    anyone else into nice time pieces? I'm a recent addict.

    Personally I like the more vintage watches. I'll post pics later but I've got a 78 seiko turtle diver and a 40s benrus 7001 series on a grey Zulu. Nothing incredibly cool yet.

    Show us what you wear :worthless:

    I really like seiko turtles for the price but I know there's a million other options in that same price range. If you can afford it omegas are sick

    Seiko Monster that I used to have. Ended up killing it after one too many impacts against hard surfaces. Great watch though and amazing lume!!!

    Now I'm rocking a Citizen Ecodrive Titanium Diver ("The Orca").

    Thanks! I love the visible workings and he strap is really nice, with the clasp, not the normal buckle.

    my dad is a collector and got me into it. He's got some awesome watches but most notably an omega sea master planet ocean, a sea deweller and a date just. He wears the sea dweller on a diver band right now :drool:

    The Planet Ocean is what I would get if I were looking at Omega. Beautiful piece of engineering there!!

    The orange bezel is a little too flashy for me but the movement is gorgeous. My step mom complains if he wears it to bed because the lume is so bright

    Anyone looked into armida watches? I think their bronze diver will be my next watch
