Some people prefer it that way because then the watch isn't sitting the ~2mm higher on your wrist that it does with a one piece.

I have three different NATO's...all one piece straps. I get them from a guy on eBay called roti.

The problem is that they are very hard to find.

I've got one

I was saying I wasn't sure which strap to go for.

Yes I know, it's all scratched and shit. But it's my Dad's watch, and has sentimental value.

I took that picture with my phone btw.

EvilGenius · 23rd May 2008, 11:47 PM

I really shouldn't wear it to work though

Tomee · 24th May 2008, 6:07 PM

http://www.toywatchusa.com/

I like those cheap plastic knockoffs Tomee, but not those by Toy Watches. A few other companies make them. They are popular in Japon art-watch circles.

They look great on pretty Nord girls decked out in Vibskov.

AuroythmiX** · 25th May 2008, 12:27 AM

Can someone explain the plastic watches thing to me?

I dont get it.

vindicator · 25th May 2008, 12:39 AM

It's just taking the piss.

I'm sure a lot of celebrities tote them as an anti-establishment stab at luxury accessories.

I like them because I consider watches expensive toys. These are built like toys.

A self deprecating joke.

Why not? Just out of interest, are you an aviator?

Tomee · 25th May 2008, 7:49 PM

pretty cool, didnt know Panerai did a limited edition Sylvester Stallone.

i know Sylvester loves wearing them.

Quote:

Stallone sparked the trend back in 1995 when he was window-shopping in Rome during the shooting of the film Daylight. The actor saw a Panerai Luminor in a jewelry store and bought one to wear during the film. He liked it so much that he asked the tiny Florence-based watchmaker to produce 200 of them in a limited edition with his signature on the case back. It was called Slytech. He apparently received only 15 of the timepieces, which he offered as gifts to friends. He still has two at home.

Hey fellas.

I'm after a watch around the $100 mark, preferably something which looks half decent but not over-doing it.

I've got my eyes on Seiko, which of these would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

It has the sapphire screen so if you got one similar without it prob be around the 100-150 mark.
