Mine's still going strong.

It only gradually gets worn down and there is no obvious discoloration. can't really ask more fom a 7$ watch

- Made with stainless steel of high quality
- Deluxe and elegant outlook
- Precise and accurate
- Compact design and sturdy construction
- Resistant to water splashes
- Winding watch, battery free

Whoa. how does one make something out of high quality?

Also, it claims to be winding... but says Quartz right on the front... weird.

I heard from a fellow watch collector that most are into audio as well. Here are my frequent wears:
IWC Ceramic Inge both on bracelet shown and on leather croc.

My Airboss Mach 6 arrived today. I knew I liked the way it looked, but I'm really surprised by how nice it is in person. I thought I would prefer the Alpnach automatic chrono I already had, but the Airboss face is a much cleaner and sleeker design, which I apparently prefer. It's a big watch at 45mm, but the size now feels just right to me. The shiny silver hands look really awesome against the metalic blue face. Photos really don't do the watch justice. I'm also sold on leather bands with deployment clasps, which are much, much less annoying than regular bands.

(best photo I could find online)

That's quite nice, Bob. I like the dial a lot.

Very nice looking Victorinox!

 

[Mercuttio]

That Victorinox is a huge step up from anything I've seen from that company before!

I'm pretty sure that mechanical / automatic chronographs will never go out of style. Good choice.

It most likely uses an ETA 7750 movement which is great.

 

[Bob_McBob]

I just ordered one of these. For $80, it scratches the Bell & Ross itch quite nicely. Every single person I show this photo to thinks it's hideous. Bah!

Now to get a $20 NATO strap...

 

[glitch39]

I like the Airboss Mach 6. That Valjoux 7750 is a reliable workhorse.

That Parnis is a nice clone of the B&R. Even the crown..... wow!

 

[immtbiker]

Looks more like a Tag Monaco.

 

[Bob_McBob]

This is the $3500 B&R it's based on. Parnis makes a PVD finished case version as well, but I was concerned about how well the finish would hold up. Plus, I quite like the basic stainless version.

 

[Mercuttio]

B&R are incredibly interesting looking watches, but for some strange reason I think I'd go Rolex rather than them if I had the scratch. It's probably something to do with the movements they use.
