Who's got a nice watch? Traditional watches only, no smartwatches please.

[rockthecasbah]

this is my baby...$2.00 US at Burger King... Seriously im 16 and i wear this watch every day. Novelty children's watches = stylin'. I didn't take that photo though, i ebayed for it to find one.

A couple of years ago there was a story in the local paper about a guy who found a gold Rolex on the beach, that's got to be worth $5,000+.
He contacted Rolex, or handed to the Police who did, and they traced it by the serial number to a local guy who'd lost it a year earlier surfing, and it still worked

years ago i lost a rolex while snow skiing in tahoe. i noticed my watch was missing while having lunch and figured it was gone for good. while heading out to retrace my runs i noticed a " lost and found" office and thought i'd give it a shot. sure enough, someone had turned it in. karma's a wonderful thing.

well, most of the time...

Ah! A watch thread...

My everyday watch:

and my dressy watch (not exactly the same as mine - white dial, black sub-dials):

and my 'every-now-and-again' watch :

I've also had a deposit down on a Daytona for the past few years. Am hoping for the call any time soon

 

[Sirus The Virus]

If I had a watch it would be similar to this. If not the exact same thing.

I was just waiting for someone to post a Panerai and lo and behold someone has done! You lucky sod. The one I wanted was in a brushed finish. I so nearly parted with my cash but decided not to cos of an 18 month wait on that model. The Irony is, I think it was about 18 months ago!

IWC, another stunner. Ever since I seen Tom Cruse slap on the Mark XV in Vanilla Sky I've wanted one.

Someone posted the Omega Seamaster. I had the automatic a few years back. One serious heavy mutha! Damn thing wasnt good at time keeping though, maybe mine slipped thru Chronometer certification without their usual testing? Anyway I'm considering a Speedmaster.....I think i'll prowl ebay.

i'm also a panarai fan. a friend has a platinum power reserve that i've been lusting after for quite some time. its huge but amazingly light.

someday...

IWC makes some nice watches

Someone posted the Omega Seamaster. ... I'm considering a Speedmaster...

Talking about me, maybe? I posted a SpeedMaster though. Mine's a replica of the original one taken to the moon. It's fully manual, and keeps excellent time. Funny, I was thinking of getting a SeaMaster

I'm still pining away for an Explorer I, but at $3000 it's out of my budget

I bought a second hand Breitling Blackbird (Special Edition). I never wear it though. It irritates my skin really badly and I think it's too bulky looking on my skiny wrists.

Breitling don't make that model anymore though so i'm going to hang on to it for a while ...

I, too, tend to trash watches. I have a couple of Timex Explorers that are in various stages of biting the dust. They say they are waterproof to 100 meters - they aren't! 20 meters usually does them in!

So I moved on to the Suunto Mosquito. Made myself sick when I scratched the face, but if I am going to use it, it is going to get beat up a bit...

 

[Diavilo1]

I'm afraid i fall into the category that if I can wear it, I can lose it. So I don't ever really spend much on watches in fact, I haven't had one for years until a few months ago when I received one from microsoft (please don't hurt me, its my job! It was for meeting a quarterly quota or something, too bad Apple doesn't do this more, I sold over $275,000 worth of Mac hardware this year so far - I think I deserve a shirt or something!)

 

[Phat_Pat]

Its a remote control for the TV.


Thing is a absolute blast in stores like Best Buy, Compusa, Frys, ect.

Works with any TV and is just really fun to use.

...try it out in class.. now theres a fun game

 

[devastator777]

Hey u guys I also have a black Rado Diastar Sintra made only made in swiss-cheese-land for 3600 us dollars....

I have trouble with watches too; never believe waterproof depth. I had a Swatch break on me at around 2m when it was supposed to be something like 30m.

Suunto watches I like though.

Well 30m is usually showers and surface swimming....if you want to be able to trst it....buy a "real" watch...that the facts are true

I also hate having any rings on my hands or anything on my wrists. I'm very particular about my hands - not sure where it came from, I've been that way since I was a child.

I have a decent Skagen pocket watch which I rarely use. It needs a new battery. I use it when I get dressed up which is very rare. Usually I just use my cell phone which is always one me.

i have a ton of just little inexpensive watches. i am not super easy on my watches/jewlery. i was given a Cartier watch and it was stolen. [sigh] the nicest watch i have now is a Movado (esperanza) - picture below:

no idea on now "nice" that is, i didn't buy it. i love Movado though, nice stuff.

Nice taste. I also really like Movado's designs - sometimes they make me feel bad about not liking wrist watches.

Well, if it's any consolation, your Movado is still a damn fine looking watch iBlue. I understand that it's no Cartier though.
