IME even cheap crappy watches sell better if they come 'full set', so unless you live in a Tokyo studio flat, it seems barmy to bin 'em.
^ This ^ :encouragement:
It looks like hot garbage - a bad copy of a more refined watch, executed (and it should be) in poorly-matched materials.
Well that's quite the party trick!
That Squalematic is bloody lovely. I've been having impure thoughts about Squale watches recently, so would value your opinion on how robust you think the bezel insert is likely to be? I'm a clumsy...
Scarcity after Rolex bought ALL the YG to make that chestwiggy new Deepsea... :sour:
The (immediate-) future's bright...

This thing needs smashing with a hammer - get it out of circulation ffs.

Pushing the envelope a little further with a set of strap adaptors and a CNS 'Marine Nationale' strap... Certainly comfy!

I was interested to read about the purveyors of winebar battle-clubs having exploiting this practice all the way back to the 1990s - evidently where Rolex copied it from. As ever, more-fool the...
There's certainly a similar generic-ness to the overall designs!

Yep, agree, ditto the Breitling.
Those are not the release models though - they're either 3D-printed prototypes, or entirely new ceramic-cased or (hoik! spit!), PVD models.
Notwitstanding, agree with an earlier poster - the...
Nice Hublot tribute, but I prefer the original... :thumbsup:

I quite like the new chronos - more so than the old - but the new Supermarines are woefully forgettable "me-too" designs. As a new brand, ditching what heritage you have established is demented. It...
Well said - this is one of the most bleeding-edge areas of watch technology, but the amount of interest they seem to generate - even among the cognoscenti - is surprisingly little. It amazes and...

Oh-dear Bremont - I really liked the Supermarine range, though could never justify the price, even used, but it had the virtue of standing out somewhat from the vastly overpopulated diver's watch...
Good to see some owner images of these. I'm surprised to find the 16mm lug rather appealing - it makes a bit of a change from the me-too conformity of most dive watches, and coupled with the...
I'm many years out of date with LRs now, but in the dim'n'distant days of yesteryonk, only those that left the factory as 'County Station Wagon' models could be classed as cars, while those with a...
More of a waffa-theen mint man, m'self...

Rather better looking and more functional than Richard Mille's 'credit card', too.

Meanwhile... I'm sniffing around Squale 1521s. Luckily people with models I like seem to think their battered old **** is worth the same...
I shudder to imagine... I think it's a combo of the lost-in-translation bit (from a language that doesn't even read in the same direction!), and the fact that the tech geniuses that design these...
