What timepiece do u wear?

[scubywrxr]

Do any of u have a watch fetish? I wear a tag heuer Se/l link everyday and have a Breitling for special occasions. I wanted a Rolex, but was not impressed with their accuracy. My next aquisition will be an Omega broad arrow.. I like its simplicity and style..

[Johns]

Locman, Technomarine, Rolex, Jacob&co. I want to get Piguet Royal Oak($300k :lol: )

[BADMIHAI]

I also have a watch fetish. I have a Tag Heuer, a Casio and a Seiko. I will post pics a little later. :)

[RC45]

Dont bother with a watch... waste of 'time'... ;)

[jon_s]

I had a Rolex Submariner, then it got stolen, when my house got done over last year. Never quite recovered from that.......now have an Accurist lol. Think I might start looking for a nice watch after x-mas. The Submariner was a bit bulky IMO, I have quite slender wrists. I like really simple classy designs.

hehe, even found a pic:

(this is not a pic of mine, in fact it was quite painful looking through them all)

[BADMIHAI]

Here they are. I'll take better pics this afternoon..i hope...
My digital camera sucks ass at close range, hence the poor quality.

Edit by TT - pic removed, the galleries are for cars, not for watches, sorry ;)

[jon_s]

The pics don't work for me, but the links do.....they are even dedicated to JW!! hehe..


p.s Scuby! DAMN YOU! lol, having started looking at watches, I cannot stop. Grrrrrr.........must not spend money......saving for new car! :x :lol:

[TT]

Sorry BADMIHAI, I had to remove the picture since it was completely offtopic into the galleries...

[jon_s]

I saw them :wink:

Humm, I like the look of this a lot:

Well - I have to say it - I will drop $50,000 on a car in a heart beat (and did) - but can not get myself past spending $20 max on a watch.. (actually $40 on the last one - one of those Microsoft Data watches - scanned data off the PC monitor - it died and I never replaced it - that was 5 years ago... LOL).. I am not into the whole "feminie" jewelry thing... ;)

I have a Tissot TTouch (touch screen).
I stole it from my dad :mrgreen:

if I could I'd get myself an Omega Seamaster (007 watch). it's a very beautiful and simple watch. similar to that Rolex Submariner that was posted. and being a diver's watch I could use it :wink:

btw I noticed JC has one of those.

I dislike leather straps! I only buy watches with metal straps.

& i am totally opposite.

[scubywrxr]

hehe.. so i am not the only one who is into "jewellery" :mrgreen: ..
Seriously, since watches are the only masculine form of adornment (cept in gold)IMHO, I reckon why not go as far as ur budget allows..hey?

I have always had my eyes on the Patek divers watch.. so simple and elegant.. pity that I dont have $10000 lying around.. when I am Jabba weight in dosh I will get one :mrgreen: or a little something like this :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2670404993&category=31387

[jon_s]

Holy shit that is an expensive watch! $117,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:


Oh, I am not a fan of gold watches, no matter how expensive:
http://www.worldofwatches.com/img/prod/p4921B.jpg

$7,000 for that!

[scubywrxr]

I dont like gold too much either.. cant beat a classic in stainless steel ala Rolex daytona.. thats nice

[deth]

thats nothing!! a patient gave my dad one like that but w/ diamonds and rubys in the bezzel and diamonds down the middle links of the strap....he traded it for a submariner :D

[scubywrxr]

^wise style move on ur daddy`s choice there.. I am still waiting to meet patients like that :D :D

A friend of mine working in UAE delivered the first son of a sheikh and as a gift was given a $100 000 rolex , an S-Class mercedes plus the key to one of his mansions to use at his will forever(this included staff :wink: )

my time will come.... in a nice little box labelled Patek Philippe :mrgreen:

[BADMIHAI]

That watch is unbelievable expensive! WTF? Why is it so expensive????

[scubywrxr]

Mihai, it took some swiss artisan 4-6 months to make that watch from select components, built it to the highest standards.. like the carrera GT of watches.. there is only a limited number made and that adds to the exclusivity... There are even more exotic swiss timepieces, if u search hard enough.. :wink:

[jon_s]

I do like my watches, but I do have a limit on how much I would spend :!:

[maalox]

Mostly a Guess Steel watch I got a while ago. I tend not to wear anything too expensive since I often take watches off and so misplace them. I wouldn't mind a MOMO Race Master (in Titanium special edition): http://store2.yimg.com/I/ltbmotorsport_1765_26417847

Bah ... i dont like watches , my sonyericsson t610 phone does gimme the hour ... and in colours :wink:

[possessed_beaver]

i just have a cheap watch, lol but it does the job, and tells the time...
but i would kill for a Breitling watch!!!
i dream to own one of them, they are SOOOOO nice and awsome, and worne by pilots!!!!

perfection!!!!

ya, except that radio becon'll give u cancer ;)

[novass]

i own 3, nothing special though. a gunmetal Kenneth Cole, a silver Perry Ellis one, and one other i cant seem to find now, dont remember what kind it was but it had a red face. i like watches, but i never wear them. i dont like having something on my wrist and i always fuck them up smacking them against stuff.

watches arent really my thing, shoes on the other hand, dont get me started :D

[cho_888]

my father has a 50 year old rolex it has all the papers and stuff and is a real family thing. it is so heavy and looks just like the new ones.

[scubywrxr]

Beautiful Rolex Jabba.. I wanted a similar one except I was put off by the poor accuracy since its a mechanical chronometer. Even better is that u wear it all the time rather than some guys ^ who store their watches rather than wear and enjoy them :mrgreen:

[Jabba]

Yes I can confirm that the accuracy is CRAP...it looses quite a bit of time each month....but I love the quality....and it seems almost indestructible....

[DeMoN]

i also like watches but I am not a fetish of em... i have a Calvin Klein, Tag Heur, swatch (aluminum very very light), DKNY and hugo boss

[jon_s]

The Jabbas Rolex Oyster Submariner...I have hardly ever removed it since getting it 11 years ago.

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/shoot/100.jpg



Ahhh, that looks a bit like my old one, except yours cost more lol. A bit of advice............don't ever take it off. I took mine off for 1 night, as I was going somewhere a bit dogey. Typically, my house was broken into, and I have never seen it since. :cry: Mine was a present, which the loss even worse.

[st-anger]

...yes i LOVE watches too

my current one`s:

Porsche Design Automatic Chrono
Breitling Chronometre Aerospace Lim.Ed. ( only 100 worldwide )
two Rado`s out of the DiaStar-series
Rolex for my wife
maybe I´ll buy myself a Breitling Navitimer Chrono Matic from x-mas...

[jon_s]

Should hav guessed that you have a Porsche Watch lol

[Jabba]

Ahhh, that looks a bit like my old one, except yours cost more lol. A bit of advice............don't ever take it off. I took mine off for 1 night, as I was going somewhere a bit dogey. Typically, my house was broken into, and I have never seen it since. :cry: Mine was a present, which the loss even worse.

shit...thats a very sad story indeed....and very bad luck....sorry to hear that dude....

I was told by the Rolex agent that this watch was designed to live with you and will probably out last you...I must say I have smashed and knocked it into most things by accident (as you know they are chunky mothers) and nothing seems to scratch or damage it...I guess thats what your also paying for...durability.

[deth]

my dad had an older rolex GMT...maybe about 30 years old now... he was playing tennis fell and chipped the face... he later found out that his watch was made before they introduced the crystal saphire face and had a plastic face instead...unfortunately they couldnt refit it w/ a saphire one and he didnt think it was worth it to get another plastic face so he just wore it w/ a big chunk missing :lol: .....but then a patient gave him a new one(saphire face and all), pretty lucky huh?

i'll get a pic of the old watch when i go home for x-mas

[aawil]

I have a Tag Heuer S/EL with the leather band. And a Tag F1 with the rubber band in blue.

[PyroZona]

Well, like Jabba, I've barely ever taken mine off since I bought it about 12 years ago. Well, except the two times the band broke and had to be replaced...heh. I've had it so long that I don't even remember what series it is, lol! All I do know is that I've NEVER seen another one like it...which is why I still have it. I like unique things.

[BADMIHAI]

Tag Heuer makes VERY good, and very accurate watches! I know, I have one. Saving up for another Tag Heuer as we speak..... :)

[ferrari550]

i have a very cheap Eddie Baurer watch which i use daily and a Omega constellations which i use on special occasions. it is fairly old but still a nice watch.

[jon_s]

it is fairly old but still a nice watch.

That is the beauty of watches, it does not matter how old they are. As several people have pointed out, they have kept the same watch for many years. :D

[BADMIHAI]

Guess what I just bought yesterday? If you said "another Ferrari Enzo" you were wrong! I ought a Swatch Irony. A big one! I really like it. :) That makes 2 Swiss watches and 2 Japanese. :) Saving up for another Tag Heuer. Damn I'm a maniac.

[scubywrxr]

I hate to admit but I have a nice collection of swatches too.. they were quite trendy at one stage.. waiting for them to come back in style..

[spicymustard]

I wear an OMEGA Seamaster Profesional Automatic......

Also known as James Bond's watch, although i love it that fact aside.

[PyroZona]

Oooooo.....ok, I'm officially jealous! I want a Seamaster....BAD!

I've always liked those, and plus, it's Bond's watch.

[chernobyl]

Rolex are boring and cleche.
Just my opinion but if you have money to spend like that then a breitling is much nicer in any respect.

Rolex's only look nice in SS as the yellow gold is horribly ugly and very "pimp" style and platinum is just over priced for what you get.

[scubywrxr]

^ I disagree, would love a Rolex daytona in Stainless, its so much a "you have to be in the know " kinda watch - very elite and classy!

[Jabba]

Rolex's only look nice in SS as the yellow gold is horribly ugly and very "pimp" style and platinum is just over priced for what you get.

Thanks...I am sure you like Lamborghinis as well :wink:

[chernobyl]

Thanks...I am sure you like Lamborghinis as well :wink:

I dont thinK Rolex(exclusively) look ugly in yellow gold. I think gold is ugly but white gold is very bling bling and if you wanted you could pass it off as platinum as 99.9% can never tell.

But as for Rolex being cliche...i just think you can get far more for your money in a breitling. Have you seen their anniversary watch after Bentley won Leman. stunning.

http://i17.ebayimg.com/01/i/00/e5/e9/92_1.JPG

[Jabba]

very ugly indeed and far too over complicated looking.

[chernobyl]

very ugly indeed and far too over complicated looking.

haha, i know your serious.
....eye of the beholder.

[Jabba]

yes I am serious I wouldnt look twice at it...

[BADMIHAI]

That Breitling is similar to the Swatch I just bought. But at least Swatch wants to be a "youth watch".....Breitling is supposed to be more "serious" IMO.

[FoxFour]

Yes, I have a watch fetish as well. Though I don't have anything pricey as of yet. I have about a dozen or so watches in the $20 to $60 U.S. category. One day I hope to get a Breitling, really love those watches.

[d100x]

I have a Timex Expedition. Water resistant 100 m.I've had it nearly half my life, so it has all these scars all over it, and the paint is coming off; I can hardly see "mode" and the others have all been scratched off. I remember the buttons though. I've been looking through a Sears Christmas catalogue lately at the watches... but there are only a few that I like (I'm picky) and they all cost over $150. There's one that costs about $30 I might get... I'm not sure though.

[scubywrxr]

^d100 u fucking 100 years old.. isn`t ur time up as yet? u should not even bother having a watch :mrgreen: 0X

[mendocino]

Quite nice watch jabba, my father has the same but the normal version, I must agree with you on the breitling.. really not to my taste. but I have to say I'm more a leather bracelet man than a metal one (probably because I have tiny arms and big metal watches are just to big for me.)

[BADMIHAI]

leather bracelet man than a metal one



I have pretty big arms. But that's not why I like metal bands. The first nice watch I got had a metal band. I like big, bulky watches with metal bands. :)

[Drogear]

I got an all sainless steel Omega Speedmaster and I just love it :)

[Donny]

I really love watches. I got a small "collection" to wear every day, because I don't believe in special occasions. Every day must be a special occassion.

Here are some pictures of the models I own, hope you like em. Theyare all made of steel, not of platinum!!!!
