I saw that a few times and become very gian with the all black one. Felt like getting a 007 just to put on the black bezel but since I don't like the 007 hands and dial, I'll have to mod that too :s13:

Just FYI, Christopher Ward is having a mini sale, some watches are at half price, some nearly new pieces going off at 30%. My most want to buy CW watch (C8 Pilot MKII U2 Vintage) is also at 50% off!! So tempted to buy, especially since I don't have a pilot style in my collection but have to resist..... I think I'll wait for the next 50% off sale, though maybe this is actually a clearance sale and they're coming out with new replacement models lol.

Juz to add.. there's been a very unhealthy undercultutre amongst sales personnel wearing rep watches..

From Courts, Harvey, to Credit Card and all sort of salespersons.. it's either stupid to blow more than 5X monthly pay for a gen TT Sub or stupid to spend hard earned money on illegal reps.

no offense intended to the humble, honest hardworking bona fide salespersons..

I don't think it's stupid to blow 5x pay on a watch... better than blowing 20x pay on a car
I'm a hardworking salesperson and I'm offended.

Ablogtowatch raves about it during its hand-on with the watch. I do agree that it makes a fantastic dress watch, especially since it's ultra slim.

as far as i am concerned, today, all luxury mechanical watches are considered jewelry. they are created to look good and to make people feel good.

they are too expensive and precious to be considered as tool watches - to accept knocks and scratches. in if you own a phone/tablet you certainly don't need the analog time.

and if you need something on your wrist - for absolute convenience and accuracy, it would not be a chronometer, it would be a solar-powered, maintenance free capacitor driven quartz. anything else is a want, because you can - i.e. jewelry.

to like the snoopy, you gotta like the first and standard edition of a speedmaster.

liking a collab is kinda useless if you don't even like the "standard" version of it.

no offence oops. haha

you seem to be very whimsical. 4k is not a small sum of money (this is subjective in the world of horology) and i would spend a few months googling info before dropping it on any one watch.

can't be a few guys online ask u to buy omega then u go buy omega. another few ask u top up to get zenith then u also mindless go do so.

if this is what you're doing, then you're buying a watch just for the sake of owning a relatively expensive one (compared to all the cheap quartz or cheaper automatic ones). you're seeking approval from people who claim to be watch pros or enthusiasts.

Find a watch you like for whatever reasons and buy it. ultimately you're the one owning it and wearing it. if pleasing the world makes you happy then go buy that omega. if you like the tag but don't have the balls to defend your decision to buy it, then you're just a sad case.

how many of us here truly appreciate horology down to the movements etc? undoubtedly quite a few. but how many are just passers-by in the world of watches (and not horology)? If you belong to the latter, then just get whatever you like. it's your money, not ours.
