, I think your proposed switch is the better of the two options.
