Really nice watch. I'm a big fan of how hefty this watch feels. It doesn't look too big or over-sized either. Perfect size, perfect weight. Just make sure to set the date really, really carefully and take your time. I broke the movement in mine by setting the date too quickly. $150 later, I've learned my lesson.

Have the stealth version. Not a bad watch. I have been wearing the minute machine with red face for a few years so wanted something to change it up once in awhile. It's a lot smaller and lighter which takes some getting used to but it works. Looking forward to picking up the hollowpoint in orange in a couple months. Oakley still makes the best/coolest watches around. Definitely cool to be wearing a watch that not many people have.

Polished/Black 10-231

The watch case housing the time dial has obviously been cranked-up. But what fascinates me most is how comfortable the SS band is. Perhaps it's the small UnOb washers that line the joints throughout the band. The smaller sized links (versus, say, the Time Tank) probably contribute towards better fit on wrists of varying shapes and sizes. In terms of design, I'd say the Time Tank is in a class of it's own. But when it comes to comfort and fit, I'd vote for the Crankcase SS band.

This is a great watch. Not as heavy as the GMT but heavier than a Fossil. The watch looks amazing. I really like the stop watch function. I wish this had an alarm, though. The price is outrageous but I got a good deal. The second hand has it's own eye which is a bit to get used to. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I just picked up the black stealth version and I am very pleased. I have had a Minute Machine for over a year and a half. I used to where different watches all the time but once I got that one, I couldn't find anything else I liked enough to take it's place. I tried the Holeshot 10th mountain division and hated it. It was almost exactly the same as the detonator I had years ago. The watch was light and the band was too thin so I brought it back after a couple weeks. I bought this one online so I wasn't sure what to expect. To my surprise, it was almost as heavy as the machine, which I like. The band was wider that I anticipated which was also a plus. Black on Black is awesome! Very pleased. Only drawback is the band which you need to cut in order to size it. HUGE BUMMER. But overall a great watch!

I finally got my CRANKCASE!!!!!!!!! I was in the right place at the right time at an oakley vault in San Marcos, Texas (props)
and they had one sand face crankcase for get this $200. I kid you not. It feels great to finally own the watch of my dreams.
Has a heft and look to it that makes it feel like a watch that is ten times more expensive. Very stunning piece to kick off my oakley watch collection.

Another good chunky watch from Oakley (I own 3 others) High Quality feel but not quite as comfortable as my GMT or Icon.

My first Oakley watch. I took my time to decide, and once I plumped for the crankcase I knew it was worth the wait. Heavy, over engineered and like so many Oakley products, verging on the pointless, but Fantastic. There is not one negative I can say about this watch.

Polished/Red-Black

I just got mine yesterday for a good price here in Brazil. This is a awsome watch. I wanted before a Minute Machine, but considering the price oportunity, and trying em on, the Crankcase loses for so much little comparing to the MM. I love it.

The red dial with polished case and bracelet makes it a very atractive watch, ull sure be noticeble using this beauty.

I got the Polished/Black watch and soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. It is a fantastic watch. The watch is extremely comfortable to wear, very attractive, and simply put, perfect.

I've always been a fan of "busy" watches, and while I probably won't have a need to use the chronograph all that much, it is still pretty functional if it is needed.

The only true "flaw" on this watch is the small second hand. I dunno, perhaps two hands of different colours would make it more confusing on the face, but the smaller second hand makes it less noticeable. As the chrono arm just sits at twelve doing nothing and looks at first glance that the battery is dead. While not a major deal-breaker, just slightly different than what I am used to with my previous watches (Fossil).

The date number is small, but I do have decent enough vision it isn't a problem, but a small magnifying bubble would had been nice, similar to watch Rolex does on theirs, but not necessarily needed as well.

I would had given this a 4½, however half stars are not here, and since this watch is so phenomenal, I rounded up rather than down.

Ive just got 2x today.
Both with stainless steel bracelets, one with the black face and one with the red.

I like them, not as heavy as i would have hoped. Not sure the clasp is going to annoy me by coming undone often- would have prefered one like my judge. but hey ho.

But time will tell- now i gotta decide if i wear it everyday like i was planning too.

Polished/Black
This is an awesome watch. The SS band is great. It's a very comfortable watch to wear. I've been wanting a Minute Machine, but this one came along at at good deal from a guy that needed some money. I had already tried one on at an O store and knew It would be a good wearing watch. It looks a hundred times better in person. Anyone wanting a classy looking piece with alot of character, this is the watch.

Stealth Black/Black
Amazing watch. Watch is VERY sturdy. I love the the Stealth color combo. The watch has a deployment type clasp on the strap. No issues with it accidently opening.
So far the finish has held up to everything I have put it through. No scratching on the crystal or case. The hour and minute hands are luminecent as are the numbers and hour marks. Kind of a blue glow.
My only complaint is the fact that to adjust the strap you actually have to cut the end off and re-insert it into the deployment clasp. This will prove to be problematic if your wrists get larger due to wait gain or something else. This should be fixed in order to be a perfect watch IMO.
