Yeah the site is pretty cool. I haven’t seen anything yet on there I’ve wanted. I added it to my daily browse of woot, 1dealaday, and slickdeals. ---

I hate you guys (and this thread). Every time I see a nice watch that I want, I turn around and go “and that’s HOW MANY race tires? fuck, nevermind” LOL ---

What is everyone’s take on Corum watches? Specifically their Bubble line. I’m just curious. I’m about 2 days away from buying a Submariner. ---

I’m cruising Bernard Watch Co. and I’m taking interest in Grand Carrera Tag’s, and a couple Breitlings. What do you think about this?

Well everyone has different taste so I guess that is up to you. I just really do not like how ordinary the Submariner looks I guess. I have just a citizen eco drive for daily wear and an Oris TT3 like this [http://www.shop.com/Oris\_Men:s\_Tt3\_Automatic\_Chronograph-186675739-219439969-p+.xhtml?sourceid=298](http://www.shop.com/Oris_Men:s_Tt3_Automatic_Chronograph-186675739-219439969-p+.xhtml?sourceid=298) I am actually might pick up a nice skeleton next in a few weeks I think. But I am still in need of a classy type watch I just do not think I will ever wear one that is too formal.

The skeleton looks SICCCCCCCCK. However, I’d like to stick to something more traditional. I like the submariner because its a pretty timeless design. It’s been around for 50 years with minimal changes, and I can wear it with anything. ---

leather straps are ugly, if you’re rocking them with jean and flip flops. however, nothing beats a nice shirt/tie combo and a relatively nice leather band watch. ---

Fuck you man, i swear. anyways… your IWC Portuguese… is there ANYTHING out there swiss made, auto, that looks sorta like it? ![http://img.alibaba.com/photo/103321837/IWC005_IWC_Portuguese_Chrono_watch_White_Blue_SS_New_Asia_7750.jpg](http://img.alibaba.com/photo/103321837/IWC005_IWC_Portuguese_Chrono_watch_White_Blue_SS_New_Asia_7750.jpg) such a smart looking watch. i’m not into a $6k - $10k watch today, but i want that look and feel. I’m over my Speedy Mark40… i like my Oris too much to get another watch that isnt a more significant jump. ---
