Anyone know of any cheap jump hour watches or decent replica's of Muller Crazy Hours?

Night and Day

Breakdown of mods:
-Yobokies Sinn-esque orange/black dial with reapplied lume
-Bare chapter ring
-Ti-blasted casing
-Yobokies hands
-No-date mod

All in all, a much cleaner look for a Monster, because you can't be loud and in your face everywhere.

I'll throw a pic of it on my wrist tomorrow.

Daddy likey. I normally don't like the Monster mods, but yours is very understated and clean. Nice job.

I wouldn't mind getting a classic LED watch like I used to have in the late 70s!

Speaking of the '70's, I would like one of the big fat leather bands like the ones that we all had that went along with our square toes boots
with the bands and metal circle that was down by the ankle.

Sort of like this, but much nicer. The watch was held on by 2 pieces of leather that went through the spring loaded band holder, with snaps:

Yeah...baby!

Junghans max bill chrono seems like an amazing watch, i want one,

Anyone here happen to have the new model Rolex Submariner? The one with the new 'Cerachrom' Ceramic bezel? I'm pretty sure we're going to get the Submariner for my dad for his 50th birthday, and judging by the pictures I've seen online, the ceramic bezel is beautiful. I'm certainly hoping the dealer I go through will have them when I am ready for purchase, but I figured I'd see if anyone has held one or had on in their possession and has 1st hand experience with it.

I actually like Fossil's leather bands quite a bit. As a watchmaker I think they're all style and no substance, but as a leather-goods company they seem to make pretty decent stuff. I've shown this picture in this thread before, I think, but it is of relation... and they have many others that might be more of the right style. Cost me $25 I think, at the Fossil store that is actually right down the street from Omega on 5th Ave.

The snaps are very secure, and you have to remember that this is in some ways more safe than a normal watch-band... if one spring-bar or securing device (in this case a snap) fails, the other will still hold on. Which is also why NATOs are so popular. Funny that the safest strap possible is also one of the cheapest!

^That actually looks really nice, especially compared to a regular bund. I think I'm gonna have to snag one even though I had just bought a Jurgen Flieger.

It's pretty cool. The leather is sort of "stamped" to have that cool border, it's nicely ridged. The only downside is that the buckle has a huge "FOSSIL" on it; that could be a downside if you're a watch snob.

Watch I got for my birthday, a Seiko premier model that is powered by kinetic energy, no batteries needed.

The way it's built, I think it'd last me a life time too.

Sorry for picture quality, taken with phone camera.

Here's some:

Wide Leather Watch Bands

None of them are as nice as Mercuttio's though. Although, I wouldn't want it to say Fossil on it, though.
