I have much love (lust) for Zenith. Thank you for helping me get the day off to a good start.

Kinda small, but moreso - no date. Huge turnoff.


Can it handle daily wear? My PO has been quite resilient. Granted I'm just a bike mechanic.

Absolutely. I've been wearing mine hiking all week.

It's probably filthy with all that hiking dirt. It'll break for sure. I know a guy who clean that up for you...send it to me and I promise to take good care of it.

There's been some recent discussion of black/DLC watches around these parts, so I thought you might find this interesting.

A Week On The Wrist: The Ball Night Train DLC — HODINKEE - Wristwatch News, Reviews, & Original Stories

Decent looking watch, hairy wrists of the reviewer notwithstanding.

Can someone please make me see sense and tell me that I don't need a Tudor Black Bay- they are regularly coming up for around 1600-1700 pounds on chrono24, and that is getting very close to me dipping into the new car/deposit for a place in France fund...

last time i kept returning to the same website it was for a speedvagen, and my will power didn't last too long then either.

So, I'm going to bring this down a notch. I'll drop and give 20 when I'm done. Because I can't seem to get that RGM sponsorship, I picked up a somewhat more disposable cx watch this year:

From the newish line of swatch tuna watches - rugged and cheap enough that I won't feel bad when I ruin it on some hot corner somewhere.

I'm always a fan of Breguet and FP Journe.

Cool watch. Screw that crown...

[TomW]

I got this a while ago but hadn't got round to snapping any pictures. These aren't great (iPhone) but hopefully show a bit of the watch off: a Habring2 Doppel3. 3 months in it has really turned out to be a perfect weekend watch.

That's pretty neat news they are forward thinking, it's not just a one trick pony. Thanks.

good deal here.

IWC-Mens Watch,Automatic Winding with Date Watch

[Matthew Strongin]

It's big. And I'm a not very big guy who wears a big watch, but when I tried it on I felt that it was too much. That said, how a watch reads depends on anything from your wrist size to the relative case v. dial to the size of lugs to personal preference.

And yeah, it will look totally baller on a girl.

[jlwdm]

The IWC Big Pilot will wear big because of the narrow bezel and large face. On the other hand the black face will make it wear smaller than a similar sized white face.

I have a Steinhart/Gnomon Nav B Uhr 47mm, so 1mm larger than the Big Pilot. I have a small wrist at 6.8 inches but at 6' 2 1/2" I like to wear large watches.

See how the watches with larger bezels appear much smaller.

Looking much better

I know it's not fancy by the standards of this thread, but I've found the watch that will last until money is no longer an object for me.

I bought this because I couldn't get my maratac pilot to keep time for shit...+- 3 or 4 minutes per day. This is unacceptable for a German.

I swapped to a rubber band and now I wear it 24/7. All day. For everything. It's tough. It looks cool. It's <$200.
