Wristwatch collectors out there? - Page 31

physiognomy · 09-01-2010, 09:38 PM

I need another collection like a hole in the head right now, so I've mostly managed to keep this hobby under control... I'm drawn to dive watches at the moment because they meet my needs working outside & also dress up well when I'm back in the office.

'06 contract Marathon SAR (no cyclops)...

I dig it! what is the case diameter?

Thanks guys... I've been looking at these for a while & found a good deal. Definitely a lot of watch for the money. Looks pretty good on a zulu strap as well...

The case is approx. 46mm & the bezel is just over 41mm. Marathon also makes a larger JSAR, but it has a quartz movement.

Ordered one of these from the local Rolex dealer. Should have it by Xmas. Probably not for everyday.

I bought this Seiko Superior a couple months back for 150.00. Since the snowstorm won't allow me to do much else, I photographed it. A real nice watch as are all Seikos.

I bought it at Overstock.com, but I just looked and they're sold out.

Just bought the wife a Breitling Diamond Starliner for her birthday+Christmas. Identical to the one pictured.

no Breitling fans out there? I've got an Ti Emergency and a Stainless Airwolf. Longines for those dressy occasions.

I went to an Omega boutique the other day in AZ. The salesperson is telling me they are made in Geneva after I mentioned our company is down the street from Omega in Biel. "If they are made in Geneva, then what is that huge grey with red trim manufactory with the bus stop named Omega?” I said. He just looked at me with blank stare like I was nuts.

How amusing. Someones trying to make commission for the holidays.

Some serious ballers in this thread.

Here's the Seiko Diver's watch which never leaves my wrist:

Anyone have a reliable watch winder? If so, where did you get it? I need to get one for my Tag but I am not sure about the quality of the ones on amazon or ebay but dont want to shell out 300 bucks for one in a store.

If you really need one, then don't skimp on the cost for a nice one. The cheaper ones on the bay will work, but are usually loud, and do fail from time to time.

May I ask why you "need" one?
