The watch thread

$250 on ebay, New.

Yep. Ive worn mine nonstop since I got it. Solar and atomic time rulez dood


I deal with air force and NATO pilots at work now and I see all kinds of sweet watches. I just tell them "dont mind the drool"

 

Ok, I'm new to the watch game. Never really had a good one. I'm looking for some ideas for my 50th B-day. There are so many choices, but I wanted some real world input on watches in the 300-450 range.

Let me hear what you think!

I'm not set on anything yet as far as style or color. I just know I like a big watch. Why? 'Cuz I'm not a small guy...

Thanks!

 

just picked up v2 of the Orange Monster

 

Nice one!

Citizen eco drive's are pretty nice, seiko, casio, swiss army, lumi knox, all quality watches for decent prices.

 

Don't know how I missed this thread. I've always liked watches / clocks. My grandfather was a clock maker.

Any way I have a Seiko Coutura for everyday. Thing takes a beating. Big fan of the perpetual calendar. It keeps up with leap year. I have a super thin Movado for the few times I dress up (weddings and funerals) but the damn battery is dead. Another reason I love my Seiko for the kenetic energy.

 

For a watch in that price range I'd take a look at Casio's Edifice line.

 

Skagen for dress, Casio for the daily apocalypse that can be my job.

 

Watches and cars are my two vices..

Currently have a Omega Planet Ocean, a Breitling SO in Abyss Yellow 2 and a Tag Grand Carrera.

Got to put on a $65000 Ulysse Nardin El Toro when I was in the Bahamas this past summer. Cool watch, so far out of my budget though.

 

These are the ones I have for sale

These are the watches I have at the moment.








First watch is a Invicta Men's 5729 Reserve Collection Black and Gunmetal Ion-Plated Chronograph Watch. Link Here

my $11.00 dollar casio analog with a rubber wrist band has been keeping great time for about a year now.

 

I took my Gshock through hell this weekend in a 15 mile obstacle course race. After I was done it was caked in mud and who knows what else. I cleaned it up with water and an old toothbrush and its as good as new

 

I had a Gshock and it did not survive mt biking.......no crashes involved, just sweat, rain, mud and cleaning. It choked. But all my abused up Timex's still work perfectly until they drain their batteries. Some of them I have had for decades and been thru several batteries in the favorites. Nobody is gonna jack ya for your Timex either, lol.

 

sorry to hear that. Ive loved mine so far and its solar so no batteries .

 

I have a Citizen eco drive, and A this is my Bulova is my favorite. It has mother of pearl face and some nice laid diamonds for my ego! lol




Im currently looking for a early 90's SWATCH WATCH with the interchangeable bands and face pieces if anyone knows or remembers these things please share.

 

Shoud be here the day after Christmas!

 

the wifee got me this bad boy for christmas. overnight shipping from japan.



the model is: MTGS1000BD-1A

i guess its casios hand at trying to make a gentlemans watch. i like it. i added to the aviation gs that i have.

 

Best watch I've had.....1st one lasted about 6 years. The lens was so scratched the solar cells wouldn't recharge anymore. On #2 now.

 

Nice box.....hows the watch look?

 

dand:



thats pretty much it in a nutshell. i would use it to go out. but my personal favorites are these two. i like the way they look and the aviation series have that weight to them.
