What watch do you wear?

Is that a 3706? Nice! I'm thinking about getting the 3717 next, but I might wait to see if they come out with a new Pilot chrono soon. Not a big fan of chronos but the IWC pilots speak to me:)

you know watches...(the Sinn gave that away) 3706, maybe 15 years old...
never been serviced, still runs within CSOC spec, maybe -2 sec/day

the 3706 so plain and functional, the 3717 is nice, but I'm not sold 100% on the hands, I like simplicity (why the Sinn looks so good imo)

I have 2 chronographs, the 3706 and a Speedmaster 'moony' Pro, imo, a must have for any watch guy (the real one, steel back, Hesalite crystal, if it marrs, easily fixed with some plastic polish)
 
Plain and functional is what I like in a watch too. However, I like the propeller blade shaped hands and the small red sec hand on the 3717. The Vintage Ingenieur is high on my list too. If it was antimagnetic like the old ones it would already be on my wrist.
The speedmaster is a classic and I would go that route if I'm in for another chrono after the IWC.
Currently I am trying to decide between the PAM 000, the 112 or the 176. I never had a watch without a second hand, but the clean dial looks great. The 176 is in the lead because I like the titanium.
 
can't really go wrong with any IWC

I have a 111H (got it because it was the closest to the original military dive watch)
although the 176 (actually the sec hand version 177?) in Ti was my first choice, but more than I wanted to spend....

out of 000, 112 and 176
I think you're on track with the 176, second would be 112 and lastly 000 (don't like the logo)
bear in mind the non-second hand movements, iirc, aren't COSC certified...(not a big to deal to most)

I'm lusting for a 305

I could be wrong, but I don't think any of the IWCs are COSC certified either. Doesn't bother me one bit, especially if there is no sec hand.

My ranking of those PAMs is the same...I will probably go with the 177 if I can't stand not having a second hand.

That submersible is great.
 
Right now it's between my Citizens Sky Hawk Eco-Drive, Seiko Chronograph, a vintage Timex Square faced analog watch and my Solar Powered Casio G-Shock, (which I can't find right now).
 
The lume on that Black Monster is awesome! :thumbup:
How long can it keep that kind of brightness?

The best of lume will only be able to keep that brightness for 5minutes max, then it starts to slowly dwindle to the level of Tritium tubes at the 30-60minute mark, they will still be perfectly legible after 7+hours if your eyes are fully adapted to the dark.
