+1. A Hublot would be better suited for you!

Not Friday but I finally replaced the strap,

Black leather with white stitching fits better.

Very nice...I'm a hamilton fan...I want another one but the wife was upset enough about the first one.

[LAFNGAS]

not a big watch guy however the Hublot black that some of you guys have posted looks great. whats the cost on one of them, tried ebay for a rough idea but nothing was there in that watch to get a price reference

i know everyone has an opinion however who makes a quality watch, ive seen some nixons that i like but not sure if its just brand name mark up or is truely a decent product.

[Go4Long]

if you think nixons are marked up you're going to love hublots.

The Hublots owned by beyonders here range from $15k-$30k.

Well it depends what you value in a watch. I'd never drop 15k+ on a Hublot but I would for other watch brands that are more in line with my personal philosophy.

Hublot started out in 1980 and made big waves as the first manufacturer to use natural rubber as a watch strap. They used to use predominantly outsourced movements (think ETA) but now use mostly in house movements.

They're great watches if they represent the style and function that you're looking for.

Like any other luxury brand there's a fair amount of markup in them, but they also have a good reputation for reliability behind them and just about anything with a good in-house movement is going to cost some bucks.

Mont Blanc's with in house movements start at around 7k, and they don't carry the same "Prestige" as a Hublot does.

Then again, I can't afford a Hublot so keep that in mind. I've worn them, seen them, but have never owned/lived with one. I'm sure someone like Rage will be able to provide better insight into what makes a Hublot a Hublot.

You can learn more about their movements here: http://www.hublot.com/en_US/movements

EDIT: Totally forgot about Nixon.

Founded in 1997, Nixon is more a fashion watch company than something that most enthusiasts would go for. That doesn't make them bad watches, but their focus is obviously fashion/style compared to anything else.

From what I know their automatics use ETA movements ("The Automatic", for example, uses an ETA 2836-2 movement- an excellent workhorse, but nothing particularly special).

I find them expensive for what they are. "The Ceramic 51-30" is nearly $3k for a watch that uses an ETA 2824-2 and features no complications aside from a date display. Not my cup of tea. But, if the style is what you're looking for, the ETA movement is as reliable as they get.

This is going to get me in trouble but W/E. It's only Wednesday and I DEFINITELY don't wear this watch any more. Got this about 15-17 years ago when I was a kid living in Yemen and we didn't know who THAT DUDE was :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Still gets me every time.

I like having analog/digital watches as I find them quite useful and much less expensive to service than automatics......which are like ticking time bombs, just waiting for $700 services.

If your photo is so large that I can count the folicles on your writst - BIMG.
if your photo is a reaonable size, IMG tag only.

BTW, did you have chicken pox as a child? Got a few smaller scars on that arm there bud.

And really, how difficult is it to just re-size the picture to a more reasonable size?

Wanna be baller Tag whooore :rofl:

Random question on your Calibre 16. How do you find the movement/"power storage" is? My 16 is nearing 2 years old (black face/crown etc) and somedays i'll take it off at like 6pm go to hockey and wake up at 7am and it died throughout the night... :(

[rage2]

Definately not normal. The Cal 16 is a Valjoux 7750, winds in the clockwise direction, 42 hour power reserve. Try manually winding it when you take it off, it'll isolate if it's a winding issue, or a bigger problem with the movement. With a unidirectional winding direction, it's possible that it needs a simple lube service. If it's having a hard time rotating in the winding direction, it'll rotate CCW more often than CW, and it won't wind as much.

2 years is kinda early for service though.
