Re: On the fence - Doxa

Depends on your tastes. My wrist is 6.5", and the 1000T is PERFECT for me. Got a 1200T incoming, and they say the caseback is flatter on that one despite the thicker case, so I'm thinking that will be an even better fit. I think if you like larger watches, you should definitely spring for the 750T o...

Re: WRUW for Hump Day 1-13-10

Nice, Kin. How's it wearing? Maybe you can settle the debate over the true size. I started the day with this one: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p258/mattjwu/watches/omega%20po%2045%20black/omega_po_45_black_00Large.jpg But it's sold and will be shipped off today (to Norway, of all places), so I...

Bad news, just got a PO in....

...and I forgot how much I loved this watch. Crap - this is not good. It's so much quality from a reputable brand in an affordable package. Wears nicely on bracelet or rubber and is so versatile. Looks like I'll have to pick up another. :banghead: (This one's a 45.5, so it's too large for me to keep...

Re: What do you think of Maurice Lacroix

I like a lot of their offerings, but as you mentioned, the fact that they're so heavily discounted and available at all the internet discount stores gives me a bit of hesitation about the brand. But I say - if you can find a good price on a watch you like, go for it. I'd love to hear some first hand...

Re: Are cellphones becoming the "new pocketwatch"?

I'll freely admit that I LIKE my cell phone. Not as much as I like peeing while standing, but its super convenient. But as a watch? I can't do it. In fact, I go as far as to switch the exterior time displays off (mostly so I have a better pic of my kid!).... Seth, you are the king of cross-referenc...

Re: Who has a Stowa, let's see 'em.

I've owned a couple and they've moved on, but I've always held Stowa, as a company, in high regard. I think I would like to add an MO or Antea to the collection.

Sometimes, those trades are a good thing. Some of my favorite watches have come from trade offers of watches I wasn't even looking for. It's a great way to get exposure to something new :mrgreen:

Re: Bracelet porn

Nice shots, Kenneth. Omega does make a real quality bracelet. If they'd only put extra holes on the clasp, or some other form of micro-adjust, they would literally be producing the best bracelets in the biz. :thumbsup:

Re: Are cellphones becoming the "new pocketwatch"?

I can't tell you how many times I'm having dinner out at a restaurant with my wife and take some time to look around - only to find at least a quarter of the couples both engaged on their iPhones while waiting for their food, rather than engaged in conversation with each other. It's a pathetic, real...
