I am struggled with thoughts on whether to buy it or not. And canceled in the end. The Atacama's looks literally speak to my black heart and soul. However, the amount of negative reviews regarding quality control and the overall scratch resistance of the "Carbonox" case material convinced me to cancel the purchase. For this price tag results are just pathetic... litterally same as casio for 30 USD I ordered a carbon watch from a microbrand as a "time token" instead. Am I crazy and have I been staring into the abyss of the watch market for too long? looks like I will need to by DLC coated Breitling in the end any way. To have some thing that not loose a look and age well being daily used. G-shock is a King having ability to change and fix outside case obviosly, and looks like a new thanks to that. But I was seaching classic field watch look this time. P.S. And luminox even have kind of decent but budget quartz movement, not even seiko quartz inside... Time token have at least curiose sea gull mechanics (I would still swap it to sekio quartz though)...

Gentlemen, I’d like to get your thoughts on the Venezianico Bucintoro. Previously, my decision on whether or not to buy a watch came down to two decisions: a) price point b) looks. However, as my tastes have evolved, I know look at timepieces more critically, however, there is still so much I don’t know. Therefore, I’m soliciting your advice in this lovely chronograph made from a company I’ve never heard of. Is this worth the $2,285 price tag? The Venezianico Bucintoro.takes its name from the legendary ceremonial boat used by the Doge of Venice, reinterpreting the elegance of the Historical Regatta through watchmaking. Its design brings together speed, precision and tradition in a piece with a sporty character and refined presence. ​ With a 42 mm case, domed sapphire crystal, 100-metre water resistance and a Japanese NE88 automatic chronograph movement with column wheel and vertical clutch, the Bucintoro is made for those looking for a technical watch without giving up the beauty of detail. A tribute to movement, water and time lived with style. https://www.google.com/search?q=Venezianico+Bucintoro.+reviews&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari&sei=jm1KapXlHti2qtsP0fXu0Ao#lfId=ChxjMe

Greetings. Who can tell from experience how actually mechanical watches survived actual field? Or let's say just extensive shooting on the shooting range + daily workouts? Maintanence? Break's? Life span without damage/repairs?

Today is Pi day! I hope everyone has a great 3.14 My Pi day is always a day to remember as it is my anniversary. 11 years now. We got married on the Pi'est of PI days as for the next 100 years we'll not see another like it 3.14.15. This is the watch I wore when I married my wife. Let see photos of your watch you had when you where married. It doesnt need to be marriage, show us your watches that have sentimental value.

Well... What can I say. If it would be my first watch I probably wouldn't by any one more. And not started collecting them at all XD For me it's pure perfection. P.S. It kind of freezing outside -35 C. That was the temperature of the parcel and the watch in ''postomat'' parcel dispencer macine. This watches don't care much obviosly.
