Wristwatch collectors out there?

Sancho · 10-24-2008, 08:26 AM

Anyone? I've got into it some just looking for something to wear around work and for more formal occasions. Anyone got anything fun?

gettysburgfreak · 10-24-2008, 08:55 AM

Right now I dont collect as I don't have the money but I love a nice watch. Ive got a Seiko Chronograph and a Kenneth Cole automatic movt with the moon phase, date, and hour dials, I love it.

FriskyDingo · 10-24-2008, 10:02 AM

I have a few watches from Kenneth Cole, Georgio Armani and Skagen. But I don't collect them I just seem to have aquired them somehow.

I do have a few Swatches from the eighties that are different to say the least!

Not a collector, but love em just the same.

Sancho · 10-24-2008, 10:34 AM

Maybe a rephrase, I certainly dont consider myself a collector but I certainly do enjoy them. I love the self winding automatics, such a cool sound when they are running

Omega. Seamaster, De Ville, and Constellation.

Does anyone know anything about wrist watches? I got an Omega from my grandfather and I heard if it has an airplane on the watch face its worth more than a normal one? Basically I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

Skagen definitely. If you cna find a Premium Outlet mall, you can find good deals.

Also go to Marshalls or TJ Max..they carry a lot of Kenneth Cole watches too.

Skagen definitely. I like how thin they are and really like the mesh bands.

I have five of them. Not all good deals unfortunately.

I've got a really nice CYMA that I received from the company I worked for at my 20 years of service party.

We Do Collect Cigars, Right?

Of Course we collect Watches!

I usually treat myself to a new watch every time we go on a cruise. I wear a TAG Tiger Woods Edition for dress and wear one of three for everyday, ( Casio G-Shock Solar Powered "My Most Reliable Watch!", Citizen Eco Drive, and my new fav., just purchased, Stainless "Guess WaterPro".

Bobby, I got the cabinet at Bombay Trading Co. They are in a mall near you.

Ucubed, the top case is a winder box. Not a good one, but it works most of the time. Got it at an on-line discount store. I ordered/paid for a smaller one, but they messed up so they sent me this one instead, I think it was about $130. A good winder is going to cost $$$. I would rather just shake my autos every morning and buy a couple nice boxes of cigars

gettysburgfreak · 10-25-2008, 10:09 AM

Here's a picture I got online of the Seiko watch I have

White97Jimmy · 10-25-2008, 10:47 AM

For dressier occassions, I have a Burberry Chrono. For daily use, I stick to my Timex!

s15driftking · 08-09-2009, 08:28 AM

I've got several lower end watches (michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, etc)

My goal is to buy a Breitling Super Avenger or Navitimer in the next year. Anyone get a slick deal on breitlings?

mission accomplished! Breitling Super Avenger!

gettysburgfreak · 09-22-2009, 07:07 AM

The two watches I really want are a Rolex or something by the IWC.

PeteSB75 · 09-22-2009, 07:35 AM

I have a Breitling Colt GMT that I bought about 2 1/2 years ago, just after my divorce. Think I might have to replace it soon - getting married next summer.

Just wondering, what year is this super avenger?

floydpink · 08-09-2009, 08:45 AM

I bought this Rolex Date on the old CS and haven't had it off my wrist since.

captain53 · 08-09-2009, 08:49 AM

No big collection but I do love and appreciate fine watches. I do have 3 Hoyers (Pre-Tag) that I cherish but one of them no longer works and can't get parts. BOOO TAG, would not invest a large sum in one if they are not going to provide long-term parts availability.
