lets talk watches

[arlee]

just get it pvded.

plus they scratches easily, not worth the dough imo.

thats why you gotta dlc it and get a ceramic bezel then your in buisness

[ericdw]

is that plated? (sorry, couldn't resist)

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

that damn lighting.

[gfunkdocta]

"the gold in this watch alone at melt down value is $8000'

[drapygo]

thinking about getting this watch.

[Androo630]

Are Time Factors straps or Marantac straps better?

[ericdw]

Maratac is a brand of straps. Time Factors is a store that sells straps, and has some straps made specifically for their watches (speedbird). Time Factors used to sell Maratac but I'm not sure what brand they stock now.

Fairly recent purchases

O&W M1 Diver

G-Shock DW-5600MS

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

How's the O&W Diver? Been scouring the web for reasonably priced divers and I'm thinking I might like to go with something other than the usual Seiko SNK, etc.

Looks great on the NATO as well.

Its around 40mm in diameter so its gonna look small on a big wrist. I've got small wrist so i love it . Not bulky and really comfortable, so yea i"ll recommend it, good solid watch with swiss eta movement. Got it from westcoastime.

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

Yeah I've got relatively small wrists as well. Even my Air King at 36mm doesn't look too small. 40 should be perfect. Love westcoastime as well.

[Renny]

Reasonable divers aside, my holy grail gotta be the automatic Darth Tuna.

[Ryan]

Renny..

Love that 5600ms. gave one to my brother and ended up "borrowing" it for my trip to hawaii two weeks ago...

[Renny]

Just couldn't resist the matte black finish, not to mention how affordable it is

[skunky386]

Could anyone identify this Seiko for me?

[drapygo]

Does anyone have expierence purchasing with "Element in time NYC?"

[levon777]

i don't know how big that is on my wrist, i don't want something humongous, though.

any other kinds of cool watches?

Invicta makes nice divers, decent quality for the price. Governator Arnold is a big Invicta fan. most invictas are 53mm w/o crown. Also check out U-Boat - they have 45, 50 and 55 mm models. I personally would go for Panerai, but again you are looking at $4.5k+

Did you really just try to reply to a post from from 4 years ago?

I'm sure he's got his watch dilemma figured out by now. Carry on.

[Daaave]

If only there was some sort of a convenient, wrist mounted "time telling device" to make sure our posts aren't as out of date as that guy?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

watchu tocking 'bout

anyhow i like how a pvd watch looks once it gets all scratched up

like you don't keep it under glass

but on the end of your arm

when you are doing things

making moves

patty cake

[levon777]

my bad, i don't how i got to that page..

[entropy kid]

Just realized this was still around on my Photobucket. Might as well post here. Shitty pic from around 4 years ago. Omega PO 44mm.

On another note: does anyone have experience with Sinn's patented PVD technology? Really as tough as they claim? I'm looking for an indestructible black tool watch (e.g.limited amount of scratching when handling heavy machinery).

[jeanunit]

Seiko SKZ211 aka Landshark / Atlas

[drapygo]

Ahhh... just bought a Blancpain 2185F. Excited for my first watch!

IWC chronograph started to feel too dull and un-alive compared to the Blancpain... haha

I asked my friend and the PVD coating's been really good in his experience, but he doesn't exactly deal with heavy machinery so YMMV. Honestly, if you're going to be working in that kind of environment I'd just get a G-Shock and call it a day.
