That's not my Speedmaster. The tachymeter ring is entirely different.

Oh yes, I do so agree. You are driving what kind of car, by the way?

EDIT: The Speedmaster is a hand wound movement?

You are correct Peabody. It also has an acrylic crystal compared to saphire on the GO.

Don't get a fake

I saved up for almost 10 years to buy my Rolex. That's not because I couldn't have bought it sooner, but because I wanted to feel good about the purchase, knowing that I used only money that would've been wasted (ie, the 10th beer on a Thurs night at university, the extra lap dance at 4am, you know - things like that

I really like the Sea Dweller, it's understated, bullet-proof, mechanical, will keep time relatively accurately for as long as you maintain it properly.

For those that like a bigger watch, the Sea Dweller's new version is quite nice.

My opinion on fakes is this: (No disrespect intended)
Buying a fake watch is like wearing a strap-on, it may look like a d!(k, it may work like a d!(k, but it just isn't a d!(k and it sure as hell doesn't make you a man.

That is an apt way of putting things, may I suggest the IWC father and son? Clearly a statement without the flash. Worth a bit more though...singles need not apply.
