Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I've got a 3105 that I've beat the piss out of for years and, other than replacing a broken strap and battery, has never given me any problems.

My Wife bought this for me today. Really appreciated especially since I've gotten my job I've had to put ALL of my paycheck into fixing her Car, the Wedding, etc. Well, we owe less than a couple hundred on the Wedding so she surprised me. I've never had an Easter Basket... Ever, so she made me one with this in it. Definite keeper.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

My MetaWatch's battery started to fail - it doesn't make it through the workday any longer :(

I was already set up as a backer for the Pebble E-Watch on kickstarter, so I'm hanging on hope for that.

So instead - today I'm going back about a year and a half in my watch-wearing career. Broke out my Stuhrling skeleton watch. Love this thing.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I was thinking about collecting but never really got into it. The only nice watch I own is a Christopher Ward London C60 Trident which is one heck of a great watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is really nice! I want something like it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Wow that is one bad ass watch! :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

its my new fave. thank you!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Patek, maybe 5208P or 5140R

Lange Datograph

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Im in the market for a diver. Im looking for reccomendations in $699 and under has to be equal to or greater than 300m and a clean face I would like to keep the case under 50mm if possible but its not a huge deal I have a good size wrist.

Currently looking at

Helson Sharkdiver 42
Prometheus Bahaiji
a couple Deep Blue offerings

It will be in and around saltwater constantly

any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Get the Helson bro :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I have a Suunto Core All Black. I love this watch. I will tell you that it is not a dive watch. It is only good to 100 feet and the depth meter only goes to 39ft. I have a lot of experience with Suunto dive computers and when I realized that they made watches I had to have one. I will upload a picture shortly.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

My new seiko showed up. Turns out The seller shipped the wrong one. Ended up with a SKX779 instead of the 007. Oh well :sh

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

is the one you got the better of the two?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nothing wrong with the black monster... I'd keep it and order another 007 ;)

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

If you don't mind Emo, how much did it cost? If you know that is.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Brian I believe it was $225 after tax. PM sent with some online vendors though

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Just gave my son this watch. It was given to me by my dad when I graduated highs school in 86. My son still has a few years left to go in school but Ive been promising him this for a while

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

very nice :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

They are pretty equal
I'm keeping the monster. It's pretty BA

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very nice watch Justin!!! I love how the glass is almost endless, reminds me of an infinity pool.

Anybody know anything about Red Lines?
They are cheap but seem pretty nice looking.
I just grabbed a "Traction"

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

never heard of it Shane but it looks nice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I am really loving how Rado has transformed their line. They're making some compelling and sharp watches at attractive pricing. Beautiful watch, that can barely be scratch with a good move and cheap price...

Worth giving them a second thought (or first) if looking to buy a rugged, classy, and unique watch...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

They look to offer some decent styles but the pricing is not attractive IMHO.


I also grabbed this one for the wife:

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I used to have this exact watch still one of the favorites I've ever owned. It was stolen the face was sandblasted to try and disguise it. Got it back and sent to Seiko who after receiving a copy of the police report replaced the crystal and ring for free and worked for years. Gave it to my son about 5 years ago along with a tissot rock watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I suppose that price is relative. Considering Swatch Group’s other premier brands, Rado is a real good deal. Mido is pretty good deal too, but their styling is not as striking.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Might be a good deal relative to their other brand but some of us just don't/won't have that kind of $ to throw down on a watch

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Found a nice looking affordable watch, I would prefer a different band but it looks nice IMO:
Keneth Cole $150.00
http://kcp.imageg.net/graphics/produ...27v383x392.jpg
http://kcp.imageg.net/graphics/produ...02v383x392.jpg

I like the band on this one better at $175.00
http://kcp.imageg.net/graphics/produ...89v383x392.jpg

Another one for $175.00

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Theres an ESQ on overstock dot com for $161.49, I love the look of this watch:
http://ak1.ostkcdn.com/images/produc.../L14203083.jpg

This one is similar but much less at $84.99, is the ESQ a better watch and a better deal at $161.49?
http://ak1.ostkcdn.com/images/produc...1df5a8_600.jpg

I would assume the ESQ would be much better, the Stuhrling stuff looks much cheaper quality and I see low prices all the time.
I think the ESQ might be my next watch, after I save up some funds.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I recently got one of these just for fun...
http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-Cole-K...pd_sbs_watch_1
I know it's nothing special but it looks decent enough.
Haven't worn it for long enough to know how well it keeps time. Usually wind it up and wear it for one night...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's kinda the same boat I would be in. Have it, wear it on occasion.
Glad to hear you don't have any complaints about it though.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Change of pace today, put the bracelet on my Shark Diver :tu

Looks nice Mike!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks bro, adds a bit more weight though :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

It is nice... for a $600 chinese watch, haha.
I bet. Whenever I look at a watch forum, there you are :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Lagging in the watch forums, all money now goes to smokes :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nice, thats why I never got into watches even though I want to. It would prevent me from getting the cigars I "NEED".
I think that Shark Diver looks much better with the bracelet just gotta use your right hand more so your left arm doesn't get more muscular from carrying that thing around!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Here is a Seiko (Jap Quartz) I like and it looks like it can be found under $100.
I would prolly change the band if possible, but I really like the watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

You should be able to get a bracelet with endlinks for that watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is what I was hoping, it is a nice looking cheap watch. I think slowly I will aquire better watches. Hopefully each watch will be nicer than the last.
