Wristwatch collectors out there?

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.

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.

Im happy with my Breitling Crosswind.

MTB996 · 10-24-2008, 02:06 PM

Breitling B2 here. Love the watch- wear it everyday.

I've got a Breitling Navitimer and my grandfathers Patek Phillipe. The Patek is my best watch!

But for some reason I've been wearing a Frank Muller Conquistador Tourbillon Knock-off! Because I tend to bang them around at work.

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

I need a watch winder but don't want to spend 200 bucks for one. Those of you that have one, where did you get yours?

They may not be in business in your area (or any where for that matter) - the store close to me closed down last year - bankruptcy I believe.
