tyrion Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Dan is correct. The Stowa is the one with the brown leather. Al, a man of your status should get the IWC. The Stowa is for us country lawyers. The Stowa will stay and Damasko will likely go.
morphsci Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 ... The Stowa will stay and Damasko will likely go. You have chosen wisely.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Posted June 28, 2011 The other thing you might want to do while deciding is to see which is more accurate.
grawk Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 bah, cellphones are accurate, watches just need to be corrected occassionally. That should never be a deciding factor
morphsci Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Built-in excuse for being late when you want to
tyrion Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 The watches are both pretty close in terms of accuracy. Automatics are always going to need to have the time adjusted every so often. It's not an issue for me as it's rare that I wear the same watch two days in a row so they tend to need adjustment when I put them on in the morning. I only have one watch winder. One day I will get one of those Orbita's like Jeff has. Todays wrist shot: I received this watch in a trade a while back and forgot about it. If anyone wants it, $100 shipped conus. I have the box and paperwork:
VPI Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 It does seem about time for another Wrist Shot Day. Mike, look at the Brookstone watch winders. Excellent for a lot less than the Orbitas.
tyrion Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks, I will. I like that watch but don't think I can pull it off.
MexicanDragon Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Red Line Compressor Collection Black IP Case 100M Water Resistant Black Rubber Strap Men's Watch 18000-01-BB I kinda like this for 59$. Actually, I REALLY like this for 59$. Anyone familiar with the brand? **BRENT**
Deadneddz Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 I believe I remember reading that Red Line is made by Swiss Watch International, so you can look them up to see if you can find anything about the company. I'm not familiar with them. But at $59 bucks, you probably can't go wrong if you just like the design of the watch. All the specs just seem standard with regular mineral crystal and quartz movement. If you like the design and the measurements work for you(lug width, case diameter, thickness, etc.) then once again, I can't see how it could be a bad purchase for you at that price. BTW, what is your wrist size?
VPI Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Very nice. How's the fit and finish on the MKII's? They are great looking divers.
dsavitsk Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 I'm not a watch guy, but I do own one, and I like it very much. It is from 1967 which I know because there is an inscription on the back where it was given to someone in 1967 for 25 years of employment. This adds value to me as it was clearly special to someone else, first. I think it was then purchased at an estate sale, and I received it from my brother in law as a wedding present.
tyrion Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 Nice vintage Omega. Jeff, the fit and finish of the MKII watches are as good as anything out there. I really like these watches.
HeadphoneAddict Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 I got this one a couple of weeks ago and forgot about it, so the date is off by a day.
tyrion Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 So I was supposed to sell a watch (O7 LM-3V2) and ended up trading it in a good deal for a Helson Skin Diver plus cash. This is another winner imo. Now I need to sell something since I am up to six. I'm thinking Doxa. Jeff, if you are interested, let me know.
archosman Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 I got this one a couple of weeks ago and forgot about it, so the date is off by a day. Invicta has no shame. Looks just like a Tissot V8. Nice watch. At some point I'd like to pick up the black dial version.
Mark527 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 Here's the last couple I've picked up since last year... Nice watch! I just ordered the silver version (SNZH55) and put down an order for one of the newest dials from Jake B on WUS. Mine will look like this in a couple of weeks: I will also pick up a Brady Straps sailcloth in black to match this version of the Blancpain: Cannot wait.
