Not really - but it had to be done!

Given my love of cars, I picked up a Cartier Roadster a few years ago...

TJ,

That Sector reminds me of an Omega Speedmaster. Nice looking watch.

Thanks for the compliments. I previously thought that the closest I could get to a swiss watch was a knock-off Rolex and even that was made in China. I started researching the high grade swiss Rolex replicas and found that I could actually own a swiss watch for the same money without being a Posuer!

I started focusing my efforts on the swiss watch manufacturers and found hundereds - some we all heard of, others that are esoteric. I also found many watches are branded with someone elses name, but actually made in parent manufacturing factories. So is the case for Sector. It was a branding that was created to appeal to the gen X adrenaline junkies.. The parent company is now Bulgari, but they are certified swiss made and are members of:

I still have a soft spot for the 50th anniversary submariner. I found a cheap replica of this watch on the streets of LA, but Im at a point in my life (and tired of spending 60-100 dollars annually on fake rolexes) where I will hold out for the reall thing someday!!!!

Try a search in the Off Topic forum too...there was an interesting thread along these same lines last year.

I have a jones for Panerai as well.. Looking at either a Black Seal or a Luminor 1950 CHRONO RATTRAPANT soon.. Just another bad habbit.. I think I could either have another Panerai or a 9Meister 3.8 head.. hmmmmmm.

Love wearing these.....bit of a watch freak as well




Rolex...funny story (btw love 'em)....While flying in the military we start every formation brief with an accurate time hack....Flight lead would say, for instance..."On my hack, it will be 15:22, etc., etc.....". Leads wearing a Rolex would say.."On my hack, it will be Tuesday, 13 June...." I guess you have to be there..

I am a bit of a TAG Heuer freak. One SEL Quartz, one SEL Chronograph, a first generation F1 (with an orange face and bezel!), a Carrera Re-Edition, and the lone Baume & Mercier Capeland.

Traser is a nice watch - has the brightest self illuminating dial of any
