Let's Talk Watches - Page 216 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Not really, just seeing them enough made it click in my head. It's not my favorite line by any means but I appreciate them more today than I did yesterday.

Some of them I don't get at all.. they seem to love the 'eater' dials and some funky styles with crowns on the bottom side of the case. I like very few of the models, but the simpler ones are quite nice. Kodiak strap is a nice kicker.

And kind of a steal at $200k, imo.

That is so freakin' cool. The video on that page is great. From the rolling dice to the detail on the roulette wheel this gets an A+ for slickness.

I saw this in a store window in Monte Carlo. Thought it looked interesting but didn't even want to know how much it cost cos I knew it'd be ridic. A photo I took of it:

This is the first time I'm really unsure if I'm being leveled or not.

I feel like it'd be so weird to be the guy working for four years on something so obscure and gimmicky, interesting job.

Can anyone identify what Ricky Gervais wears in his most recent standup special and on An Idiot Abroad? It has a black rubber and steel band, and a round face.

Also I'm definitely NOT talking about the Monaco that he sometimes wears as well.

The best pic I've been able to find is this-

Re: my own search for the Gervais watch, could it be a Fifty Fathoms? This one seems pretty close...

I like the white dial blue hands version more. a bit more classic.

funny that thats your first post : ) welcome.

If you like that style, I know Jacque Lemans makes one with the same 7751 movement for about $1000.
