Your favourite "blacked out" watches??

**Olic** · 13th December 2016, 22:25

Evening,

Think my next purchase will be a "blacked out" watch, something along the lines of the two below (not necessarily a chrono, but the look.)

What are your favourites?

Nice... had to go and look that one up. Are these only available direct from 'the states'?

**MB2** · 14th December 2016, 10:04

I like black watches - the Schofield is probably my favourite but depends on where / what I am going /doing.

**Progressive** · 14th December 2016, 10:39

Speedmaster DSOM looks amazing in reality. Far better than the press pics, in my opinion. Though expensive for what it is!

Is that the topgun model... if so I love that watch. I think Jeremy Clarkson wears one though ;)

**Caller** · 14th December 2016, 18:45

II have to say that I love my DSOTM, I'm even treating it to a new strap and clasp for Chrissie! Still looks and feels as it did the day I bought it two and a half years ago. Took this quick snap whilst stuck in traffic a while back.

**pacifichrono** · 14th December 2016, 19:51

Yes, I would kill for a DSOM...

...but I am now settling for this Timex in my retirement!

All three are lovely, I particularly like the Hublot and Schofield. Stunning!

**Caruso** · 14th December 2016, 20:34

I've found black watches look better in pics than when worn. As well as the previously mentioned G-shock I have this:

No I hate that watch - nazi style hands, big, stupid military tie in. It's IWC at their worst. The 3705 is a normal sized RAF style pilots watch:

Yes, I imported mine direct from Ocean 7, so allow for a bit of import duty and postage. I had the canvas strap made for it in Portugal.

**ktmog6uk** · 15th December 2016, 00:51

not exactly "blacked out" but still.....love this one!

**Croftrock** · 15th December 2016, 00:57

A dark, soft spot.

Thanks... looks nice and the lume seems amazing on their web site!

The orange is more vibrant than this poor phone picture shows.

Now searching for Lum-Tec!!!

**Qatar-wol** · 15th December 2016, 11:09

Just this one at the moment, but I do like the look of the Breitling Chronospace Evo Nightmission...

**Oracle** · 15th December 2016, 12:46

Just to throw in a couple of Tudors for you to consider.....

**Olic** · 15th December 2016, 13:23

Thanks gents, some crackers on here! Some may require a bit more saving than others! 😬

I like that black shield 👍

Love the Schofield also, hand never heard of them before, an interesting British brand.

Guess the issue (as always) is how long I can resist buying something, thus allowing me enough time to save for the more expensive ones! 😂

No worries 😂 Think the fear of doing that to a Rolex is you may end up flipping it and losing a load, but as you say totally subjective. 👍

Thanks 👍 Every "decent" watch seems to start at £3300 nowadays! 🤔

You're spot on!

I bought mine from Haywood Milton for less than £4000, with a 2 year mechanical/waterproof warranty... (and 3 people have pm'd me asking for first refusal if I decide to move it on so it seems Id be unlucky to lose anything)

Whoever bought it new lost a shed load, as according to the brevet+ website they're £10950!

**Time Cat** · 16th December 2016, 11:46

Certainly this Speedmaster!

**wildheart** · 16th December 2016, 11:58

I sold my PVD Broadarrow and bought this lump of darkness!

**Fas** · 16th December 2016, 12:02

Has to be the Bell & Ross Phantom for me:

Hopefully in 2017.....

**ryanb741** · 16th December 2016, 12:07

Wearing this now. Best blacked out watch I've seen by a mile

Two that I've previously owned. Regret letting the Bell & Ross go, trying to replace.

That is stunning! Congrats. It's almost too nice! (Odd I know) but have a speedie and like the more "rugged" look. However yet to see one in the flesh, will have to have a look 👍

**gawkrodger** · 16th December 2016, 13:21

I quite like the look of this new strela

**troymcclure72** · 16th December 2016, 14:28

Got

Is this blackout? Probably not

**Mainspring13** · 16th December 2016, 23:12

Not big into "black" watches but wearing this one today.

**dobbsie** · 17th December 2016, 00:13

It depends how blacked out we are talking.
One of my favorite blacked out watches;

One of my favorite watches and likely one I'll never own ; (

Thanks - I wrote a review when I got here if you want to read more.

Since then it has been completely overhauled by Hublot free of charge !

I will try to write a review of the Schofield now I have had it a while.
