tmg Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nanuq, whenever I see your James Bond Sub I'm the guy sitting in dentist chair with the suction tube hanging on the side of my mouth -drooool drooool It's a lovely piece! SWEEEEEEEEEEET! I love how that model has come along. I've given away 3 of them, the ones I received just didn't "do it" for me. But that one is nice. That is a magnificent GMT hand! Me?

eunomians Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 and the fraternal twins this weekend, boy all my reps are either in pieces or on a The Zigmeister vacation TMG - I've got a Steel Marathon Navigator that I frankened 7+ years ago into a Type 1 with Bill's parts. Is that watch I see a Marathon? It does not look like an MMT. Here's a pic of my Homage Type 1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmg Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Euno, you've got great taste my friend! Yes it's a franken Marathon Type 1 that Bill put together for me a good 5-6 years ago, long before I discovered reps. -One of these days I'll see about having an ETA dropped in it and a taller domed crystal. I guess I would be one of the 3 people that you mentioned in the 60's that would have opted for the Tropic strap on a sub BTW, great strap on the Nautilus.

tmg Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nice Avitt! I'm not that much of a modern Panerai fan but I'm feeling the need for titanium and love the tobacco dial.

Guest avitt Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nice Avitt! I'm not that much of a modern Panerai fan but I'm feeling the need for titanium and love the tobacco dial. I recommend that you give one a try, tmg. This is among my favorite casual watches, and is very comfortable to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would be one of the 3 people that you mentioned in the 60's that would have opted for the Tropic strap on a sub BTW, great strap on the Nautilus. TMG - I'd love to put in a mechanical ETA into the Marathon. I think that it might not be possible, somewhere I read about this (but I can't recall where). You never know though. I've wanted to do this for a long time (this includes a Benrus Type I+II styled crystal). I should've bought a Type I or II when they were still $400-$500. Those days are long over. I've always wanted to make a Type 1 out of an old Black Navigator that I have, but now my composite Nav had turned into a collector's item (2000 issue). Similar tastes, my friend! PS.

tmg Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Euno, I haven't even asked around to see if an ETA can even be fitted in the Marathon, so that could indeed be the case. Curiously what to you think about this, I've eyeballed it for a long time. Type 1 It's powered by an ETA and has the correct shaped case back. Funny, I had a black Navigator as well but sold it a few years ago. TMG - I'd love to put in a mechanical ETA into the Marathon.

eunomians Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 The "Rayrus" is a good watch (at least I have heard this). Ray makes some interesting items. I like the Ruhla and some of the inexpensive divers he has available. They make for nice beaters. His lume is of poor quality though. I think that the mineral crystal was used because making an acrylic dome like the Type 1+2 was very difficult. I am not a fan of mineral, especially if it's on a so-called vintage military piece. However, perhaps it could be modded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Understood Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Is it alright for ladies to play in this game? On the week-end I'll sport my favorite, a Gubelin "bras en air" platinum wonder. This delightful watch shows the Colossus of Rhodes in a relaxed, nee flaccid state until the button is held, when he raises his arms to show the time. It is most marvelous to watch. And when the hour reaches morning, other portions of the dial are likewise animated to demonstrate the (ahem) rising of the sun. I do so love that part.

Pix Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Something different today. Seiko Kinetic is the first quartz watch powered by human movement. The process uses an oscillating weight that is rotated by the movement of your wrist: this movement is transformed into a magnetic charge, then into electricity, which is stored in a tiny capacitor or a rechargeable battery. A Power Reserve Indicator shows exactly how much energy you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Ok, not a rep, but just got a few hours ago and the dial and bracelet are very nice, at great risk I would say this is pretty close to the seamaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
