i do like it, got it through the amazon sale? i saw a tw steel watch reduced from 700 to £207 on there. lets open a can of worms here and ask what people think of tag heuer's? my mate in work (used to be on here, had a spec c rar) spent 6k on a breitling. looks f**king stunning but personally i couldnt justify that amount of money on a watch.

That's a good buy at that price surely?

Although out of stock now!

48mm, that's a clock

I'm guessing you're quite a big build in order to pull off a watch that size. I have tiny wrists so 42mm is as big as I can go without looking silly. Nice watch though

I ordered this last week and it turned up today

...ditched the stainless steel bracelet immediately and fitted a bond style Nato strap.

My new daily beater.

No sure if anyone has ever sent their watch off for a clean and polish, but recently got this done to my Breitling (which I wear daily and don't really take very good care of, so covered in scuffs) but when I got it back a couple of weeks ago it was like brand new! Would recommend it to anyone when they've got theirs sent off for a service!

I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with TW Steel watches.

I've purchased another 2 since this photo was taken. Must.stop. Lol!

They are nice watches.

I need a nice watch just for work where it can take a little knocking about. Any suggestions?

Love it, 48mm is a bit smaller than I'm used to but reckon it would look sweet!

Been musing over a grown ups watch (I have four G Shocks because I'm so damn extreme...

) for a while so thought I'd get this to see how I get on - currently on it's way from Creation Watches:

It may be a slippery slope - very much like the Longines Hydroconquest, the Breitling Avenger Seawolf, the Omega Speedmaster Pro and a few others...

I've had a Traser P6500 Code Blue for about 5 years.

Did it arrive fairly quickly?

I need time to tell the missus I've made another naughty purchase. Always goes down like a lead balloon...

Mine came in 4 working days and you can track it online. I told my girlfriend just the other day "if you see me wearing a different watch, I sold an old unused one so wanted a new one to replace it."
