The Dive Watch Connection

That's an awesome list. I listen to everything but going over all the metal sub-genres I realize that I listen to way too much metal.
I'm really impressed to see that they included all the doom metal, mathcore, and other heavy genres. I'm a big DEP fan soooo.

They should call it the Emperor Penguin since there actually is an Emperor Penguin.

This one actually looks really good, I like it. It grew on me.

Mitch is very transparent on the O7 forum about how they have extra parts laying around that they assemble/cobble together. I guess this could be a point of contention but hey, Seiko does it too and they're mainstream.

The incentive would be to offer the franken-projects at a discount.

Would it be advisable to buy one to see if it meets wearability and own preferences? Yes.... Spending several hundred vs. several thousand for something you are unsure of? Start with the homage. :cheers: I also noticed you capped "PAM HOMAGES" as if to call a spade a spade. Regardless of the ethics...

This was the one that had the anorexic nipple crown right? Looks like they fixed it.

Seriously, you could convert any non-Breitling fan with that picture.

With the exception of those hands, that watch looks like serious business. The hour markers look huge and like they would glow like a torch all night. I even love the elegant and unobtrusive 300m on the dial. Very nice.

Better keep that watch away from your patented Invicta flame fusion crystal or it might catch fire.

I really like this line of watches too. It is Casio's best competition against Citizen.

Only problem is I always read it in my mind as OC-anus.

It looks like the Panerai is the real winner there (in before "Seiko has the best lume evar!" comment). I think the jury is still out on what the brightest lume is. I did some work in a photolab using some fancy cameras to measure luminosity on LEDs on instrument panels. It would be interesting to d...

Option 2 was a little lonely so disregard my vote I suck cocks, but honestly I'd go with option 1.

And they probably sell at some exorbitant Swiss price. :bootyshake: The only one hand watch I have seen that has not struck me as an excuse to sell a watch for a :bs: price was Azimuth's one hand Back In Time watch. http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?s=42a59a3cb34eceed2d147504b1952994&p=267...

How do you know if you're a pirate?

You just ARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHH!

That was the first thing I thought. I personally do not get GMT Chronos.

That chick is a winner....so hot. As for the phone? Total excess if you ask me. For 50k I expect my phone to do some really cool shit like act as a scrambler or have a built in EMP that can take out all nearby electronics. 50k puts that phone in the "James Bond phone" cost-category. If that phone ca...

Anyone get any of the rubber? How are they.

The prices, being so good, give me pause.

I ordered an orange one. It is soft and comfortable, and does not seem to attract lint (because it is orange?).

For 10 dollars the strap is a steal.

Love the hands and the 2 o'clock crown. The Ha'i Q has a crown at 2, but it is no secret that Chris (Darkman) is a vintage watch fan. Maybe this was one of his inspirations.

Nice to see it is 42mm, some of their watches seem to be on the smaller side. I wonder if it wears bigger and if that measurement is with the crown. It looks nice, but the stock pictures are kind of sterile. I bet it looks stunning in person. I really like the C8 by the way...the only thing that I'm...

This is one of my favorites, a sprawling epic to be sure. This one won't get you laid.

So does anyone want to take a stab at how this technology will affect or challenge automatic movements? Initially, it may make a minor dent and very temporary scare if any splash at all. It'll only make a difference to non-WIS. Those truly interested in mechanical watches are not in it for either a...

I hate to be "that guy", but what makes it a safe queen? I don't know anything about the movement, and I'm sure that is a big part of it, but I don't see anything exceptional in the deisgn, construction or finishing. I'm not hating, I'd just like to know what the deal is. ------------------- The Ze...
