The Watch Thread - Part 5

[fade_white]

Of course. Why not?

yes, if its on a NATO strap

I've been to USS in all my mechanical watches. Why not?

Did 6x BattleStar Galactica back to back with my Speedy

When I bought my Monaco many moons ago, it was the only watch I had for a long time. I wore it mountain biking (big crashes where I broke my ribs) all the time. In fact I wore it everywhere except swimming. The shocks it was exposed to were violent and frequent. Those were pre-suspension days.

aHA ... I see. That's good to hear. I thought the shocks might damage the movement somehow. uSS here I come with my seamaster!

Spotted someone wearing a Batman with blue+black nato strap together with blue bracelet! Very nice combo indeed.

Every time I see 556a I heart pain. Miss the below 1k deal.

Missed because of "didn't know till after the deal" or "OOS"?

Just finished packing... Here's a lume shot...

At today's preview of the Tudor Blue Blackbay in Tudor MBS, thanks to the wonder team at Tudor, I managed to get a glimpse of the Blue Blackbay.

I say, the blue leather strap is very unique and goes very well the the watch.

The traditional wristshot with my bosses

Great looking Black Bay in blue! Nice wrist shot of all the watches! Were the two bottom right hands doing the "holding hands" pose?!

Pirated Xiaomis & Sea-Gulls aside, I think the Europeans watchmakers need to be really on their toes before another Quartz Crisis hit them from East Asia..

They will bring it upon themselves when Swatch restricts supply of ETA movement and parts - this will allow the Chinese to create aftermarket parts and truly infiltrate the 3rd party watch servicing market, legitimizing their quality. Its also a matter of time before 3D printing can print parts that can be used in a watch that equals the properties of metals or better e.g. no rust, not magnetisable, self lubricating materials etc.

Very nice! Thinking of getting a heuer myself... Can't decide which one yet!

have you tried heuerville and onthedash - lots of info there.

apart from the normal monaco/autavias there are a lot of funky heuers that may be waiting to be discovered:

Hmmm, i find it looks too complicated leh. Rather save the 600 for another watch.

But after getting the panerai I know a lot of casual/sporty watches will become safe queens.

Looks like a really cool watch. The product video in the website made it even more enticing!

Wonder if the altimeter would work inside an airplane?

nice. citizen doing some great designs lately. return of the watch powerhouse.

this design is complicated and organized, quite a feat, and a big step away from their small text no blank space approach for their other aviation series.

the link says it measures increments of 2.5m ? will be fun seeing this work in the lifts in high rise singapore

should be a no. It get the altitude by measuring the surrounding pressure. so the reading will be inaccurate as aircraft cabin is always pressurized.
