Re: Watch Aficionados?

Those Techne watches look cool -- Seagull movements are cheap cheap though

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Yeah its using the sea gull movement eh? Didnt do much research, looking into finding a new car is consuming my online time

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Have not heard of them till now, but looks pretty nice and not a bad price at all.

Apparently the price is still a bit high for the movement after a bit of research.

Anyone heard of Techne watches? Hand wound, super cheap. Don't mind the look...Might be a good daily beater!

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I wish I could buck up but between a new car and having an expensive Japanese toy collection obsession not sure the Mrs would understand a Panerai, but maybe we can take a look

My Dad has an Orbita for his Concord and it is ok but they are a few bucks, personally would rather put the money into another watch

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I've used a cheaper winder for 2 or 3 years now with no problems. Seeing as my watches take a beating when I wear them why worry about if a winder might hurt them.

I tried on a few Patek's last month in the Caymans -- beautiful little machines

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I am going to do my best to stay away from watch stores when I go to LA in a few weeks time, but with the current exchange the deals are out there and damn do I really want a Panerai!!

Buck up, Blair!

Ive been thinking about pulling the trigger on an Orbita winder lately..anyone have one? Is it even wroth it? I mostly walk to work, so I just throw the watch i watn to wear on, walk 12 blocks and set the time when i get to my desk...not sure its worth a stack+ on a watch winder (even though it is pretty)

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Been busy at work I guess lol.

Just ordered this Stowa:


and picked up this Seiko as a daily (ordered an orange leather strap as well)


Has anyone picked up a decent case/winder? Im at a point now where I dont have room to store this sh*t

The Stowa is interesting, I like it.

I've had Orange Monsters around as a daily wear bangaround watch for years.
