Hope you got a good deal. National retailers can be much more expensive than on-line stores. I'm not talking about grey/black market shops, but authorized dealers sell a lot on-line now also.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Heard Gurkha is coming out with Micro Batch watch collection...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I like that. :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I love that watch..:tu

K.I.S.S.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Well I am sure I overpaid a little bit but I wanted to be able to try watches on and see which one really caught my eye. Plus, spending all that money I wanted to talk to an actual person as well as getting a warranty plan.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

My exact thoughts. Gotta love Murphy...his custom works are amazing.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

No display back, but RGM being who they are, it was an option. Also, it could have been purchased with a standard bezel.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I suppose you should be able to put a DB on any time you want. Have you seen the movement in person? Most never get to see their movement at all.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I don't know what I was thinking. The watch is 21j not 17j. It's an SO 7001RM Swiss movement, finished with Geneva stripes and blued screws. The movement is based on a Peseux 7001. I have not seen it in person but I have seen a photo of it. Very nice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Much too expensive for me to collect.... I have a Citizen Calibre 8700, and I'm looking to get a lefty for daily use. I'm thinking of getting an Invicta F0053, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sorry for the crappy pic, had to use my cell phone. Its a Tag Heuer Carrera day/date with croc band.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That must be the newest model of Carrera. I have never seen one look like that. Very nice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Quick update. As I let my Chrono run then stop and reset it the 1/20th and second hands start to inch their way backwards. I dont know if this is normal or not.

Shall I return it or live with it?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Does it line up perfect once it is done moving?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nope when I reset it the two hands progressivly go to the negative of zero. I can adjut it back to zero and it'll stay there for a while.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is an issue and will have to be worked on by an horologist. Shouldn't be expensive unless the watch is used and needs a service.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Anybody else out there fans of RGM watches? American made!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I'm a fan but I know ill never own one.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I've posted this one before, but I took this with my camera and the picture turned out well.

It's a Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Limited Edition (greater China 105/199) from 2005. I bought it from Tourneau at the beginning of this year

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Beautiful!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Ditto. :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

My wife bought me this as a graduation present in May. I also have a stainless steel Rolex Tudor Ive had for about eight years.

Classic looking GMT

Picked this up a couple weeks ago. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean XL

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Came very close to buying this one a couple of times. Nice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

very nice, I love the black/orange combo

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Same here.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I need another collection like a hole in the head right now, so I've mostly managed to keep this hobby under control... I'm drawn to dive watches at the moment because they meet my needs working outside & also dress up well when I'm back in the office.

'06 contract Marathon SAR (no cyclops)...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Love the Marathon's Peter. Nice pickup :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I dig it! what is the case diameter?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks guys... I've been looking at these for a while & found a good deal. Definitely a lot of watch for the money. Looks pretty good on a zulu strap as well...

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/...65ba0ea154.jpg

The case is approx. 46mm & the bezel is just over 41mm. Marathon also makes a larger JSAR, but it has a quartz movement.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

bump, i want to see more Marathons!!! very cool!


also, i cannot stop thinking about this watch... (Welder K29)

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Ordered one of these from the local Rolex dealer. Should have it by Xmas. Probably not for everyday.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I bought this Seiko Superior a couple months back for 150.00. Since the snowstorm won't allow me to do much else, I photographed it. A real nice watch as are all Seikos.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very nice. I like the white on white style. Where did you pick it up if I may ask.

My most recent purchase. Citizen BN0000-04H with a Maratc OD watch band.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

:tpd: Pimpin pepsi style!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

no Breitling fans out there? I've got an Ti Emergency and a Stainless Airwolf. Longines for those dressy occasions.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Plain simple and relativity cheap does it for me. Walking into best buy sporting A Rolex or Breitling just isnt practical. :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I went to an Omega boutique the other day in AZ. The salesperson is telling me they are made in Geneva after I mentioned our company is down the street from Omega in Biel. "If they are made in Geneva, then what is that huge grey with red trim manufactory with the bus stop named Omega?” I said. He just looked at me with blank stare like I was nuts.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

How amusing. Someones trying to make commission for the holidays.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Some serious ballers in this thread.

Here's the Seiko Diver's watch which never leaves my wrist:

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Anyone have a reliable watch winder? If so, where did you get it? I need to get one for my Tag but I am not sure about the quality of the ones on amazon or ebay but dont want to shell out 300 bucks for one in a store.
