Yea, deffo going with the bracelet for the speedypro, I tend to keep the leather strapped ones for my more 'dressier' ones.
Sorry Madduck, you were saying?
Madduck, what?
Nothing wrong with people discussing their hobbies - after all there are millions of people who think we are freaks to be spending so much on pieces of electronics that go out of date in a year.
Come on buy the nice shiny watchhehe
I've got my eye on a beauty, but I really can't justify it without spending my PS3 money and another decent wedge on top.
It will make me more attractive to the opposite sex by a factor of 7 though... choices, choices!Which watch is it btw?
For the rest of you that think we are crazy, this falls under the field of Horology, which is timekeeping. In other words, watch collecting.
That said, to be considered a serious watch collector, you would need a rather large collection and a pretty sweet one I came across recently is Chuck Maddox's (he owns/runs TimeZone.com) where he has a collection of nine (9) Speedy Pros, all different movements etc.
A very very interesting article I happened to read this morning maybe found here and the 3573.50.00 I hope to get it based on the c.1863 movement,
On another note, I found this gem on eBay and hopefully should have it by next week,

I hope Stewart won't mind my mentioning this, he told me the one he wanted was this Tank Solo,Come on buy the nice shiny watch
Well for what its worth I dont think your crazy like some people! I love watchs and clocks and cash permiting Id have a much bigger collection! good on you.
I find all these types of watches so dull, Tag, Rolex, Breitling etc... Unless of course they come from the age when design was interesting... http://70s-watches.com/ FTW
What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...
Breitling! Dull! How can you say that! they are stunning watches
This is what I use for my watch ;-)
Aaargh!! The 'I don't need a watch I have a phone' brigade are here'!!!
I tend to use my mobile too, but it sucks when it runs out of juice, specially when you find yourself talking a lot - so it's great to have a backup on your wrist
Here's another interesting watch that was left by my great grand-father. It's dead of course and I just took it to a watchmaker who opened it up - seems that the mainspring is broken and suggests I take it to Singapore for repair. It's by the Dennison Watch Co. Ltd, and has 'Special' marked - I think it's circa 1920's

AND WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY!!Aaargh!! The 'I don't need a watch I have a phone' brigade are here'!!!
