Quick Watch Roundup

I thought today I would do a quick roundup of some of the watches i have been seeing online the last few weeks, these range from weird and cheap to bad ass and expensive. All are unique and I would happily sport any of them on a daily basis.

Grey Area and designer Shelter Sierra have given birth to their version of the coveted and classic Rolex Submariner. I'm guessing these guys were tired of saving and scrimping to get the real deal, so they made one out of what they call Platinum Silicone. This is an exact replica of the real thing but without all those stupid time telling features. It comes in two sizes, one for the men and one for the ladies and is available in white or black.

I know you like to practice your drifting in the parking garage on Saturday nights, and you definitely like to drag race at the stop light on main street, but you aren't serious about speed until you own one of these watches. The Vallelunga Chrono is modeled after the classic 60's racing tachometers, and is named after the classic racing circuit located near Rome. The Vallelunga features Swiss Made Ronda 5020.B Quartz Chronograph Movement, a stainless steel case and a KI Glass Crystal With Sapphire Coating. This watch lives life 60 seconds at a time baby.


I showed you the super fake non-working Submariner above, now see the super limited super real Bamford Watch Department Submariner. This watch was built for the bad asses of the world and was tested in real world situations on tour in Afghanistan by military personnel. This watch uses Bamford's proprietary PVD coating system and uses the California dial developed for Allied Forces in WW2. The watch comes in a waterproof Otter Box and comes with the standard NATO strap in case you like that look better. The only down side is the price tag, it might break your wallet in half.
