No matter what watch I like leather strap..the metal bracelet watches always catch my arm hairs...and I like the look of a weathered leather band on a watch for that wabi sabi-ness.

(Nov 1 07, 05:24)yeah i generally go for that or that sort of rubber some have these days... I just dont like shiny stuff too much...
Although some models are MEANT to have the old metal bracelet...couldn't be done any other way... so i give in to those...

Those Panerai are gorgeous - that black one especially. Are they a new-ish brand? I've only seen them advertised over the past few years.
I'm such a tight-wad though - I'd have to be a millionaire many times over before I'd even consider spending more than a few hundred quid on a watch or any other decorative jewellery - I just think... well, it's a bit ostentatious, isn't it?
So do I consider watches an investment? No - they're just 'things'.

yeah, but the crown of the 00292 is the classic 1950 design- a classic. you can retrofit w/ rubber band as well. it is an option to purchase the band kit.

they have been building timepieces since 1860. not too new to the scene...

(Nov 1 07, 05:37)a classic indeed! i like it, and i think it looks great on that model but it's a personal touch that i would prefer...for myself, that is.

heh, I saw your 'classic 1950' design immediately after I posted, so figured I'd be a bit out.
They are beautiful though - I've seen the ads crop up in the Economist and National Geographic 'recently', so wondered whether it was an old brand revived, or whether it'd always existed as a watch co.

(Nov 1 07, 05:29)i had one of those when i was a kid
i remember i got it for my birthday and i was so excited to show it off at school......unfortunately some bastard kid broke his arm on his dirtbike on the weekend and took away all the attention from my brand new watch
i tried to get everybody excited about it the next day, but it was too late

all your fancy-ass metal watches with analog dials look the fucking same to me.
also, shopping for anything so single-purposed and so similar in performance like a watch by starting out with a *target price range* is idiotic.
carry on.
