You need a horological f@nnymagnet though. Break open that piggy bank.MattFalle said:
our watches are mega. far better than all this shiteveryone else here is wearing.MidlandsGrimpeur2 said:A Seiko is all the watch you need really. Nice little history in the movies helps with the cool factor. Captain Willard wears the Seiko turtle Apocalypse Now.
Yes, I think they are great watches. Had a vague memory of that, good reason to watch Apocalypse Now again, haven't seen it for years!"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

anyhow, who needs watches when you can dance as well as me?

Looking at Heuer Carrera in the watch shop at Gatwick, assistant asked if I'd like to try one on. "You must be joking" says I, "they're far too nice". "Why do you think I asked" he replied, laughing. I ran away at that point as I can't spend a couple of grand on a watch.0

Just been reading up on that Ball Deepquest.
doesn't actually do anything the mighty Seiko does and you'd look a total belter when someone asks you if ypu've dived to 3,000m metres recently.
Rather have a Seiko, a full SR mechanical groupset and some alobe time with a ho and a stack of blow..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

So I've always wondered MF, if you are staying in barracks, how does that work?MattFalle said:

The only time I've stayed in one, I recall it being quite intimate. Bloke in the bed below me could probably have pitched in.
Answered my own question, haven't I.0 -

And quite cool as they make the case from a single block of Titanium - there's no case back to unscrew."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Seniors/Officers' mess is one man room.
all the new phase 3 accomodation is single rooms en suite.
juniors - 4 or 2 man rooms.
but there are always showers, toilets, trucks, cars, garages, etc.
you could even meet someone who lives off camp and go to their crib.
essentially its like living like a teenager or halls of residence. its only in basic training that its a bitshit.
its the Navy lot who will have difficulty finding privacy, however, always watch out for ladders, pens and binoculars if there is a particularly boring watch tower..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Not fake, but wandering past the Swatch shop in Verona saw these in the window, surely they've all sold out...
Yep, display only

Apparently, Omega have announced they will become part of full scale production and readily available in the coming months, no limited runs or holding back supply.
It will be interesting to see if this pans out.0 -
They actually looked really good, bargain at that price.MidlandsGrimpeur2 said:Not fake, but wandering past the Swatch shop in Verona saw these in the window, surely they've all sold out...

Omega Swatch. See earlier photos.
Swatch announced yesterday that there is no intention to make this a limited edition, so if you can wait, you will get one.
I am tempted!0 -
So its an Omega in funky colours made by Swatch?

It's either a plastic Omega or a Swatch that looks like an Omega Speedmaster. Either way, no way for me. Can see why its making waves though.MattFalle said:So its an Omega in funky colours made by Swatch?

Tell a lie - apparently its some weird mix of ceramic and castor oil based plastic. Looks like plastic. Quartz movement, not mechanical. To quote the Dragons Den: I'm not investing, I'm out.MattFalle said:oh - thought it was metal.

they also own eta which makes movements used by many others
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Many tag movements are ETA or ETA based, as far as I am aware.0

ETAs get everywhere - quite a few of mine have them. Perfectly good movements."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0
