every watch enthusiast knows DW, and also knows rolex is also overrated tongue.gif

nowadays watch enthusiasts also overrated.
some wont touch boutique brands, while some only go boutique... and very few in-between.
cos too many tom dick harry boutique brands coming up, with china production getting cheaper etc.

[attachmentid=7383646]

can anyone, for the love of everything that's holy, tell me what are the three smaller dials for? the dial on the corner left and the one at the bottom are both showing 30 & 60, what exactly are these? say, the time shown there is 15 40 hours. so how is the time related to the dials?
*
One 30 and 60 dial is for the actual real time seconds.

Another 30 and 60 dial is for timer (chronograph) seconds.

The 5 and 10 dial is the timer (chronograph)) minute counter.

Looks like this watch chronograph function can only time till 10 minutes

i see, i think the current version around rm10-11k
but should be worth it waiting for the new one

I like the BBB too... Trust me. Was looking at it. And still do. But everytime on my wrist... Doesn't work out for me.

But maybe it does for u!

However I prefer the new in house 70 hour power reserve compared to the eta 38/42 hour one.

i tried the red and the blue version,
i always thought the red (burgundy) one was the best version, as it is the model colour to get

but, after trying them both, the blue worked better on my wrist

Thanks for reply. Agreed that Tag is better known brand. But in terms of design i prefer Skindiver 2 more. Don't like the dial of the new Aquaracer. The horizontal lines made it look too busy.

Hence, the struggles. 😅
*
wow, skindiver 2,
i was interested in that design too.


end up getting the Carrera instead, more iconic i guess
