I'm limited in more ways than one at the moment ... Last weekend I moved into my new place (Hurrah!), which now comes complete with 330 lovely mortgage payments to curb my watch expediture (Boo!). If that wasn't bad enough, BT have quoted 20-25 days before I can have a working Internet connection! eek I'm already suffering from withdrawal symptoms, and even though I have Internet access at work, the majority of images on here are blocked! frown

So pretty annoying! Anyway, not all is lost! I'm looking for the next fix, which I hope to get some time in the Summer - Providing the boiler doesn't fail wink I quite fancy something that preferably isn't a diver's watch, something with a see-through display back and maybe with chrono function for £2K or less? At the moment I really like the Victorinox Swiss Army Dive Master 500 Mecha or the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph!

Not sure whether to buy the Dive Master 500 sooner in the year, or wait a little longer and save for the Carrera? Any thoughts or other suggestions?





Out of interest, is the movement in the Carrera based on a VJ7750?

That sounds like a right tt of a restriction. Poor you wink
hehe

I suppose I don't really know what I want at the moment, as I'd prefer something a little different to a diver, but then again I am taken by the Dive Master 500! I think I'll wait it out for a bit and save - See what comes along smile

Cheers for the heads up on the Chronomaster update - There are some nice pieces there! I'll have a look back there later into the year smile

The Dive master has neither a see-through back nor a chrono function.

Thanks for the info VXR - I think you're right smile I need to make my mind up what I'd like next! I'd really like a watch with a display back, but then again my small collection is lacking a chrono! wink
