I really like this watch and I do not own it. It's only a dream.

I currently own a Doxa Searambler.....I love dive watches and I have been through 30+ watches in the last 2 years (I flip). My favorites have been the Rolex Submariner, my 5 Doxas, Sinn U1, Ball Madcow, and the Longines Hydroconquest (great bang for the buck only about $900 new). Watches will drain your wallet quick!

^^^ I'm down with Doxa, very nice diver watches!

BTW, parshooter, where did you get that watch cabinet?

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

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.

I'm in school, so not a collecter, but I do try to buy myself a new Citizen Eco Drive every other year or so. the current one has a pearl face with gold stripes on the bands and around the face

Parshooter how much did that top case cost? I'm looking one for myself...as for a watch this one is my favorite that was my 21st birthday present

I have the same one gifted to me by my friend's father

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".

Parshooter · 09-26-2009, 06:07 AM

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?

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-26-2009, 07:47 PM

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.

Wolfgang · 09-26-2009, 08:04 PM

Interesting watch. Dosent get much wear time. I love my Seiko Titanium band

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.
