Why would you need a watch that is good to depths of 4000 m? or even 1000m ? What are you going to do, dive that deep? I would like to see what your head would look like at 4000m?hahahhahah...nice looking though!

The exact same reason why I need a car that can go in excess of 150mph....I don't "need" either one.

OK explains why you have never heard of Jovial and the other European brands which cater to ME and Europe...Thanks

Hmmm...I can take my car to 150 and live to see the next day, on the other hand, I cant dive to 4000m and see the next minute of that lovely Rolex

Do you deal with Hublot?

Of course, as the photograph below demonstrates, you can easily have the best of both worlds.

you have rolex, v3, diamond ring, and a bmw. what do you do for living?
you have everything a man could practically want.

Hey everyone,

I got a new toy! This is the Sinn 856 UTC (Dual time zone). Sinn is a small German manufacturer specializing in Pilot-style watches. Automatic movement (ETA-based). The finish is so stealthy... looks like titanium but it uses the hardened "Tegiment" technology that hardens the stainless steel to 1,200 Vickers ~ about 4 times harder than regular stainless steel. Pretty excited about this one as this will be my new daily wearer.

NICE!!!

Hublot. Is that an ETA, Valjoux or Zenith movement?

Hublot is slated to have a pretty big display at next week's Basel... Crious to see what new timepieces they'll be presenting.

Are you active on the Timezone boards??

It's hard not to like the Submariner....I've had a few.

Here's the anniversary model that I bought but didn't keep all that long...I wear a suit daily, and the green just didn't work for me with a suit. Great watch though:

If I were forced to wear only one watch though, I'd be hard pressed to choose any other watch but this one:

Practically?

I'm very blessed, and very thankful to God for his blessings. I run a division of a design engineering firm by day, but do freelance writing and photography to afford my "watch habit."

Nice pickup! Sinn is a high respected producer of fine wristwatches which are a real value. Wear it in good health!

Why only once? I have to admit that the watch really isn't my style, but Hublot is a fine house, and it looks like a great watch.

I guess I'm not entirely sure what you're asking....I are you irritated that other people don't spend money on things you value??

A well loaded e90 can run near 50k, and it's a depreciating asset. But my Rolexes increase in value each and every year. Which is the waste of money here??

Now, if I were truly smart, I'd dump the car, AND the watches, buy a Civic and put the rest of the money on interest....but where's the fun in that?

Ahh...I hear the "I don't like watches" more from the younger folks (I'm 35 so I'm not that old).

I was always brought up to wear a good watch, good shoes, etc. Of course, my father was a watch dealer, so he got me hooked early on...
