Make the shape out of wood and bend the metal around it.

I though of that originally, but really want to use the pillows.

any bulk collectors interested in buying an entire "Lot" of watches from me? i could get into details, but its probably better done through PM. But they are mostly everyday brands (i.e. invicta, textile brands such as Kenneth Cole, Ecko, etc). I bought the lot about 2 years ago from a fashion warehouse that has tons of accesories for photoshoots, etc.. It definately will bolster anybodies collection... just looking to unload most of them for cheap, willing to trade for cigars too.. lol

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, just figured since all the wristwatch people were viewing, it'd be easier?

this could be very cool if done correctly....


Im no engineer. but i believe this design will work for several reasons. The leather will keep from scratching the watch, the metal will keep the "pillow" boyant and allow it to hold the watch tightly. and the wood (if cut to correct width) will fit snug and taught in the slot.


if those other guys sell OEM pillows for 10, imagine how much you could sell these for?

Here are my two watches I picked up this year. Love them both. They are HUGE!

Give me some current rec's, looking for a new 'sport' watch. Has to be BIG, and somewhere under $500.

I have a couple Bulova's that I like but they eat batteries at a ridiculous pace. Might go window shopping tonight for a while.

Get an automatic, no more battery changes.

Of course, of the 30 watches I tried on tonight my favorite one was a Bulova. I'll see if I can find a pic.

The face seems kind of an off-white (parchment like) but in the sun it's pearlescent, I really like it, it has a black gator band, flawless condition, it's a limited edition 105/199 (didn't find out until after I had decided on it) to boot.

shameless bump to say that this watch is for sale if anyone is interested

I finally found out what's wrong with me as a person. I don't give a 5hit what time it is!
That only just occurred to me tonight after flipping through 8 pages of this and finding out
there were 42 pages of it. I have worn a watch for the equivalent of about one of my
48 years in total. Just don't like the feel of it on my arm. I have developed an uncanny
ability to know what time it is within about five minutes at any time during the day. It must
be like blind guys being able to hear really well. Those are some nice watches, fellers

I really want to get a Ziiro watch. Like really badly.

Rado have really turned their image around the last decade or so. Always innovative and tough, but odd styling. Now they have a perfect balance of the two. Been thinking of getting a Rado as well. They are well priced in general and made right near our shop. More popular in Switzerland than USA it seems. Same with Mido.

I also looked at a PVD Hamilton Khaki Subzero, it was amazing. REALLY AMAZING.

I really like these watches.


I love watches but can't afford to collect them.

I love watches. Rolex Submariner does not come off my wrist.

I'm a huge watch enthusiast!

I have 7 LUM-TECs, an Omega Great White, Rolex Sub, TAG F1 Grande Date, Seikos, 2 Stowas and my latest addition is a Panerai 111

Another new watch for me. I have a couple of pricey watches that I'm almost always afraid to wear. I hate desk dings. Anyway, I picked this Seiko up for 90.00 with the intention of it being my knock around watch. Turns out, it's nicer than that and I wear it all the time. Seiko makes nice watches for not a lot of money.

I'm really not a watch guy, but still feel so inadequate with my stainless Timex.

I had a Swiss Army Renegade, but the face came loose and the fluorescent paint came off the hands. Would cost as much to fix as to replace.

If I had my druthers, I would get either a Luminox or a Tag. Just like the looks of them.
