Watches - another OCD problem

[marco]

Beautiful Calatrava G, you should put it on a nato and wear the shit out of it

heres what i wear most of the time, a MkII backwater based on the Benrus type 1 jungle watch.

Any Bremont fans on here?

After a long spell flipping various watches, eventually settled on this Supermarine (sorry for crap iPhone pic) and a silver dial ALT1-C.  They're a superb second-hand buy IMO, seriously well put together.

Wouldn't call myself a fan but they make some interesting models - that looks good

The Supermarine looks really cool in black.

The one I want is their pocket watch, which unfortunately isn't in production. They made a couple, and one went to Prince Philip. Another is on display in their showroom in Mayfair.

@tigerpac:

A good local watchmaker can save LOTS of headaches.  The problem is finding one.

I found one up the road (www.watchworks.co.uk), it is being fixed (hairspring problem).

^^^ ha is that in Bristol? I used to take my Rolex to Rocco and he was brilliant, your in safe hands.

[hectic]

Yeah man. Good to know, thanks.

I am. Don't have much knowledge on watches but I've read that Seiko is a good brand and its in my price range.

[seanocono]

You certainly get a lot of watch for your money with Seiko.

If I were to go for a Rolex, I think I'd want a Sea Dweller, like this one

Although, I have to admit, this special edition Deepsea is pretty choice, too

I did some training with Patek Phillipe in NY, and they were the only company that I have ever come across that required their watchmakers to make their own screwdriver tips out of brass.  It was a pita because brass is so soft, and you are constantly having to reshape the drivers for the screw slots, but there is a reason the movements look so clean
