Wristwatch collectors out there?

Decisions, decisions!

I would make the trade as well. That is unless you just like having more watches that look alike.

Traded, shipping on Monday, also bought a Strapcode super engineer II bracelet to go with it along with the stock oyster.



Will look like this on bracelet.

[Remo]

Stock oyster which is also nice. And I have some silicone straps also.

[RWhisenand]

It's looks to be a very versatile watch, would look good in any of configurations.

My daily wear is an all black Orient...great watch!

[Remo]

Orient 300 came today, this is a nice chunk, way to big for the stock bracelet, glad I ordered another one that will be here fri. Winding is smooth as butter, bezel is the same, seems like a good trade

[Remo]

Sick lume!

[RWhisenand]

Well our annual bonus was pretty good this year, so I picked up a watch I had my eye on for awhile, not my picture, I'll post up a pick when it arrives.

Nice Rob!

[RWhisenand]

Thanks Mike!

[Remo]

Gonna start chasing this Grail pretty soon

[RWhisenand]

Nice, a few years back, I went from watch collecting to every few years getting a really nice piece.

The Omega will carry me over until I can get a Luminor, or a Navitimer.

I really like those Seiko's, Mike, the bracelet and the recessed hex screws make the watch look like a tank! And if I'm not mistaken those are titanium too which is cool, very cool.

[Remo]

Ya, that one is Titanium, great look and size. My orient will tide me over for awhile

I like Titanium watches, but they can scratch a little easier. Omega has 3-4 different Titanium color blends. Saw an awesome Titanium Planet Ocean on bracelet at one of the Omega boutiques. They are quite rare; not as many are buying Titanium watches like they did in the 90's.

Does Rolex make a Titanium watch? Not that they need it as most are already quite light by design.

[RWhisenand]

I've seen a few of the titanium Omegas in pictures only, I have a Seiko titanium Quartz watch my wife bought for me some years ago, it's color is really an eye catcher, I use it when I play golf (isn't much anymore) because I hardly feel it there!

That spring drive movement is supposed to be extremely accurate, one of the best automatic movements out there, don't have one yet but I certainly gave a hard look at some of Seiko's Ananta line before pulling the trigger on the Omega.

Good luck on the search for that Grail Mike!

I keep checking on delivery, still a few days out...

A lot of stores in Singapore are selling the Grand Seiko and they are nice looking. Not that expensive when compared to similarly sought after Swiss watches. The styles are pretty conservative so you'd get a lot of life from the watch and be played out a decade later.

New Strapcode Super Oyster bracelet came yesterday, a bit more robust than the stock bracelet, screwed links, 22mm, 20mm at the ratcheting clasp, sweet bracelet!
