I'm not too fussed about the images. They were stupid enough to link to my photobucket so I could down every image in a minute if I really was fussed but I'd prefer to keep my old thread here intact and cannot edit it anymore.
Hi all,
So in my watch addicted browsing of the internet I looked up 1016 lughole and noticed some of my photos on the google image search, clicking the link it brought me to: http://www.rw-forum.com/topic/4046-finished-rolex-1016-build/
Which I then searched up and found is a direct copy of:
So just wondering, what the hell is Rw-forum?
Thanks,

The rep game has made me skeptical so no ill faith assumed of Bart but do we have confirmation from Yuki that https://yukiwatch.ecwid.com/ is the site?
I wear a 16610 most days (or a 1016) and the original BB wore too large for me personally with about a 6 inch wrist. The idea of a GMT is cool but I doubt they could do anything near the old classic GMTs but I'm very willing to be proven wrong.
I've found everybody talking about them to be honest. My opinion on the matter would be
Black Bay Bronze: Nice looking but the 3-6-9 dials on a sub never really were my style and 43mm is too big for my taste, though I even found the original BB to wear a bit too big for my liking compared to my sub.
Black Bay Dark: Like to look, not sure if I'm sold on the lack of end-links but otherwise it's got a rather roguish look to it.
Black Bay (Black Dial): Lovely classic look. My favourite.
Heritage Black Bay 36: Great size, No idea why it's a BB though and the indices may be a bit large for my liking.
Tudor Style Fluted Bezel: That watch is hideous to me. It just looks incredibly bloated in the middle and completely out of scale.
Advisor Cognac: I can take it or leave it. I'm not a fan of the new series of advisor to begin with.
Tudor can make some great watches, but I don't see anything here that I'd race out to get (Except the BB black if it were to fit my wrist).
Just bought myself a macro lens today for my DSLR and very quickly churned out a couple of shot.
Worn during the day:
Then during the evening:
In which I found out how dodgy of a watchmaker I was when I looked at the macros.
Personally I agree with either the 1675 which is just a gorgeous watch or a dress watch. I'd probably go with the dress watch as it's a category you don't really fulfil at the moment.
Wear whatever makes you happy, I would have to agree with 508 that dress watches are more fitting but it really depends on the dress code and the like. The watches you've listed could definitely stand out with more formal dress and could run into problems with fitting under the shirt cuff and the Batman or pepsi are both quite colourful. Personally I would go with a dress watch or me being the weirdo I am will probably wear my family pocket watch.
I run into the same issue when contemplating micro-brands as the others above. The price is usually the prohibitive factor and for me personally often the size as most I have seen have pushed to 40mm for the dressier and 42mm+++ for divers which is far to large for me (for reference I generally wear a 1016 with joy and a 16610 for a diver which I wouldn't want to go too much larger than without it looking a bit big). I also find that they generally either look like homages or quite ugly from my experience.
