Thanks, Took me like 4-5 months to source the clasp. Ended up finding it at a local meet.

Nixon has been steping it up lately and coming out with some nice looking new designs.

Thoes Kognition watches are cool too. Just cool that they went through with it and made their own watch. Kudos Mike =)

Keep em' coming.

[drift_limo]

had:

gold rolex ( forgot what edition it is) dad broke the bands.never got around to fixing it.

custom marc ecko with real diamonds on the bezel. got stolen when they broke into my truck. never go out get drunk and leave your watch in the car.

on the market for something else

I think a watch is a watch BUT if your lookingfor an investmen spring for the good stuff that your budget can afford. other then that i would wear a calculator watch

[cole shoes]

have you guys ever heard of rockwell watches they make some pretty nice ones.

[coww-cho!!!!!]

For some of you nerdy people Tokyoflash watches might be of interest not my cup of tea but it's something that caters to a different crowd. Yes it actually does tell time, but mostly in binary form.

so take this watch below. it reads 9:30

[kandyflip445]

I have this one. Parents gave it to me a while ago. I love the band and the look of the face. The Eco Drive works flawlessly also.



I'm wanting a more dressy watch though. Somthing like a metal band Citizen or a Omega or something. Glad this thread came up again.

I hate when a dude says "thats stupid i use my cell phone to tell time"
Its not just about telling time.

I like the G sensor Indiglo. When you bring the watch up to look at the time it turns on the backlight. Still haven't figured out what the e Data Bank is.

Did you go to any Maid cafe's in Akihabara? haha

Remember, mechanical watches keep far worse time than your everyday $15 quartz from Wal-Mart. So we're paying more for something that tells time, but is fundamentally worse at it's sole task than something that costs 1/10th as much. It's just one of those things that some people enjoy and others will never understand.

I don't think of a watch as purely a status symbol. I wear a suit every day so other than cufflinks my watch is the only piece of jewelry I have. I want that one piece of jewelry to say quality, style, and reliability both to myself when I put it on in the morning, and to my clients. Sure, part of it is status, especially with a blingy Breitling (which are absolutely gross, btw) or a 47mm Panerai, but my Omega is very understated and says "he appreciates a quality watch but isn't stupid enough to spend $10,000 on one."


This is what my watch looks like:
It's an Omega Seamaster Professional Bond.

This guy fucking gets it. +One million for him.

Oh and i dont care if you're left or right handed, a man wears his watch on his LEFT wrist.

[Paul2x]

Agreed ^^ for the most part outside of fact 47mm Pani's are gangster, and the left hand comment.

My big thing is the bandwagoners, guys that have the $$ but no appreciation for the watches, they just get whats "in" or what is known to be "in"

Rolex for instance. An amazing watch but I would never spend the $$ for one b/c their are Sooooo many other options out their for the same price or less that are way cooler.

Not to mention its the most knocked off watch out their.

[Silvette]

Just saw this thread, I think as I get older and over the whole car thing. Watches will be my thing. I have a mini collection currently. Here is the one I wore today. Movado Fiero made out of tungsten, so it's virtually scratch proof. I paid a little under 3k for it in 2006. It's an awesome watch and I always get compliments for it. It was almost the same price as my s14. When I bought the chassis stock, but it was worth it.

Quick pick, as you can see i was cruising this thread lol.

[Paul2x]

^^Nice! Mavado's are classic^^

and Tungsten is cool =)

My pic today.

That's really the only reason to wear any watch these days.

Not a problem to me, I like the heaviest watch I can find.

EXACTLY!!!
The hand for a watch to be worn on, by design, has nothing to do with an individual's strong hand, but with the ease of setting the watch without having to remove it, which is why the crown is on the right hand side of every watch I have ever owned or touched.
It kills me to see someone in a $4-figure+ watch with it on the wrong hand.

[slamburger]

I feel the same, heavy is not a problem for me either.

Now Philip, there are a few watches i've seen with the adjuster on the "wrong" side so to say? is that cuz some people wear their watch on the wrong arm?

such as this one:

[Phlip]

I would be willing to bet that it was made for people who just refuse to be able to wear their left hand, if the crown and such are on the other side.
None of the watches I own are like that, though.

Off to work in one of those big chunky motherfuckers I posted way up there, I love em.

Yes. Panerai has a series of pieces called "Destro" which are for left-handed people who wear their watch on their right hand. The winders, chronograph pushers, etc. are on the "other" side of the watch.

I have a Bulova Marine Star that lasted me 10+ years but recently just stopped working. This just reminded me to contact Bulova for service. Thanks.

[slamburger]

Anyone ever heard of this watch? maybe one day i will be able to afford this lolz
