Re: The Watches of James Bond

Movies are great for promoting brands In the books, it was a Rolex Explorer with a stretch band. Fleming liked Rolx so... He stated the reason was the band allowed the watch to be used in fist fights, like a knuckle bar etc Bond would always get a new one every year on boxing day. Must have been har...

Re: Where have all the Tutima's gone?

I currently stilll own two. One a SS Pacific 200 and the renewed Pacific 300 with compass dial Sinn has no special tech advantage, its just public recognition. Sin and Tutima share a lot in common and are located in the same city Bands even look alike. Tutima is more aggressive on price cutting viol...

Re: Inquiry about a feature (counter rotating bezel)

I have owned a few
Look at the Mido ALL DIAL , Ocean7 LM2, AND MY CURRENT ONE IS A MOMO LE GMT

There are a lot out there. I like them as it makes the dial look larger, seems to increase readability

Re: A couple of questions for the accuracy nuts on DWC

If you rotate, what's the difference. I am never a stickler on exact time If so I would get that Bulove you can adjust on the fly. 99% accurate as it says Your watch was not bought to tell time exclusively anyway or you would have gotten a Seiko However, you did ask for accuracy nuts and I am not re...

Re: Swatch has dropped a little announcement.

There used to be a law, which has been nullified. Restraint of trade is not an issue here. And really, all one has to do is sell your eta models If you are worried Try buying anything from factory today. I was amazed at how hard it was to get OEM bracelet links from Alpina. Even ADs could not get th...

Question on brand ownership

I wonder if other are like me. Feeling a bit odd in that I currently own three Tutima dive watches. And 2 are yellow dials. Does anyone else have such a brand centric collection. I had 5 at one time a month ago I just like them a lot and wear them all in rotation as they are different bands ( 42mm P...

Re: Maratac Pilot Mid Size, kind of dig it.

nice
Movement is great and hands remind me of the Dievas I had

Only thing I could suggest is a nice custom or leather. Get exact measurements for wrist and just do three holes max

I would like the 44 range myself but this is magic

I did not know they had a gay marriage until later. I turned it off. Started out way to raunchy. As for marriage, not my problem, nor do I really care.

Re: Thoughts on Nomos

When I look at a watch in this category, and I like the brand, but in this price range it had better have something I can’t see in the newer rip off collections currently on the market.

I love the watch and ould buy it, but not when a Lange is so close in prices
