- gtfo of my postpinkfloyd
- I used to not even like the Rolex version, but after seeing in person I do like them for something super conservative...but I'd stick with the Rolex.formed
- Everyone will look, then see it's not a Rolex.formed
- Did you get the Omega? That (the O) is so much nicer than this or the Rolex, imho.formed
- I got rid of the Rolex because it felt a bit flashy. Didn't get the omega atm.pinkfloyd
- What will people think!!!?????set
- Don't look for self worth from the eyes of other people. Just wear the fucking watch that you like.set
- I'd vote no. For that price point, I'd go with a Seiko diver. I *think* this uses a Seiko movement anyway, so I'd just go to the source.showpony

- Interesting: "Raketa watches have been produced for the Red Army, the Soviet Navy, and for North Pole expeditions, as well as for civilians."mandomafioso
- and "Raketa is one of a handful of global watch brands that produces its own movements from start to finish."mandomafioso
- i produce my own movements, usually from start to finish.sarahfailin

- This looks a bit too much like an IWC Portugieser for me - with not so nice dials.
https://monochrome-w…Longcopylover - That IWC is a beauty. Unfortunately about €19,900 over my budget.mort_
- They really are not cheap. But there are more affordable ones - kind of: http://www.chrono24.…Longcopylover
- lvl_13 finds it boring but that's just his opinionpinkfloyd
- Keep your beef on your picture. We IWC-People are civilized and discuss our differences over a cup of tea and some mints. Want one?Longcopylover
- I'm a previous IWC owner, so yes.pinkfloyd
- I kinda feel like this is an example of "you get what you pay for"formed
- I didn't want to say it but there's better options out there around the price range or a little morepinkfloyd

- I'll never understand why...formed
- For practicality!pango
- It's a watch it tell time. And nothing fancy.pango
- don't phones do that? :-)formed
- Ya but you gotta reach for it.pango
- I had one of these for a while. So light you forget you're wearing it. Super accurate and costs less than a £10.monoboy
- The preferred choice of terrorists too I hear. Used in IEDs. So don't wear one in an airport on your way back from anywhere out east. ;)monoboy

- in the mail? where did you buy it from?Hall
- i got this one on ebay for less than half of retail. pretty happy about that.SteveJobs

- highly recommended, just do your due diligenceformed
- looks greatjuhls
- from luxuryreplicas.com ;)OSFA

- lol, it' it's "bit tacky" then why did you order it?formed
- Because I like it anyway. :)Continuity
- as long as you like it, the face does look like a football fieldpinkfloyd
- I heard the same reaction from a person who bought diesel shoes (the wresting looking ones). It's tacky but they needed it for some reason.SoulFly
- http://i.ebayimg.com…SoulFly
- ^ I had a couple of pairs of Diesel trainers years ago, but they had the same shape as football boots or Tigers, with far fewer garish markings than these one.Continuity
- Worst watches ever. Bought one like 5 years ago. Ran so slow the morning after buying it there was literally a 12-hour time difference.VectorMasked
- Tested it for 2 more days and same story. Returned it and got another Diesel watch. Exact same issue with it running slow. 2 days later demanded my money back.VectorMasked
- < And of course it didn't look like this one. Looks like what a Persian douchebag would buy.VectorMasked
- I like it but the face could be a bit less busy. It's line-happy.CyBrainX

I got left this watch from my Grandad who passed away a few years ago now.
Recently got round to getting a few links taken out the strap to fit me.
A few local jewellers were going to charge £20 to do this but ended up refusing as it was a "prestige" watch.
Ended up taking it to a high end watch shop in town that sells watches that are the same price as some homes!
The guy behind the desk when I handed him the watch was like
"WOW!"
"That's the second one of these watches I've ever seen - nice watch!"(Damn nice compliments to get from someone working with such high end watches every day)
So he takes the watch away for 5 minutes and returns with it and lets me try it on to check the size.
Size is perfect.I ask him how much it cost to have the links taken out. He refuses to take any money for it and says it was a pleasure to have seen and worked on the watch.
For the watch geeks, after a bit of detective work online I found out that it's a Omega Chronostop Geneve - 920 Movement - Circa 1970.
Haven't worn a watch for years and years but quite enjoying wearing this - for both it's sentimental value and also because it feels good. With it's blue face it's really eye catching but the watch itself is quite subtle.

- I like the face - not sure about the gold + the strapFax_Benson

- Looks like urinepinkfloyd
- It's from 1960's.
The Gold and strap are not as harsh as shown here I think this is a bad picture.SoulFly - Don't mind it. How big?wordssssss

- Why have a fake watch... never understood thatmimeartist
- There are reasons for some: they don't want to pay a lot; they don't want to get robbed while traveling, etc.Jaline

- A little too generic for meformed
- bought on one of the flash sale sites for under $200randommail

- that Hamilton is beautifulChristian
- Personally don't get this style regardless of brand. Very generic. They look like your average $49.99 watch you can buy at Sears or JCPenny.VectorMasked
- Rolex is nice. The people that care will notice, people that don't won't know a Timex from a Patek Phileppe.formed
- Personally, I prefer the chronograph versions, they just (almost) always look better.formed
- The rolex is a beauty but I think those are too small for me.The orient seems to hold it's own for it's price range. Not too crazy about that hamilton.pinkfloyd
- Now that I've seen it in person, the oriental does look cheap. Replaced with this http://www.swisstime…monNom

- Not sure about the blackened ss. Kinda like those matte black paint jobs on cars, cool, but seems like it'll look dated in a few years.formed
- i could see that.showpony
- what a twat, thats not personalization thats butchering an iconic look. If you don't want the submariner /daytona don't effin buy it you twat.ArchitectofFate
- Where is the time?detritus
- Blakened watches or any aftermarket mods on a rolex voids the certification and rolex won't service them. This brings the cash value way down on them.cannonball1978
