@TheHobbit: Ooo, hehe. Much to learn :) Thanks. (Personally wouldn't get it, but that's preference, hehe). I'll read up more.  :Praying:

Nice one ;) I was thinking to get one of this but can't see one here in KL  ::)

Scott,

According to my watch guy, it is getting more difficult to get the watch. Rumour has it production is limited. Could be a marketing gimmick.

Kinson, we learn together. Those are the Swatch tourbillon watches (30 minute tourbillon if I remember correctly).

Can't figure out Longines strategy. Both the LLD (no date) and the W.W.W. seems to be hard to find. I do know the W.W.W. is very popular in Japan. My shop guy told me, since launch, he has only seen 2 W.W.W. and 1 LLD.

Its quartz day with my Tutima Field Chrono. I like the watch because it has a centrally mounted minute chrono hand much like the Lemania 5100.

It does look like a Tritium dial, but I don't think so.

On my Marathon today. Very happy as I got a JSAR in coming, from one of the guys who designed and manufactured the prototype no less.



Still thinking about removing the cyclops.  :-\

I love the look of that Milgauss. It's however surprising that it doesn't seem too popular here judging by the lack of members' wristshots.

It'd be my fave Rolex, just that it doesn't have a model with a date, which is essential to me :(

Sadly the Milgauss has had the same experience as the Heritage Chrono. Sad really.
