Look at it this way Lu - There's tons of legit watches that have been "inspired" by the Submariner that have copied the Bezel and Mercedes hands to a tee. I figure, there's more sense having a high quality knock-off that delivers the goods than a wannabe watch that trys to pass itself off for something it's not.

Anyways, be careful Lu. I've had experiences with some Ebay watches that look the part in photos with chronograph registers, detals and the like, but then look very el cheapo in person. It's best to stick with brand names or brands with confirmed quality. Otherwise you may be rolling the dice. As a tiebreaker, it's always better to go vintage, because old watches don't use cheezy production methods.

It's not the prettiest watch ever made ...but it's not ugly either.

Great site though. Thanks for posting that notic

I don't dig on techno-laden wristwatches for the simple reason that cel phones have become omnipresent techocenters that fit in our pockets. Mating features to a wristwatch doesn't really enhance more than it complicates things.

There's nothing terribly charming about a electronic tech-watch, so color me indifferent.

And for those of you looking for [arguably] the ultimate in authentic diver-watch cache - look no further than the Seamaster 600 ploprof. Don't ask me why it's called the ploprof, I'm puzzled just as you are.

It's a big watch.

I know that pictures can be deceiving, therefor I would never buy something without me having seen it IRL. The best one can do is to look at watches in store and then try to fiend the desired watch on the net. I also found this Certina rolex copy which falls into my liking. During a watch hunt in town I was suprised to see that there are hundreds of watches inspired by Oyster Perpetual Submariner and I even took a look at one. I have never been a Rolex fan but now I feel like a want a submariner

Wow, never knew there was so much in the world of watches, I'm impressed by you guys, you guys know your stuff and have great style.

I personally would probablly never pay more than 200 for a watch, I have a skagen right now and I love it, its light and I like the style, and it works for me in every situation.

OK, I have to admit it ....I used to be a big fan of Swatch ...I have quite a few Swatch watches actually ....I'm embarrassed to say how many exactly ...but let's just say I could wear a different watch every day of the year

The crazy thing is, I never wear them

(again)

Anyway, here are some of this seasons designs I like.

Don't be embarrassed Rob. I would be proud if I had a huge collection of watches or anything at all. Swatch watches have cool looks and don't cost that much either which makes them collectors item.
