I really like that U-Boat watch, just a pity that it is the size of a kitchen wall clock. :-(
It's not too bad, the Darkmoon - it's 'only' a 44mm which on a decent sized wrist isn't massive really. It wears a lot more snugly than you'd think albeit it's quite a thick watch at the centre of its domed sapphire.
This is my one - I would take a picture of my actual one rather than the stock renders but..... it's bloody difficult to photograph
The big improvement over the Capsoil is the separated battery chamber:
Without that, you're sending the watch back to U Boat in Italy every time it needs a battery
It's a bit of a pointless gimmick piece, but it does look really, really cool and it's extremely well made - the case and strap are excellent.
That is class looking. But I won't wear anything bigger than 38mm. Most of my watches are vintage so are 36mm. I have chicken arms! ;-)It's not too bad, the Darkmoon - it's 'only' a 44mm which on a decent sized wrist isn't massive really.

Afrer seeing that Darkmoon I googled oil filled watches... and discovered the totally bonkers Ressence Type 3

It's ace isn't it. Love that.
My two favourites
Great combo
Is it any surprise whatsoever that I've gone a bit mad and bought about another 3 watches since my last post?
No, it comes as no surprise...Great combo

I got annoyed about the Moonswatch situation so I'm just going to buy the real thing now.
None at all
94 grams of titanium microbrand field watch
I guess that's what they hope for - maybe.
I've seen lots of reviews that are less than favourable but still I'd have chucked a couple of hundred at one.
Did another ooopsie:
More awesome looking time pieces, very nice.
When I got my longines I did look at the tudor pelagos, was very nice but I couldn't get past the squared off "snowflake" hour hand... I like my pointy things to point at them, so it put me off a bit .... but a guy at work has just had the limited edition french navy one... I'm getting drawn into that, very nice....
Plus just seen the new breitling superoceanI was planning on one of them in the future... not now:
Side note...
I've not really taken my hydroconquest off since I got it last October, it's been mountain biking, on the motorbike, work every day, gardening etc. Only removed for building work and welding.
It's holding up very well, got 1 small mark on the crystal, but the bracelet is showing some bad swirls and scuffs:
What do people recommend for keeping these in good order?

I like that Tudor
On the bracelets - no idea mate, mine always seem to stay in good nickDesk dweller innit.
I've been busy again - my 3rd Christopher Ward has arrived, and it's a belter:
Just seen that Seiko have done a Seiko 5 with GMT function - NH34 movement. Given the number of microbrands using NH35/36's - I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say expect a LOT of microbrand GMT's coming out in the next 12 months. Should be some cracking deals
They will show the scars of life unless you take them off for rough work. Get a good Casio for rough work.

Just seen this on a motorcycling YouTube video.
Made from the (unserviceable) metal parts of the Great Escape motorcycle.
Can't help but like it even if it's overdone a bit, and 'only' has an SW200 movement in the back of it (which despite having a few watches with, I'm not a massive fan of).
Bit out of my range at the min, but this looks a good deal for a 18k gold.
