These are my children so far. I have others, including a SKX009, but it is in parts just now!

I think we have similar tastes, a couple of obvious stand outs in the line up but I do love that newmark.
Thank you. Yes, the Boctoks can become addictive and one has to learn where to draw the line! I think I have enough now.
Thank you. Yes, the Newmark is a beautiful watch. My only criticism is that when you look at it there is nothing moving. It would be nicer if there was a moving second hand sub dial. But I am not complaining.Originally Posted by fierbois16
I do not seem to have created much interest. Should I be buying more Rolex. Ha ha.
That's definitely a varied collection! I like the Steinhart
Thank you. The Steinhart is a very well made watch and I would recommend. However it is a big and heavy watch and I don't wear it much now. I am definitely interested in the new 39mm versions.
So the central seconds hand doesn't tick round? I didn't know that, i can understand why that would be a disappointment. Is this seen in other quartz chronos
The second hand moves when you press the pusher. But to leave it on would use the battery too much I think. The watch is in no way a dissapointment and I did not say so. What I meant was that it would be nicer if it had a moving second hand subdial.
The central second hand only runs for an hour to preserve battery life.
I was wearing mine yesterday, cracking watch.

I did not know that. Thank you! It is one of my favourites. I am keeping a keen eye on the new Diver they are producing.
I agree the Newmark chronograph is a great watch to wear and I wear mine a lot, nice size and very comfortable and easy to read. I like the supplied pull through strap too. It did take a while to get used to nothing visibly moving on the dial though.
Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't aware of that feature but it makes sense re the battery life. Didn't mean to offend with use of the term 'disappointed' bad choice of words. I'm still a fan and would like to add one to the collection, missed the last two on SC through hesitation.
Ha ha. I am not offended in any way and I understand what you meant. I could have gone on to say that I would prefer the watch to be mechanical but that would make it more expensive and maybe less sales. I am glad they have done well so far as it gives a solid base to continue. I have nothing to do with the company but am very happy to support them in the choices they have made so far.
Likewise I would prefer an auto but they are a bit out of my price range at the minute hence the interest in the newmark. I like the cwc 1970s spec chrono but not so keen on the £2.2k price tag!
Yes. It is a crazy price. The only way to stop this is not to buy them but there are always people who will. It is another subject though!
