Stowa's Marine Original for today, and most probably for the big day tomorrow as well.



Stowa MO

That just looks so nice. The older logo/font works far better than the current one on the Marine watches.

Very similar to the limited edition IWC FA Jones watches from around 2005....

Not sure how long it's been out but Stowa now do a bronze case Marine.

Snap with the Casio Royale. Stuck mine on a black silicone strap. Fun watch, lots of bang for the buck.

Double snap... Had mine on a tan rally strap earlier, but back to original steel now.




Moved the tan strap onto another casio and think it suits it.

My new to me 2011 Planet Ocean. Love it.

Quality driver, it has perfect height/depth/length ratio as well, so well proportioned for what appears to be a big watch it wears perfectly and makes the obvious choice look like a toy.

Got this mako XL for Xmas. A very nice watch for not a lot of money.

Hi everyone. Long time reader, first fime poster in this section. Never been into watches that much before. With my first proper pay packet back in 2000 I bought a nice umbreller, pen and this watch. A guess collection watch from the watch and sunglasses shop. I have worn it almost every day for the past 19 years, through three watch straps.

Its still nice (to me) but I decided I wanted a change, and started reading this and other threads. Someond mentionned Marloe and I liked the idea of supporting a small British watch company. They make very attractive watches. Fast forward a bit, and Santa got me this, a Coniston Speed edition

Its a beautiful object. Might get into this fancy watch scene now!!!

Restrapped this.

Found a seller in Germany who stocks loads of them, it's a perfect fit and I only bent one of the bars when reinserting!

Haven't worn this for months. One of three from India via eBay, all under £20 and lovely little things. Strange dial on this one which seemingly commemorates/has something to do with the Kyoto Protocol to reduce the onset of global warming..

[rolo0151]

Love this. Anymore info on it?

I think it's a 1969 that my dad bought. Makes some sense as he would've been 16. I found it in a drawer and it was a mess. Rust and a really faded dial so had it repaired.

Some interesting watches on this page! Cheers all.

Just arrived.. unboxed but not adjusted bracelet yet.

Well, it’s not been off my wrist since I bought it last week. I’ve never been struck by Omegas previously, but when looking for a holiday/utility watch, I tried it on and was instantly smitten. As a Rolex fanboy, it’s quite a turnaround. Will be interesting to see how long it’s on for; poor Rolexes just sat in their Watchwinder being ignored for the moment!

[CharlesdeGaulle]

That Omega is a handsome and classy-looking watch. I'd much prefer that over a Rolex.

[NDA]

I think the Omega is every bit as good as a Rolex - actually better if you consider the co-axial escapement. It's a lovely thing.

First day on the wrist.
