Any watch fans?
 
Was browsing around and just found a watch comissioned by Mazda. It's manufactured by Sinn, a german dive watch company that uses submarine grade steel. I thought it was pretty cool. Price tag is $2,000 which is about on par with other Sinn watches.

Only if that's your opinion :lol:

I'm personally on the fence, I don't really like the case but the dial design is pretty cool. I'm thinking about picking up a Sinn U2 or U1000 PVD pretty soon.

Lots of nice watches have rubber straps, big deal.

One of my favorite watches manufacturers Bell and Ross use a rubber strap. Most people that buy high end watches get custom leather watch straps made anyways.

didnt know rubber straps were common for such pricey watches...would think
they would already come with leather straps...but good point custom is better....

Which panerai. I love those, but most of them are to big for me. I stick with my plain old black faced Submariner. Smooth and classy.

dshiznit1489 06-04-2008 06:25 PM

BTW, i rock a Rolex Submariner.

Which one? Crazy that you could afford that watch but only an 8. My uncle dives with one and I know his was around 6 grand.

If it was a gift I understand. I've gotten some pretty nice watches over the years...nothing even close to the price of a submariner but I love em =). The 16613 is my second favorite watch with the two tone look....

My favorite is a breitling bentley model thats over 15K ....would never buy it though

It's economics. You can get a used Submariner for less than 4k, and it won't really go down in value if you take care of it. It's classy and nice and goes with any occasion. I can wear this for the rest of my life. How many $200-500 "nice" watches can you go through in a lifetime?

My 8 on the other hand. It's already depreciated enough to almost make me think I should have bought a cheaper car, but I just love driving it to much. I could have bought a more expensive car but the 8 just called to me so I got it. Plus my wife tried to cancel my sports car shopping by stating that she wanted me to get a 4 door.......I got her:lol2: .

My watch.... I liked the band, face and the fact that it was rather flat. Not the most expensive, but not exactly cheap either.

Celronx 06-06-2008 01:51 PM

^ I like that. Very classy.
