I got the disco 1911 during that sale. The second hand on the chrono function is just a hair to the right of 12 o clock. Other than that its been a great watch. Been wearing it nearly every day for 4 months.

Love the miyota movements in the invicta. With a day date feature. They're great. I got drunk and gave mine to the groom at a wedding and I missed the watch. Wore it every day. This was to be its replacement. Lol!

The 200M rating and classic diver style is what attracted me. I don't trust most of my watches enough to submerge them truth be told. I'll send it in for servicing and put a nato on it and call it good. Must be a dud. It happens.

I'll get it repaired and then throw the watchband in the trash and replace it with a rubber strap or nato. As I said, good looking watch and the lume is bright and readable, but that bracelet and bezel. Oh well, for the price I paid I figured I'd forego a rep and get a decent quality diver. Quality on this piece just isn't up to snuff.

Just picked up an Orient Mako after reading a lot about them. Figured I'd put it in rotation as a daily beater. Really disappointing. The watch arrived and its not working first off. It has no manual wind feature so I spun it around for a few minutes and set the time and it will run for a little while and stop so, power reserve nonexistent. I'll have to send it in for repair. The band is about the cheapest thing I've seen on a watch. I sized it and where the band meets the lugs is loose and rattles. Its light, low quality and generally cheap feeling and looking. The bezel is difficult to turn and very difficult to grip because of its smooth edges and polished coin edge. Its a good looking watch and I like its quick day set feature. The lume is good and very readable too. My Invicta Abyss Pro Diver was a better day date automatic watch by far. I don't know what all the hype about this watch is. It seems to make it into a lot of peoples top ten of affordable divers watches. Color me not impressed.

In the back of a Piper Navajo, headed back from a village in Arctic Alaska. Do I get bonus points for being the watch enthusiast with a rep nearest to the top of the earth?

Does it need to be a mechanical movement?

Utheman lol! My brother used his ipod nano with a watch strap aftermarket case. Wasn't a fan. Its a good idea that has yet to see its time (no pun intended). Samsung has a flexible screen technology that is pretty nifty. Maybe they should make a wristband that does all the neat things but simply replaces your watches wristband.

LOLZ at all the [censored]'s! The functionality is what I'm really interested in. I like the idea. Imagine if they could just integrate it into the crystal and have a decent watch underneath. It looks like a normal automatic but when you get a text message the crystal becomes a screen and displays the text or caller info. That would be cool. I have smaller wrists so I like to keep my watches at around 40mm, still if it did everything but the dishes and looked like a handsomely styled analog watch I'd wear a bigger piece.

Here is a pic from Cnet taken at CES.

Martian Passport Watch - Watches and wrist devices - CNET Reviews http://reviews.cnet.com/watches-and-wrist-devices/martian-passport-watch/4505-3512_7-35567075.html So this watch pairs with your smartphone, displays text messages, has a vibrating alert, answering calls ala [censored] Tracy by speaking into the watch. The idea has been around for as long as I can remember. Seems like its just now becoming a useful idea with the advent of the cell phone, text messaging and bluetooth technology. At $300 I'd consider putting one in rotation. What do you guys think? Would such a device have a place in your rotation or is it an abomination not fit for the wrist of a discerning watch enthusiast? Just noticed is censored the name "D*ck". Lol!

A seamaster is on my list of gen purchases when I can afford it. You sir have fine horological taste.

My Ebel 1911 Disco rep courtesy ToroBravo. Love this thing, have barely taken it off since I received it.

Love the Orient, I have a Mako. Halios Laguna is a great looking watch as is the EMII Diver. The Landeron is cool looking too, I think I like it the most out of all of your suggestions. B&R watches just aren't to my taste however. Thanks fella's, good suggestions!
