      That Tissell is ballsy…they even call it a Sub... [emoji47]

      I thought the same thing. What's funny is there are tons of small boutique (and big box) divers for around the same amount of money and Heddels picks an uninspired Sub clone.  [emoji51]

        @neph93 My wife gave me a Khaki manual winder for my wedding gift and given the chance I'd buy another one in heartbeat. I really, really like the look of the Pinion Atom but a miyota in a watch near a thousand bucks? I admit I haven't been following watches as closely as I used to (and may be wrong), but I'd expect something a little better for that kind of money. I've been checking out the Monta Triumph which is a bit more money than the Pinion but looks a bit more bang for the buck. Also worth checking out are the ready to order watches by MKII. I have a Hawkinge and it's excellent.

          I’ve said it a few times before, Hamilton makes a great time piece for the price. I’ve had two x-wind khakis and I loved them both.

          Great watch for a great price and I think the perfect piece to “dip your toes in the water”…

            If I was looking at spending $1000, I'd try to get another $500 and buy a Nomos Club Campus.

            At 36 mm, it's a very small watch, but it'll be fine when you get used to it. If not, @Anesthetist will steal it off you. 😛

              Interesting. I like the design and finish of the case and lugs, but the mix of arabic and roman numerals is upsetting me…

                @neph93 there is a version with just Arabic numbers.

                  Now that is lovely. Thanks Graeme.

                  EDIT: although upon looking closer, the 40mm self winding automatic version would be my choice. At twice the price of course…

                      I prefer to think of a 36mm watch as “classic” @Graeme. I need another Nomos in my life!

                        @neph93 if I was spending twice as much, I'd be tempted by a Tudor Black Bay 41 or Ranger instead.

                          My new dive watch arrived. It’s a German-made Damasko Dsub1.

                          I love the fact that the date window is offset at 4 o’clock while keeping the numbers horizontal (and I hate that they’re so small I can’t really read them…)

                            i'm really falling more in love with this pinion the more i see it. should i make this my goal for this year instead?! it reminds me so much of my Pam, especially the 3,6,9 font..

                            just realised after checking today that it's extinct. totally forgot about that… i'll have to keep on lusting... 😞

                                  It turns out I was mistaken, any way. New version is a looker too, though.

                                      According to Hodinkee, the mechanical model uses an ETA calibre, whereas the cheaper quartz uses a Ronda movement.

                                      They're available with a black or white face, and there's a huge selection of straps to choose from.

                                            I’ve been wanting that watch! The white face appeals to me a bit more. But I didn’t know Macron wore one…that’s interesting
