This is the one that I currently wear every day: Breitling Seawolf Avenger Titanium:

Very nice Dan!

Anyone ever bought any watches off of WOWTV? Just curious I watched it the other day for my 1st time and it was like QVC for watches, I need to watch it more

This is my ideal watch. The 46mm is too big for me, but aesthetically, I think it is PERFECT.

I like the look. I've been passively looking for a black out watch for the weekends.

Nice, my everyday wearer is a Breitling Superocean in black. I still really like it, IIRC, I posted a pic or two up in this thread earlier.

I'm on a hunt for one of these (http://imgur.com/a/IlauS) in great condition. I've been told it should go for a price around $150, but it's looking like that might be an outdated range. Anyone have one they'd like to get rid of or know of any sources to get it at an affordable price?

Found some on Google and they aren't close to $150 at all.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Just as clarification, I'm not looking for the gold version, which is worth $2,000 or more. Just the stainless steel which seems to have jumped in price to $300 plus. :(

Thanks for looking though!

Unrelated to anything...

Anyone know what model Breitling were the ones pictured in the movie "The Skulls", you know, the ones given at the ceremony to cover up the branding they do on the wrist... the ones with the HUGE DEEP face and all metal band...?

when I make my first million I had decided that will be my gift to myself... :lr

<Continue watch banter... >

Very Nice Watch BTW...

I was in the market for a new large quartz diver (for cheap) I found this Momentum M1 Deep 6 200m diver that fit the bill, I have had the Momentum/St. Moritz brand in the past and found them to be nice watches for the $$$. This one cost me $129 and free shipping.

48mmx56mmx13mm

This is my Bernhardt Officer's Watch, made as a limited edition for the Badger & Blade forums. It has a Swiss Unitas movement, and Swiss components, but assembled in the USA. Once I've got some more play money I'd like to get one of Bernhardt's Binnacle Anchor watches.

Here is a new band, I tried to distress it but when I waxed the leather it covered up most of the patina. You can see the forced wear on the last picture the best:
