What do you guys think? Even so, I came across this blog. I think its a great once stop shop for some watch reviews/ watch info to read and pass some time.

Expensive :wowzers

A year or two back I was somewhat interested in the diver model but got over that pretty quickly.

Yes very expensive. Great to see even "fashoin brands" taking note to watchmaking! Kind of a cool concept IMO

Yeah watch isn't for me - a little gimmicky.

A Blog to Read is probably the best watch blog out there, very well known.

Your right def a little cheesy I 110% agree. How did I not know about this blog LOL. The blogs review on the 20,000ft military dive watch is what got it put in the on deck circle for me to snatch up.

Thanks for posting that link, I had never seen that site before. Now I have even more stuff to read about watches :wink:

The LV watch is certainly interesting, I think it would piss me off at first trying to tell the time, but it's a cool concept. I'd actually probably just set the GMT time to wherever I was and use the weird block number things for a second time zone.

:shock: I missed the $80k part. With that I could get a new Benz and a 312 and a GMTII.

Interesting.. Little gimmiky as others have said.

This movement design could be put to use as a vintage aircraft engine themed watch. Maybe be on the front of the next Airwolf to compliment the turbine caseback?
