lets talk watches

is that solid gold?

The lighting makes it look like it might be plated.

Looking for a quality thick NATO - already have a standard NATO but was looking for something a bit more substantial - Any makes out there????

[ericdw]

natos are natos, don't really come in different thicknesses. some of the regimental straps are on the thin side, but if you have the standard, that's about it. try a zulu if you want something thicker

the straps i have from gnomon are way better than straps i've gotten from jcrew, fwiw. the j crew ones turn my skin green where the keepers are. gnomon ones are unstoppable. i wish i could easiy swap out the bracelet on my air king so i can rock it with his nato

What makes you say that just out of curiosity?

[MilSpex]

put a NATO on my sub, dont think I`ll go back:

[BBSLM]

Really liking this. Any recommendations for a more affordable alternative?

[arcanum]

My Panerai, i kinda regret buying it, should have gone with rolex submariner.

[Daaave]

Why the regret, that's a pretty nice watch? If it's just regular buyer's remorse then you'd probably be posting about how you should have picked the Panerai

[Happy Hooligan]

I think the sub is more timeless than the Panerai.

In 20 years the Sub will still look modern, but the Panerai will look out of date. Like a brown GMT, or oversized oval cases from the 70's....

Still a nice watch, don't get me wrong, But imo it's going to be dated.

I second the notion of the submariner. But still lovely.

well said

Unfortunately, I've never really been that keen on the Submariner. I mean, I get that they're really classic* and durable and everything, but for the price they just look so extremely plain, if you know what I mean? If it's bothering you that much, though, you should have a look at the returns policy for whoever you bought it from.

*Timeless isn't a good word to describe watches

Did you just make a joke Daaaaaaave?

I'm with the majority here on the sub vs. Panerai. The sub will truly never go out of style and will always look reasonable on almost anyone's wrist.

There is something very un-Panerai about the black gator strap though. If it were me, I'd want something in a more natural brown leather. Something I could watch age over time. .

[dismalfuture]

well, you guys are big-upping Rolexes nowadays, but had we had this convo 5 years ago, nobody would've really wanted a Rolex over a Panny, watch fashions change more than clothes I think. Once the recession ends, people have spending money again, Rolexes are gonna look a little frumpy and dated again, just like they did in the mid 90's.

[arcanum]

@daaave i bought it months ago, so theres no way i can return it.

@whogotmeintothis i agree with you. i think panerais are more like fashion watches while rolex are more like classic watches. i have been thinking about natural leather straps, i just haven't found one =/

[Happy Hooligan]

Keep in mind too, that rolexes are really a dime a dozen er... for grand a dozen....

there are a lot of other great watches out there that don't have quite the love of rolex that are timeless.

I think those Panerai will be collectable in the future though....

If you'd really like a sub, I would be willing to bet that there are numerous members of forums like Watchuseek that would be willing to make a trade like that. You should check it out.

uniform wares 100 series

friends just got me this in the dark grey colourway

super nice i love it

[the Repeater]

Holding out for the 200, it's water resistant.

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

I think the 200 is an automatic movement as well. Def worth the wait but if you don't care about movement the quartz watches look damn good too.

[asher_roslynn]

man, what are the prices expected to be on the 200 series?

[the Repeater]

On the basis of other watches w/ better movements, probably 50-66% more $.

[canal]

that all black timex is up on nordstrom. $60 too. 42mm face.

shiet, wish my wrists weren't so skinny.

[asher_roslynn]

^I actually got one at my local Nordstroms; thought I was going to enjoy it, but I didn't LOVE it. So I ended up selling it for a profit muhaha.

But even as one with skinny wrists, I enjoy large watches. Funny thing though, the watch is all black and has a uniglo feature.

[Alapongtai]
