And it's just $99.

I'm drooling at that thing. I want shiny watch. Especially with the current exchange rate.

Then I realised that shipping internationally cost $45 (!) and they only took AMEX, which doesn't exist in the Old World.

Oh well, back to looking at my mobile for the time it is.

editeditedit - ooh, there are some new ones on eBay for a decent price! Now just to hope the seller will post to France...

Is that a Kinetic?

Nah, normal chronograph. The model is SNA 755.

I'll try to get decent snaps tonight when I'm not running inbetween classes.

Big thanks to zeroSignal for introducing me to it.

IceBone · November 29th, 2007, 02:43 PM

So what it is is just a watch with 2 timezones?

Absolutely. Seiko is my recommendation as well! I have a 1/5 Alarm Chronograph Cal. 7T62 and like it very much. MSRP is around $425 but you can find them online for a bit under $200.

IceBone · December 9th, 2007, 12:31 AM

7T62 ftw! It's a mechanism, not a watch, Tobias. My SNA755 has the same mechanism.

DILLIGAF · December 14th, 2007, 09:01 PM

here are the 2 of the watches that I am looking at right now.

http://www.bulova.com/brands/bulova/...gin=collection

http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/Engl...ber=AV0031-59A

the Bulova has carbon fiber all through it (probably just stickers), and the Citizens feels like I could hurt someone with it. They both are going to cost me the exact same, just have to pick which one.

Between those two, I like the Citizen a lot more. The Bulova looks tacky IMO.

DILLIGAF · December 14th, 2007, 09:59 PM

I am leaning toward the Citizen also. I may end up with both of them. Get one as a gift, and just buy the other. I am going to look at a few Tags tonight, but I am thinking they are going to be double the price.

Steve Levin · December 14th, 2007, 10:15 PM

I've had a few watches (three Heuers, one Rolex) over the years but for the past 12 years have been wearing this particular watch since it was given to me as a gift. It's a wonderful reminder of kindness.

^ Omega Moon Watch FTMW! I have one from the 1960s on a bracelet.

But post it up here instead; it's sorta the forum's watch tally.

Fossil watch, with changeable background (red or black), and the hour & minute hands glow in the dark.

Nothing fancy, apart from the background colour.... guess that was the reason why the battery died not too long ago.

How exactly do you get to it? images/smilies/blink.gif

see that little button by 2'o clock direction?

press that and it will change the background colour. Hold the button for 2sec and then the background colour blinks red and black.

btw, i bought it for $65 dollars
