Whichever one I made. I'd pay for some watch maker to teach me and then I would wear whatever I made

I have always been partial to breitling myself and as of right now I would choose the chronomat blackbird or the avenger seawolf

Chrono Evo with the gray dial

Dual tone case for that model I like a lot.

The Brietling factories look really cool. You'd be heaven if you saw them (maybe you have).

dijit · 03-14-2012, 05:05 PM

unfortunately I have not seen one but have had profound like maybe love of these watches for about 30 years or so.

You'll understand where the flying theme comes from. They are right across the street from a small runway and one building has an old Junkers style plane on the roof.

if money was no object, I would probably go with a Rolex Milgauss. Nothing crazy, but I freaking LOVE that watch.

I have always been a fan of the milgauss, gorgeous watch

Been looking at the luminox 8817 latley, any advise ?

RWhisenand · 03-22-2012, 10:50 AM

Been a bit of a collector, put my collecting on hold since my son was born though. I currently have a Breitling SO, Seiko Sportura Honda F1, Lum-Tec, as well as several others.

Currently saving and starting to hint to my wife that I'd like to add an Omega Seamaster auto chrono to the group. (She currently has an Omega SM too!)

s15driftking · 03-22-2012, 08:04 PM

I searched far and wide for a extra long 24mm mesh bracelet with bar ends.... came up with this.

mosesbotbol · 03-22-2012, 10:12 PM

Mesh bracelets are comfortable.

s15driftking · 03-22-2012, 10:30 PM

I find myself mesmerized with fidgeting with it. It's fun to mess around with

RWhisenand · 03-23-2012, 10:10 AM

I really like that Graham, its a very nice piece, enjoy!

Random topic; Bronze Watches

I am digging the look of weathered bronze (and even fresh bronze) watches lately. I think it adds a lot of depth to the case. Has anyone else seen this finish?

NeuRon · 03-30-2012, 08:01 AM

anybody interested in a few invictas? i have a few that were worn once (photoshoot) and a few that are new in box.. email for details.. cheap prices.

jjmitchem · 03-30-2012, 01:51 PM

This has been my dream watch since I read my first Clive Cussler book 20 years or so ago. Someday life wont interrupt my saving for one

s15driftking · 03-30-2012, 07:56 PM

Doxa is a cool!
