Despite the kitschy second hand

nothing says subtle detailing like a lightning bolt second hand, lol

I am aware Eric.

Nice pick-up akk!

The Milgauss is one my favorite watches. Despite the kitschy second hand, it just feels solid on the wrist and I like some of the more subtle detailing.

Not to mention, everybody's rocking a sub or a variation of the sub these days and the Milgauss just does something a little different.

I gotta say I like the Milgauss as well - tho I never tire of the sub...

keep in mind i know nothing about watches. this belonged to my dad back in the 60s or 70's, not sure. not sure of any value, though I doubt a lot, but a cool watch with some sentimental value from pop.

finally got around to getting it serviced today. the guy said it would probably only need a cleaning, which would be fantastic, if that were only the case. been slowing down and basically dies when i take it off.

[aak]

thanks pokpok, riff

loving that pepsi!

You guys wanting simple black watches for cheap - you should look into Muji watches, there were a few automatics and they were like $150 when they were new a few years ago. I bet you can score one on yahoo! auctions or something

[dismalfuture]

actually, scratch that idea, just found one on there now and it's not the Jasper Morrison wallclock face design.

[dibango]

this one?

[asher_roslynn]

I lurked Muji and loved this one, beast looks thick

Anyone have any US leads, I'd love to cop

[DaBestSpoona]

have u called the us muji stores?

Seems like a big tease to me.

I've been hunting and hunting and hunting, and I'd love something tough and sleek, low-key, and architectural, but aesthetics and low-cost don't seem to go hand-in-hand. I've yet to see even anything 'okay' that I'd want for less than $400.

Uniform Ware Watches, less than $200

[dismalfuture]

dibango: spot on. That is the one I was taking about. I think it's got a miniaturized version of the face from the Jasper Morrison muji wallclock. I am not sure if that one is automatic, but I know the one asher roslyn posted after you is indeed automatic.

I'm looking for a watch for my girlfriend that is similar to this style but probably needs to be 35mm or smaller. Any suggestions?

[travisio]

Swatch GB743 ? it's 35mm

edit: or the LB153? 26mm

[fre-co]

I heard someone hates the orange second hand....

Hey look I'm a scientist!

Sorry for the crappy iphone pic.

[Hocus Pocus]

GQ says available in select Bloomies

I emailed timex about this watch and they said it will be available online by mid-september.

[the Repeater]

Is it wrong...

[dibango]

bell ross compass watch

[kiya]

I'm not normally a fan of B&R but that's a pretty damn cool design.

[fang-interops]

Anyone interested in a Rolex Sub Date with a custom hornback strap Paul Newman style?

[Magsåvningsreserven]

i'm gonna cop the fuck out of that black timex if it really is $60~ or similar as someone said

[ericdw]

[arlee]

bell ross compass watch

would get the Seiko Discus Burger instead

good review of it and more pics, the tinted crystal is dope and love how the seiko logo disappears when you tillt it at a certain angle when you tell time so your eyes just focuses on the discs

[jaac]

I haven't worn a watch for atleast 10 years and no nothing about them, wanted a simple one so i kopped a SNK807 off the bay, can i just order any nato strap to chuck on it?, it doesn't have measurements for band width or anything but its 37mm diameter. Also if anyone has recs for where to get some bands shoot me a pm. thanks.
