Scribe, to be honest with you there are a lot of old classics to admire, but their new models are lacking the old patina. I agree. Like Doxa...

Really, it is a terrible pity. Bling bling, and loud flashy designs, instead of the subdued and elegant classics of the 1950s and early 1960s. Not at all a fan, I must admit.

Actually, I saw the most recently issued (or produced) Tudors, and thought them perfectly horrible. And agree re Doxa, too. It is a sad state of affairs, really.

Happy to clarify. :) Years spent on Timezone(dot com), among many other horological sites, will strangely affect ones knowledge base.

Gosh, yes, very true.

Just got a new watch from work

Oakley Gearbox with titanium and a carbon fiber face

Love it -- "from work"?

My daily lately is a U-Boat Classico 45.

Yes from work, I work for Oakley and I finally bought one with my employee discount and you do have a nice watch there, like it a lot

Nice I loved selling oakley products and chatting with the reps when I worked in retail. What do you do at Oakley if you don't mind me asking.

I wear a Swatch Sistem51 auto-mechanical watch. I love it, and I have the black version so it comes with an awesome leather strap.

I work in a retail store too but I honestly enjoy doing what I do and enjoy talking to reps and getting to know about new products

Delighted to see that it arrived safely and is happily at home on your wrist. Well wear, and enjoy it.


I have always liked Skagen watches; a well made, elegant watch at affordable prices. I had one over a decade ago, and gave it to my brother.

My JLC Master Compressor II :D

My Raymond Weil Automatic :D

Lovely watches. Thanks for posting pictures, and enjoy them.

Who's got a nice watch?

Are any of you guys familiar with 'fakewatchbuster' on Instagram? Its a good laugh watching him call out posers who try and pass off fake watches as the genuine article. He's had s few rappers and supposed jewellers to the stars who have been caught out. He sometimes gets a lot of flack, especially from the replica community but the major watch companies applaud him. Worth a look :)
