Topic: check out my new wrist watch
squeegee started this discussion 9 years ago #57,762
i haven't worn one in years, but i couldn't resist. it's a wooden case and band and has a swiss quartz mechanism installed. they had mechnical watches too but they were twice the price and thicker. the one i got has a large dial, but it's very thin. the wood is zebrawood, which i've never heard of. i thought it was oak at first. came with a vial of tung oil for conditioning over time. it's very much not water proof though. but man does it look cool.

What are the pin-like things in the circle?

I've never seen a wooden case and band before. Pretty cool.

Nha, he means the holiday decoration. But yeah cool watch dude. I personally dream of vintage watches with some epic history.

the hands or the hour markers?

knob for setting the time

i hadn't either. i've seen some wooden jewelry, but never a watch and band like that. i dunno how durable it'll be in the long run. i bought it in store though, not online, so i got to touch and feel. it feels pretty fucking solid. light weight too, actually. craftsmanship looked great. everything is obviously cnc milled and hand oiled. they were cheaper than their metal watches with metal bands too.

that's kinda what i like about it. we'll have to see what kind of epic history i'll imbue into this watch. i doubt it can withstand being struck with a blunt tomahawk/drug pipe by an angry drunk old indian who doesn't like my white mother. swiss army makes a pretty solid watch too, btw.
