The watch thread
As well as my Scooby, my other expensive hobby is watches
So any other watch collectors out there? Show us what you got
My current watch is a U-Boat 53mm Classico:
Looking to add a Omega Seamaster PO to my collection. Love this watch

They're advertising the Breitling Navitimer World with Leather strap (Same watch as mine) for RRP £3,720. Discount price £2,975.
I walked into a Jewelers and came out with that watch for £2,495. It was advertised at just over £3k. Not £3,720

I'm rather taken with the Omega Planet Ocean.
Rolex's are way too expensive now for what they are, they seem to raise the prices every month. Still, I love my GMT Master II Ceramic and wouldn't swap it for anything at the moment

A few of mine.
Front front to back and left to right.
Breitling Chronomat Evolution
Chase-Durer Trident FCXII
Breitling Jupitor Pilot
Rolex GMT MasterII Ceramic
Panerai Luminor Daylight
Chase-Durer Abyss
Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer Classic
Breitling Bentley Model 'T'
Omega Planet Ocean Chrono
Shuffled a bit...
Close Classic
My favourites at the moment, are my SeaDweller DeepSea and my Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer Chrono.
Possibly the best clasp in the world.
I have more photos of my other watches but they will not down load, I will have to figure out how to re-size and then I will post them all.
Later Yoza

Actually, no
One of my casios is a wave ceptor, and automatically syncs to the Rugby time signal once every 24 hours. But I get your point with the mechanical watches.

more accurate?
it's either accurate or its not, at least concede that to me.
It is either telling the correct time or it is fibbing, it may be bloody close, but inaccurate all the same.
your retort = epic fail
see a pattern here?

LOL
I would say being within a second (at most) of the actual time at all times throughout each and every day was pretty accurate.
Of course, if you want to start getting all pedantic over the precise interpretation and use of the word "accurate", then both the original post upon which I was commenting on deserves a mention for its use of the term "more accurate" and your use of the far from formal term "epic fail" in the context of literary excellence is somewhat ironic, don't you think ?
