A collector of big, chunky watches. Those huge studs are handsome

Cool. Can tell you fancy ploprof/orange hand.

A nicer term for these brands is "boutique brands" - I am going into these too though not exactly the same brands...

Got a Helson Shark Diver and been enjoying it. Am looking for another diver with ploprof hand - one that I can play with the mesh bracelet - something like a Helson Sharkmaster. The Zixen sings to me but seems nobody owns one locally. Like your Ocean7 and IM but prefer darker blue or black dial.

Divers aside, my 2nd Stowa (MO) is in-coming

Ahh, Helson Sharkdiver, nice

The thing about sharkdiver series is, the L2L is too long for my chopstick wrist,sigh.

yeah, have not come across anyone who owns a Zixen locally although some of my friends were pretty interested but did not get it in the end.

Stowa, a nice watch to have, please share pics here when you receive the watch

Ya the 45mm with the long lugs is unwearable unless you have a big wrist, but they now have a 42mm version which is what I am having. You should be able to carry it off. Watch comes in a nice SS bracelet + rubber strap. Before it was kitted with a leather + rubber strap.

Nice. How come the Bali Hais and Enzo are so similiar? Are they under the same company?

Surprised coz I thought you are a PAM guy

i had the same thinking but don't think so, could be from the same case manufacturer. the Enzo case is slightly smaller than the Bali Hai.

i like nice diving watches in general. for Panerai you can see i collect the Submersible range.

too many boutique brands with nice models being offered.

[pegasi]

Hmm...I read that many of these boutique brands are buying parts from the catalogue. Could be the reason why the two brands are similar. Anyway one gets what one pays for value wise, and fun wise sometimes more than what you would get from a few thousand dollars watch

[leeye]

yup many of the boutique brands have similar cases. for special custom made cases you'll end up paying slightly more (eg. Kazimon, UTS, VDB)
