Haha, yeah I think you guys may be right.

Hmm.. I thought this was an interesting idea, but now I'm starting to reconsider my Hamilton.. I could buy 18 of these for around the same price. http://www.amazon.com/Nicolas-Cage-Pillowcase-Covers-Standard/dp/B00AA870UK Which would you guys choose? For reference:

Yeah definitely not doing any saturation diving ha. Do you know if they have to pass either an ISO test or some version of it in order to put 200m on the dial? Is it possible for a company to just stick 200m on the dial without it being strictly tested? Well didn't expect it to be $7000 ha, but...

Really? From everything I've read 150 is comfortable for swimming and you can dive with 200, but its maybe a little risky. That does make more sense that the Seiko is ISO certified though. I would've expected that watch to actually be able to dive. Would you dive with any 200m or only if...

Still have it, still wear it. Seagull M185s

Oris TT1. Was deciding between the Oris and the Grand Seiko, but then saw the Seiko is only 200m (??). I would need it to actually dive with, so that doesn't really work..

Wow not bad at all, especially for first time. I've never made a strap before, but I know I couldn't do that well.. What materials? Did you freehand the whole thing? And of course, what watch is that going on? (pics or it didn't happen)

Hmm I thought I had posted pictures.. Melbourne Portsea

Alpina Pilot LE Melbourne Portsea SS And the Halios Tropik SS And then a bunch more watches cause I've only spent 3500-4000. Probably the Steinhart Nav-B Bronze 44mm next. Sorry, I'm bad at this game. Just because it costs a bunch of money doesn't mean its worth it.

Sorry.. it was a bad joke. I bought the Sea Diver from Borealis, you guys, and you invited me to the forum, so you guys would get the second watch if I won.

I'm in! Was invited by a guy named Borealis after I bought his watch so he would get the second watch if I won.

Ok I'll post a picture anyway, found an old one on my computer with one of my favorite books. Once again I really like the simplistic, clean dial. I mean I definitely like other watches that don't have clean dials, but I do tend to naturally gravitate towards these.

It was just a Parnis Pilot, and I would, but before I moved to China I gave it to a friend who wasn't into watches at all and loved that one. So no more pilot.. It was one of my cheapest watches, but one of my favorites.

@Borealis I don't think quartz will take that big of a hit because people only realize quartz has no soul when they start getting deep in the rabbit hole that is watch enthusiasm. At the beginning of WISdom, which is where some people choose to stay forever, the only difference they see between...

Smart watches are about to explode in popularity which makes me sad for some reasons, but I understand why they will be far more popular than mechanical. Mechanical started becoming a niche market as soon as the quartz watches were introduced. With the introduction of cell phones into the public...

I didn't know they were coming out with a white? I know of the blue and the black, but I wish this were on my list of the next three. Alas I am a but a poor college student in China, ha. Its the simplicity of this one that gets me. Its actually what drew me to the Sea Diver. I had actually...

One of my favorites has to be Melbourne Watch company. Classy and I want almost every design they come out with.

Thats true, but taobao is a whole different beast than ebay that I am still figuring out ha. I'm kinda hoping to find a local watchshop anyway to start a relationship with as I'll be here for 4 years at least. Thanks for the idea of just replacing the whole movement! I never thought of that...

That white blue combo is pretty, good work on that!

Older thread, but one I'm interested in. Just found this brand that I've never heard of, anyone know anything about it? Brass for $300? It kinda looks like another watch I've heard of, but I think thats just a coincidence.
