Watches - another OCD problem

[ddtrash]

A rare piece from Ikepod.  This is the Manatee watch with a world time feature on the dial.  Not many of these around, unfortunately I don't have box or paperwork for it.

Owned this for a couple of years, it does not get used much but it gets quite a bit of attention when worn.

Does anyone have any experience/comments/views of Torgoen pilot watches? I've been looking at them lately, especially the T10.

Edit: having looked into these a bit closer,I like the T17 and T32 automatic models.

I don't have any experience with them, but they look ok.  I wouldn't recommend the quartz model, simply because it has a mineral glass crystal, and I always scratch those within minutes of strapping the watch on.

If you like them and can find one at a reasonable price, (I always buy on the used market, personally) then I don't see anything that screams, "Stop!"

I decided to try out a bracelet on my Mid Pilot. I'm liking it so far. Nice alternative to a nato strap.

What do you guys think of the Seiko Astron? It will be my next watch hopefully later this month.

Was that the one in Watchtime a couple of months ago?

I've found a watch that might survive Giles.

It's the Swiss Military Watch 20,000 Feet. You can shoot it with a shotgun…

Or blow it up with explosives…

And it'll keep on running. :o

The only trouble is that it's enormously fat.

Can it survive under the wheel of G's padmorewagon on a gravel driveway?

[Graeme]

Almost certainly.

G's left arm after one month of wearing that Swiss Military 20,000 ft…

Yeah it's Mickey Mouse, but it's also a Japanese made G-Shock with only 3000 made for Tokyo Disneyland. I love Japanese domestic watches!

I dont know how much custom straps are in the UK but mine cost about GBP100 in plain leather. Here is the link to his website. Checkout the gallery for some watch candy:
