The Watch Appreciation Thread - Page 1067

yowza. now thats a proper watch pr0n pic.

Yeah, I've never really been a fan of the RO, but that pic makes me want to rethink my opinion...

Smell the Glove!

Crosspost from Drake's thread:



5512 inspired Drakes's tie

Whether you think that the idea of having a tie inspired by a watch is cool or not, that's a great tie and even a little cheaper than Drake's own. If I was in the US (and wore ties more often) I would definitely consider picking that up. Only 50 made.

what cameras are you guys using for these pics? they are outstanding.

i treat all my watches like tools (i.e. no pampering) , but are you the least bit worried about the zipper abrading into the watch case?

That zipper is dangerously close to that sapphire glass ;)

So the strap that came with my IWC Big Ingenieur (German national soccer team version) is fine, but I'd like to replace it. It appears that the custom strapmakers I've spoken with all say I have to send in my strap, which will mean the watch is out of commission for a month or more (I'm in Seoul). 

 

Any of you guys have any bright ideas? I'd really like to replace my strap (or have a second option) without having to go so long without it--my wife's more or less commandeered my Aquatimer and it won't be easy to pry it from her vise-like grip...

If you want a second option, surely an authorized dealer could send you one??

 

Yeah, but I was hoping for something other than the OEM design/materials. I'd also like a deployant, if possible.

You can buy a deployment buckel and fit it to any strap.

This guy seems to make really nice Deployants

I know thats not Korea, but maybe it will cut the wait time down or a good excuse for a weekend trip?

Be a man, get that Aquatimer back.
