Yeah, i have never spent a lot on a watch but i do like them. I like that my current watch syncs to the atomic clock...things like that make me happy with my watch!

Yeah, I like the M42 better. I'm not too familiar with this brand though, I thought they had swiss movement.
The clasp, the strap and everything else is the same right? What I don't like about the M42 is there's no calendar window on it.
Does it have to be an automatic?
For this much I'd buy something totally different, then again, these watches are not my style.

This is like that time we spoke about Swatches, Dusty bragged about having 4 X-Rated still in the OG packaging which got me excited. Then he never posted the pictures to make me even more jealous.......

some do. the new ones do. the one I have now has soviet movement. There's 3 straps. One leather, one rubber and a bracelet. I've got the bracelet on it now. The m17 is absolutely awesome and the pictures doesn't do it justice. They make a bunch that aren't automatic, I just prefer them. These watches are so much nicer than the tags and omega's I've seen and considerably less.

yeah, i'm not feeling the vibe. i'd part with the omegas.
the m42 comes with the same bracelet/straps as the m17 though, right? so it's only the face that's changed and the pointers.
In that pricerange i would go with a Tissot for sure.
automatics don't keep time that well though, and you're supposed to service it every 3-5 years no matter what. quartz-s are so much easier to handle.
my dreamwatch is an omega seamaster, but i still can't decide if i wanted to get an automatic or not. Not like i was close to buying one, i'm fine with my Invicta.

these actually keep really good time. What makes you prefer tissot over the lum-tec?
and based on what I've read, the lum-tec's are cheap due to being new, not because of design or parts. The fact that they're a small company, with limited runs and a unique product makes me really like the company.

and if I had the money I'd just get a rolex. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a watch, no real point in getting an omega.

I hope you kept the broken one though?

I traded a broken one for like $50 + 3 TFS What We Know presses to some kid in Canada.

I sold my working one for like £140.

Also, pics! now!

you still have to take any automatic watch for service every 3-5 years though to keep it that way.
I prefer Tissot because of the design and the prestige. Lum-Tec is great though.
You see, i like the seamaster better than the submariner! that's all, plus at that pricerange it wouldn't matter if you got a rolex or an omega.
