TBII is this fall I think. So it matches the 10-year anniversary.

Its like Oakley's version of a Breitling timepiece.

That should be very interesting to see. Are the proportions Breitling'esque as well?

As for your decision Mike, I would go with the Red dial TT myself. I am slightly biased though since picking this thing up recently..



Such a shame these never came on metal bracelets :/

The 12 gauge is freaking HUGE, even bigger than alot of breitlings. Make the Time Tank/Minute Machine actually look small, lol...anyone know if it's gonna be Ti or stainless, stainless will weight a ton!

forgot to see that on the specs sheet.. will let you know when i recieve it.

12 Gauge is Stainless Steel.

Think of Gaudy or overly "Rap Star" sized watch. It is freaking huge and will fit in well with those who like to wear a clock on their arms vs. a wristwatch...Makes a tank look like a Matchbox/Hotwheel Car...

flavaflave style,...

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH BOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYY

Oh man.

I thought buying the glasses were costly. Especially since I was mostly an x-metal guy.

Then I started dabbling in the electronics stuff. Which made me appreciate the o-matter stuff more.

Now I'm getting into the watches.

Curses Oakley! Why must you make such wonderful toys!

Mike

I thought buying the glasses were costly.

They are. Elite starts at nearly $600 and continues all the way to four grand.

well if everything is okey pre order two...
if everything goes well in the black market i could get a lot for my "used" kidney..

hahahaha.

Yeah, for the most part, the elites are out of my reach at this time. Although, the pit boss is within grasp if I stand on my tippy toes and maybe have someone help hold me from falling over.

woops, edited some stuff here ;)

That's good to know. I want a big fat chronograph - if it's bigger than 45mm I'm sold!

can't wait to see the pics!

of what ? the 12 gauge ? the warrant ? or the Timebomb II ?

Ford, I'm pretty sure they left 45mm way behind!

Holy hell will that ever be a big ass watch if it's more than 45mm. You've gotta have some decent sized wrists to make that look normal.

Warrant actually looks much better in person than in pix. It is really a "Tank" shaped holeshot if you will, and it has a nice subtle look to it. I was impressed with that one.

i think the warrant is overpriced. and am not feeling it.
maybe in person.
but for some extra money go with the 12 gauge.

josh you liked the the whitestraps.. right..
well there are coming some new white straps in your military 10th mountain.

There is the Cuban themed Holeshot and Devil's Brigade with white, but I didn't see anything of a 10th Mountain in white...I didn't catch the price point on the warrant, was it high?

those are the same i was talking about..
military since the devils bricade and propaganda are military themed.

yes if i remember the price is high in my opinion since comparing to the 12 gauge or other oakley.

the timebomb II pics is the one i'm waiting for....

Until pics of the 12 Gauge blast their way through here, this is a general idea of what to expect:

btw, the brietling navitimer is one of my fav watches......
classy & elegant..all in one

Well, it's been nearly a year.

My first Time Tank is the Red faced. Thanks everyone for helping me make the decision.

Also, curses everyone! for filling my head (and emptying my wallet) with the desire for more O watches.

After I got the red faced TT, I ended up getting a blue (ice) dial stealth Time Bomb. Then I picked up a black dial / silver inset TT. Then the oakleyvault had that sale on the leather band TT's so I picked up a black dial / black inset and swapped the bands on the Titanium and leather band versions. Now I have an emerald faced x metal time bomb coming to me as well.

And on top of all that, I still want to get:
Yellow faced Time Tank
Black dial 12 gauge ss/cf
Blue dial 12 gauge unobtanium
Time Bomb II

What have I gotten myself into! :D
