Re: Anyone else tired of cookie cutter cases and homages?

Original designs get huge points in my book... but that's not to say that there isn't a place for cookie cutter micro brands. As someone stated above, buy what you like ! FWIW - I'd have no problem buying a catalog case watch if it had some original/unique features. For example, that 2000M DSSD look...

Re: My Resco is Here

Congrats! Post some pics when you get a chance. :grin:

Haven't seen one in person yet, but I fully agree on the MSRP. I think they're just banking heavily on the "Kobold & Navy Seal stamp of approval" & AD similarity factors.

A nice, good lookin' watch nevertheless!

Re: Orient 300M on Breitling Rubber?

I'd be allover the 22mm Isofrane if it weren't for the holes up the strap. I like the more solid look of the pro diver II & hershey straps.

Orient 300M on Breitling Rubber?

Is it a crime to put a Breitling rubber strap on an Orient 300M? I'm searching high & low for some nice straps, and the only rubber one's I keep coming back to are the new Breitling Pro Diver II strap, and the SA Dive Master 500 Hershey. Anyone worn this new Breitling strap? Wondering how comfy it i...

Re: ISOfrane Straps

Constantly hearing good things about these Isofranes! I hope they come out with some different styles... there's definitely a market for premium rubber straps out there. I'd snatch up a 22mm Hershey Isofrane in an instant. :grin:

Re: Temptation on Michigan (Chicago watch crawl today)

Try to stop by Swiss Fine Timing if you can. Locations in downtown & Highland Park. Their collection is insane... also extremely expensive, but at least worth a gander if you're close.

Re: Resco Patriot: Thoughts and Photos of the Grey Dial/SS

Thanks for the detailed review!! :thumbsup: The grey dial is just awesome! It needs to be an option on more watches. Also, I love the assembled in the states factor. But.. I gotta say.. for $1365 I'd be F'n pissed by the scratches in the AR/crystal! :cussing: There's not much in the features of this...

Incoming: Orient 300M

Been waiting a long time to snatch up an Orient 300M Saturation Diver, and finally I've got a black one on the way! Should be arriving Monday or Tuesday... it's gonna be a long weekend!

Some sexy pics of Orient 300's would sure help pass the time... :whistle:

Re: Would you buy a Corvus Watch?

Would I buy a Corvus watch? Yes... yes I would... how much does a new dial cost again? :lol: Really though, I'd buy a used one if the price was right (sub $700 maybe?). I wouldn't have an issue wearing the watch because one of the owners is a POS. Now, buying new is a different story IMHO since ther...

Re: Laco Squad Watch (from Tlex)

Damn pricey, but I think the only other thing I'm not digging is the marker next to the 9 index... presumably to mirror the white date wheel next to the 3. They should have made a black date wheel, and not bothered with the useless secondary 9 marker.

Just my .02
