Lots of indications that they can't handle the growth, however. Bad QC, bad communication, bad delays.

Don't get me wrong, I like Steinhart a lot, just a shame they can't keep up.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Growing pains can be a bitch. Let's see how they handle it

Used Steinharts all over WUS sales forum all the time. Good value there.

B&M Capeland XXL on yellow stitch Maratac Elite... swapped out the polished buckle it comes with for blasted to match the case unfortunately only one I had was pre-v, not sure goes with the whole style. Anyway.. (pvn, hope it inspires you, despite the poor iPhone quality picture).

It looks fantastic. I like the Maratac better than the OEM sailcloth (curved-end straps kinda bug me). But it's definitely not the LOOK that I'm not grokking. I have it on my desk and I just stare at it in amazement.

I forgot, there's an ana-digi BR-03 88.

Something about a quartz watch with no second hand kinda bugs me. Also, countdown bezels tilt me.

I just don't know why they make these Maratac's so long-- I'm on the second to last notch and have slightly above average size wrist.

I know what you mean, I do... enjoyed it today with a tee and cargo shorts!

Ditto on the Maratacs being stupid long.

Anyway, dunno what the retail on the Incursore II is, but here's one on ebay for $700:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Glycine-...#ht_500wt_1413

Dunno about that seller. William Johnson Company (AKA Falcon Watch Co.) is the US authorized dealer/distributor for Glycine, and they have a top-notch reputation.

There is also an arabic 3/6/9/12 dial and you can get both dials in either manual or auto.

Thanks! I'm very interested in this watch, the seller on ebay is from Lithuania so I'm not too happy about buying from them! Might have to check it out in other place. Thanks for the help!

The meat was done on a separate smoker. ANd the beer did not have enough time to get warm.

question for a watch noob, are Movado watches worth the price? I dont see the difference really between their watches between $900 and up and like a nice watch from some other brand like Calvin Klein or something like that

Movado is probably more worth their price than Calvin Klein watches but I would try to not get a museum piece (the single dot at 12 kind).

I really wanna get a digital watch. Any recommendation of G-Shock types? Never really looked into them so I don't really know much about them. I know a few of you here collect them. Price/functions doesn't matter to me.
