The Watch Thread - Part 6

[Henabi]

i can assure you even if you buy a tudor, those poly young girls might not even care.
if you are thinking a watch to impress, poly is a wrong place to.
the best thing to impress people in poly is a car unfortunately.

Not just any car but a FAST one... best one which roars.

then flash your bling watch. Put your BV wallet stuff with cash on the dash board and roar away

No wonder no xmm come to me. I only had a lao pok goods vehicle that beeped when it went above 50 and a digital Timex.

My wallet (can't remember what brand) stuffed with receipts not on the dash board and my jeep went beeping away.

sorry to disappoint you

i love tough movements, and the microbrand divers show that you can do what rolex does with simple three handed movements.

on the chronograph end of things there of course the moonwatch, and the likes of the lemania 5100.

The El Primero is the stand out as it is the first chronograph. Also my first premium watch - the Tag Heuer Monza, - had an el primero heart.

Historically the first chronograph, tough as nails, time proven and beautiful to look at. There's more to the history that I am enamoured with, but that's just me.

For the younger folks, and guys prefering the latest and greatest, the El Primero recently it made news going faster than the speed of sound strapped on a man's arm jumping from the edge of space to earth.

With his Zenith firmly attached to his wrist, Felix Baumgartner launched himself into the stratosphere from a space capsule suspended from a helium-filled balloon. He did so at an altitude of 39,045 meters – four times higher than airliners fly – and at a temperature of -62°C.

When he threw himself into the stratosphere, Felix Baumgartner reached a record speed of 1,342 km an hour, before being slowed down by the atmosphere during his freefall that lasted four minutes and 20 seconds.

He subsequently opened his parachute and landed safe and sound in the New Mexico desert. In all, the jump lasted nine minutes and three seconds, and set three new records: the first jump in history to break the speed of sound in freefall, the highest occupied flight in a balloon, and the highest freefall. The Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th that accompanied the feat was still working perfectly upon arrival after being subjected to massive differences in pressure, temperature, altitude and acceleration.

edit: the one that did it was the Zenith Stratos Flyback, too big for me at 45.5mm.

morning!!!

 

[Paladium]

Notice quite a lot of my bosses who are in their 50s wear beaten Tag Heuers. I guess they got it in the 90s when they were in their 30s just starting to get good salaries when Tag was all the craze. And they look like 1-watch men, wearing them all these years. Now it's the Rolex and Panerai craze....history repeating itself? Haha.

Erm tag not in the same league as rolex.

 

[Paladium]

Nice Submariner no date

 

[josephkjc]

[kiatkiat]

Nice to pick up some history/background of the watch from the forum today. Those knowledge make watch collecting more meaningful
