nicks = character (or so I was told) :D

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Until you want to sell it. I'd love to trade my Flieger for an Overseas Chrono :dr. If I see a LNIB Overseas it may mitigate the wear on my watch a bit.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

51 on the top, 50 on the bottom. I love large watches!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Vacheron overseas chrono?

Off topic, you think green bay can repeat???

Love the crown!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yup. I like the VC Royal Eagle Chrono too. Either one would be styling :banger

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I like your taste in watches:dr

Dude... That Casio is a classic!!!!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I bought one of these just before Christmas when Ashford had them marked at 229.00. I couldn't pass it up. Now, at 1000.00 retail, no way would I buy, but it's really nice and well built and for the price I paid, it was a great deal.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Good pick up!!! I've always liked the Movado's. Probably why I have had a few over the years

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Wow, it's actually modern and attactive watch; not something I usually think of with Movado. When I think of Movado, I picture the cliche 80's style watch which this is not.

Quite stylish and a good buy for an established CH brand at $229! Well done.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

It's like cigars, wear what you like, like what you wear. That's why they make more than one style watch/cigar!

Only if the defense shores up a bit, I honestly think we can outscore any team in the league, only thing is our defense is quite frankly...offensive. But Jennings is back, and says he's as healthy and fresh as ever, so...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Well I won't lie... I'm hoping GB loses it this year!!!

Hey it don't matter to me who roots for who, support your team!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I have pretty much decided on this watch. Now, I just need to find one for a reasonable price. Someone mentioned the asian market but holy crap there are a lot of them. I have my eye out at some local places and on timezone for a preowned piece. New is just over $4k. I'd like to get it for $2500. Long shot, I know, but that is where I am.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very nice Chip :tu I don't think I could trust the asian market but I am not sure?? Good luck brother :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Santa (me) brought this and put it under the tree.

I need to tell Santa you weren't that good!!!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

A Bolt, VERY nice, I'd love one of those, in the Zeus line if I win the lotto, preferably brown! Sweet watch man, very sweet.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Just got this yesterday. Speedmaster Professional 3570.50 ("moonwatch"). I have a panda dial (white with black subdials) as well as silver hands on order. My plan is to have a local watchmaker switch them out for me--Omega made 300 of this style for the Japanese market 10+ years ago but I've not seen one for sale so I'm just building my own. Will post more pics if/when that happens. For now, though, I am really enjoying this watch as-is.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I actually sold an original Moon Watch from '68. Wish I would have held onto it, but I needed the funds for another project

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is beautiful and looks awesome with your shirt and jacket!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very classy watch!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Those are cool. Such history with the watch. I'm already thinking that after I do the modification on this one, I may have to have one of those pre-moon versions.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks :)

It actually wears smaller than it looks in that cell phone pic and goes under a shirt sleeve with no problem, which after wearing a bigger watch, I appreciate (btw, I'm pretty impressed with the new iPhone camera--that pic, hastily snapped in the car right after I unboxed it, turned out much better than I thought it would).

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

No doubt, it's a very nice quality pic, especially for a phone!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I thought that was a very expensive camera from that picture!!! Really nice camera on that iPhone

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That Omega Speedy is my 2nd choice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

What's the movement on the Omega? Is that an acrylic lense?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Omega c.861. Same one they've used for 30+ years after they switched from the c.321--though I don't think there's much difference between the two. And yeah, acrylic.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Oh, that's a new or currently made model? Pretty cool!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yeah. They haven't changed much, but this is new.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I lied to myself and convinced me that I was good. Got a heck of a discount on it. I shop around big time before buying and I got $189 off the normal retail market price not MSRP.

My favorite new watch. Only one I am currently wearing now. I just love the look of it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Can someone give me their opinion on Swiss Legend? Saw one on sale, same price as an Invicta on sale. Debating on which one I want when I lose my initial 20 lbs as a reward.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I have both, the Swiss Legend has a more supple polyurethane strap...if the one you're looking for has a poly strap. Between the two, I bought on Swiss Legend and in most cases will not go back to them. That being said, for me, I like the heft and weight of Invicta, the Swill Legend are no where near as solid or heavy. So, it will depend on what YOU'RE looking for in your watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

When you lose a watch where do you usually find it? :gary

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

The last place I saw it.

But this is 20 pounds I am losing. Not planning on losing this watch.

Wade, I am looking for something....substantial. Good size and heft to it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Jason, if you have a Sams club or Costco near you, you can look at one there. Invicta has twice the heft that Swiss Legend has. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the SL designs, but they just dont compare to the Invicta for feel. I think JC Penny carries Invicta too.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Last place I saw it was on my wrist.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I will definitely take a look at Sam's and at JCP, Wade. Thanks.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Wade, if you're still on that Invicta kick, Shop NBC is having their Invicta hour right now.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sweet...see ya later!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Did you find anything? I REALLY like that Leviathan.

I couldn't watch it all...one of my boys felt sick, had to take care of him.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Got clearance from my wife...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Cant say I am a collector but I have a few watches. A Seiko pre-kinetic years watch, Guess water sport pro stainless, and an Invicta chronograph. These range from 16 yrs old down to 2 and all keep great time.
