The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Giles]

I dislike the concept, but like their namesake, they are, in my admittedly biased opinion, beautiful things.....

Now, for some real......

[Mr Linz]

@goosehd It's nice that they've used the automatic movement in this one, whether that's worth 150 extra bucks more than the Moonswatch I'm not sure...

I'm a little torn on this one. I think it's cool that BP gets some love and that'll help others find the brand. But the design of the watch doesn't get me super excited. Maybe the blue or white one will look good in the plastic...

@Giles that Fifty Fathoms is a lovely piece.

@Mr-Linz you could always save up for an original!

[ddtrash]

@Giles I agree, it is tightrope act they are walking in my opinion, they could easily start cheapening / diminishing their own brands if not careful with these kind of releases.

I hope this is not the thin end of the wedge.

[Mr Linz]

@Graeme Definitely better to go with the original! It's a lovely watch but it doesn't speak to me that much. Maybe a vintage one...

I think I will be giving the queue for Swatch Blancpain a miss!

[Mr Linz]

@IH-GARY Wow! Forget that noise...

[louisbosco]

I disliked the omega Swatch a lot because it was a quartz movement. but now that this is an automatic movement (albeit, nothing to scream about), I don't know how I feel about it. kinda like it, kinda don't

Seiko prospex scuba sbcm029. 8f35 Movement. I like it

[Anesthetist]

@Eisenherz those have gotten pretty collectible and for a good reason. You wear it well!

[Cutlasshound]

Seiko mod that recently picked up. I really like it. Very well finished.

[Giles]

@Cutlasshound Seiko, Nautilus with a Aquanaut dial. It works!

Now that I’m not in a city that’s sells them I kinda want one.

I may have posted this before, but can't be bothered to look the treat through.

Been wearing this Seiko Mod, that I bought a few years back, the last few Days.

Fall means time to put the ol leather nato on there. Got some 16oz SBG and 18oz vintage in there too. This is essentially my daily uniform.

Islander x The Urban Gentry "Rangemaster Mechanical" Field Watch.

A bit small in my wrist, but I like it.

[IrishHeart]

I came across the brand Studio Underground today. The watches look interesting and have had good reviews.

I don’t have the technical ability to upload pictures but here’s a link for anyone interested.
