Show me your black/stealth watches!

[FreeLitres]

My small watch collection lacks a black watch.

I prefer a slightly larger watch (at least 42mm) and like the robust look of divers watches. I need some inspiration!

Your starter for 10:




What ya got?

It's a chunky bugger though - 50mm..

Not one of mine (sadly!) but what immediately sprang to mind when you said black / stealth!

[FreeLitres]

That looks great! The case looks the same as the TW Steel above.

Just how big are they?

ETA: The B&R looks great too. Are those black face/dark markings layouts almost impossible to read except in bright lights?

42mm.. bit pricey at £2,700 though

Good point. It would be nice to see some more of the higher end stuff in this thread, but my budget will be limited to £250 - £300 tops.

Looks like great value! Where did you get it from? Do they do a version with the grey numbers like the B&R above?

Got mine from ebay.

Not the same seller, but he has good feedback: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parnis-Black-dial-50mm-P...

Can't see one with black numbers I'm afraid. One with white, but there's a hefty P&P charge...

50mm?! I'm note sure I could carry that off.

[Funk]

It is somewhat tank-like.

But then so am I.

I got this for my 40th, thanks to the PH watch community for beating me into submission...




Oh, and photographing watches on the blackberry is not easy

Maranello V8 PVD & white gold.

Was quite silly at 9000 dollars but now discontinued and available for a fair bit less.
