Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
That reminds me a lot of my Breitling (except black and the bezel looks like it came off a Bently series watch)
http://www.watchesonnet.com/images/p...rge/1810_1.jpg Is that one of those homage watches you guys were talking about at one point? Also, what's with everyone's obsession to paint things black these days? First I saw cars with black wheels (yuck! looks dirty to me). Next I see cars with flat black paint (REALLY stupid looking if you ask me). Now black watches? I will say 20 years ago when I was 13 I had a black and gold Seiko that I LOVED. The black paint chipped off SO fast. I was so mad. |

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Here is a good write-up on PVD process:
http://replicawatchfaqs.blogspot.com...eposition.html It is supposed to make a watch less apt to corrosion. It's being used more frequently in diver's watches but has made it's way into fashion watches for the "black out" look. Most PVD watches do not look as shiny black as s15driftking's. IMO the better looking PVD watches have a sort of sandblasted treatment done first. The one that s15driftking almost looks ceramic (which some watches have been made from and Rolex has been using ceramic in it's bezel's). Stuhrling's seems to have a few models which are made to look like other popular makers, Omega, Rolex, Breitling, Hublot, etc. So I can understand the comparison. s15driftking is your quartz or automatic? And does the 53mm measurement include the pushers and crown? I ask because it does not look that large on your wrist. |

Just picked this up this past week. I now have the bracelet version and the strap version. It came with a canvas strap but it was really uncomfortable and didn't adjust well. Decided to buy a Hirsch strap to put on and now I absolutely love this watch. Fairly cheap and just a great watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Alright, I can see that some of you guys are way bigger than me. 53mm would look pretty silly on my small wrist. Here's my biggest watch at 37mm. A Bvlgari Solotempo.

I personally wouldn't wear anything smaller than 43mm because it would look just plain silly on my big wrist. That is a very cool design regardless. And to MikeyC, the Stuhrling i bought isn't an hommage to any particular breitling although after further examination it does look like it robs a bunch of characteristics from several different brietlings, the bezel resembles the Bentley 6.75 for sure. Maybe all the breitling influence is why i like it so much. |
