hey! don't stop now!!! armored what... :( LOL.

heh, since we're sharing what we do at work, i drafted these millwork details:


and started to pick up on my portfolio again (while the boss isn't looking, of course)... still looks bleh...

Damn it Phil

you got me be board too now LOL

Here's my version

thanks for sharing Phil! that is some skills you got. And good memory too!

Very nice!

Ollie - you should do that stuff for a living - how about a pic of what YOU think the face will look like based on the current info?

My guy couldnt give me any info on the tank but advised i should keep a close eye on oakley.com for info (wink wink)

I got a little info. from customer service, here's what they had to say:

"Do have a bit more info on the Tank. It may change but it should be out in the Spring. It's a titanium watch with a sapphire crystal face somewhere in the $1200 range. There may also be a version with a leather band, I imagine that would be a little cheaper."

Thanks Dan, Its great youtalked to someone who was willing to spill the beans.

I sometimes seem to get lucky with CS. I actually was asking about something else and the rep. must of remembered me asking about the watch a little while back. So he answered my question and just offered the Tread/Tank info.

Just to make sure: the new name is Thread right ? or did the rep called it Tank ?

The rep actually said Tank. But I do remember someone on the Review saying that the name Tank is already used by a different watch company. But Tank is still what the rep was calling it nonetheless.

Cartier uses the Tank designation for a squarish series of their watches. Whether that would interfere with Oakley calling a watch 'Tank' I'm not sure.

I have heard that the offical name for the watch is....

Time Tank

Doesn't roll off the tongue as easily, but I guess rather than renaming it completely.

Meh, should've stuck with Tread. It's more of an attention grabber, IMO.

Tank Tread would be cool...

i agree... Tank Tread does sound a bit better than Time Tank.

Time Tank? That sounds a little hokey to me. Tread would have been a much better name in my opinion.

I'm with Bong, Oak, and eddyc on that. Tread is way cooler. If it does end up being Time Tank, I'm sure most of us will just refer to it as the tank anyway.

Being as acronym happy as we are and using our own O-lingo...I'm sure the TT will end up being....well, TT...

Time Tank? That's the best they could come up with? Time Bomb 2.0 would've sounded better than Time Tank.

come onnnnnn lets see a pic! im dying here !

I just got the new watch list for 2006
1. Jury leather(Green,Blue,Pink)Price???
2. Blade II with enterchanable leather bands and face.$450-500.
3. Judge leather$550-625
4. Time Tank $995-1195
5.M2 series.$575-725
Lets keep this quiet thanks.

"Blade II with enterchanable leather bands and face.$450-500"

sounds fookin awesome to me, i hope one of the options will be stealth/cannon red

so the M2 I saw listed is just....M2. That clear things up I guess.

Thanks a lot for the info Mando.

Yeah Blade 2 sounds good, but on the Saddleback, I did not like a heavy face on a leather band, felt weird.

Cant wait to see those new watches.
