Watcha wearing?

yeah, Good MOD!

 

Bwaaaahahaha

 

4 watches, 2 hours of soaking in a light solution of dish soap. Will leave them overnight & hit with an old toothbrush in the morning. This always makes me wonder why I don't remember to clean them more often

 

Tissot t-touch Take 2
I found the tissot t-touch in a sky mall magazine on a flight to Russia in 2003. As a fan of ABC (altitude barometer compass) watches this touch screen watch caught my eye. The idea of touch screen was very new at the time and so I pointed it out to my mom. Fast forward a year later and she had found a legitimate used model on EBay. This was her gift to me along with the title to my GMC pickup for my 21st. I had many issues with the t-touch over the years with the buttons losing action and the touch screen losing its sensitivity. I sent it for repair twice under warranty then it sat for 5 years until my 35th bday. About a year ago she offered to get me another nice watch. I instead took the original to a fine watch shop in Denver. Turns out tissot had been unable to continue producing parts for the original t-touch. They had an upgrade program and they offered to upgrade to the new model for the price of 100 bucks. It is a larger case than the original but has all the same functions. And they were able to get a v2 in the silver face like my v1. This watch while not the original I received seems to have been a better timepiece than the original v1 ever was. I cant recommend a tissot to anyone based on my experience with the v1 but I could be swayed the other way soon if this model is better. The upgrade program was a solid option unless you are sentimental about it.

 

I have several other regular non "smart" Fossil watches with no issues, really like the brand, but maybe I'll continue my research, ty

 

Anyone have any experience with ares watches? I’ve been eyeing them and I have the opportunity to get 20% off

 

New company so not much of a track record. Site says Made in America. I don't have a problem buying watches manufactured in Asia with Asian or Swiss movements, but throwing some foreign made parts together and calling the finished product American made is bullshit.

For the money, I think there are better choices. Nice looking though.

 

I really like the design but I was thinking the same thing

 

What type of watch are you looking for? Diver, automatic, chrono???

 

I tend to lean more toward diver it seems.

 

Don't know your budget, but I'd look at Hamilton or Seiko as far as brands go for a proven quality watch at a reasonable price. Not a diver watch guy myself so have no idea if either of those brands have the style you're looking for. I just tend to go with more established brands.

It's very easy to start a watch company now a days. Look at MVMT. Cheap Chinese watches with a ton of marketing.

 

I really appreciate it man. Thank you

 

Go with a Seiko skx007 or 009 I have both and love them

 

My modded Seiko SKX009.

 

Timex Waterbury, just snagged it the other day.

 

i hate those watches and despise their commercials even more. i want to slap them dudes

 

Picked this beauty up this week. Seiko Presage SPB0391 J1. Discontinued (I think) model in the Presage line. Sadly I don’t love how it looks on my wrist so it’s up for sale. PM me for more details/photos and price. Still have all the tags, boxes, and manual. Like brand new.

 

time to buy a sonic cleaner. 3 minutes and done.

 

You're not wrong! And I need to get a watch case that winds my 2 automatics, and has a USB outlet for the smart watch to charge. Ugh. Who's seen my money tree?!
