trailboss99 996 Posted March 25, 2011 there are digis that belong in any serious collection yes but I'm not sure there are any Diesel's umong them. However if you like it, why not? There are others I'd chose first, Casio, Seiko, Citizen, Sunuto and others all make very good digis. There are also the more eclectic digis that use a true digital method of telling time. They may take a while to learn how to read instantly but they do make a greaty talking point. Some of these can be quite expensive but almost all have a homage version available. Col.

Kusanagi 0 Posted March 26, 2011 My favorites are the analog/digital types like the Breitling Aerospace and Bell & Ross BR 03 Type Aviation. I have a gen Aerospace and it is one of my favorite travel watches. Multiple time zones, decent alarm, etc. From what I can tell they both use the same, or at least a very similar movement whereby all functions are operated from the stem. (No pushers.) There are replicas made with the same movements, but they are on the expensive side. High End Replicamake Bell & Ross BR 03 Type Aviation There are also some cheaper replicas using different movements, but they are very easy to spot due to the wrong size digi windows (too big vertically) and wrong color digital displays. Also, the ones i have seen have pushbuttons on the case, another dead giveaway. Low End Replicamake Bell & Ross BR 03 Type Aviation Replica I have seen Breitling Aerospace replicas somewhere, but it was not a trusted dealer and I do not remember where. It could have been scam sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted March 26, 2011 Oh, I dunno - I think I have to go along with Douglas Adams on this: "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
