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

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

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

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

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"

never heard of it Shane but it looks nice.

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...

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


I also grabbed this one for the wife:

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.

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

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.

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...
