What is it about the Submariner?
Hi Guys,I'm new to the forum. I don't own one, but the Submariner has long been my holy grail of watches. I thought it might be cool to wax poetical and ask you guys to describe what draws you to this watch. Here are my thoughts.The Submariner I¡¯m always curious to get a handle on exactly what draws us to certain objects, like works of art, fine writing instruments, or even watches. I¡¯ve thought often of watches and their perfect blending of engineering genius, aesthetics, and functionality. But what is it about the Rolex Submariner that captivates so thoroughly? It is not the most beautiful watch. You cannot even see the movement. The stainless steel version is plain and unassuming. There are hundreds of copies on the market by reputable watchmakers for thousands less. I bought my Seiko for the very reason that it resembled a Submariner. And yet¡­ it¡¯s not a Submariner. I¡¯m not na?ve. I have seen one up close in person in my life. The Submariner is just a watch w

Here's a funny,about my Thin O Matic
Hi,I thought I'd share this. I have a newly acquired Thin O Matic I does well.. The funny is about the fact that it doesn't have any date complication Just simple Three hand .sweep second. This is the first watch I've owned in probably 40 years without a Date display function. The night I got the watch in the mail,I was going about setting the correct time..

I was thinking about how I was going to be able to tell (without a Date indicator) if the watch was in Am,or PM mode Did ya get the funny yet >> ?????? I actually took at least 3 or 4 sec,thinking about this issue. Then my mental alertness finally caug

OT: Tis the season....
Hi everyone, this post is inspired by a post I made on another watch forum that someone titled "What Christmas Gift are you giving to yourself". Let me give a little preface before I tell the story. I've always been a bit of a selfish person and have never really "given" very much as far as other people go. I don't come from a wealthy family but we have always had all we need and most of the time more than we need. I'm not sure what sparked this today but I believe I've had a change of heart (John you can relate to a bit of divine inspiration based on your profile). Anyway, let me also say that there is nothing wrong with giving nice things to yourself or your family. Nothing wrong with that at all. However, this year is going to be a little different for the Flanagan family. Here is my post from the other forum. I thought I'd share it here since this is such a considerate group of watch enthusiasts. The point of this is not self glorification in any way. I just thought maybe it would
