Anyone do watches?
Since moving into my Civic (not literally) I've noticed that I have a bunch more money (no mods, less gas, less insurance, etc.) so I wanted to get some jewlery with my extra cash. I don't do the ring/chain/bracelet thing, I did when I was younger and now I find it to be too flashy for my taste so I invested into watches.
First one I got is an Orient CDH0001B http://mvivda.bay.livefilestore.com/...tCDH00001B.jpg In-House Orient movement made and cased in Japan, dual time, slide rule, etc. After about 2 weeks with this I realized it was too much for daily wear so I got a Seiko SKX007K2 which is build like a tank and is rated to 200m, further underwater than I'll ever go. http://www.majhost.com/gallery/waspy/Watches/skx007.jpg That's my little collection for now, I'd like to start collecting Russian Dive watches in time. Does anyone else have any sweet timepieces? |
my uncle is into watches like were into cars, he just picked up one of theese ( http://cgi.ebay.com/18kt-PATEK-PHILI...item4aa37f7376 ) but its in much better condition.... ill try and get a list of all the watches that he has, id say over 110k worth of watches idk if they are all old like this one (1955 i believe) but hes got over 50 watches ill email him see if i can get a list or something haha

I've always like watches, and lately I've been into vintage watches. My small cheap collection consist of:
Guess G85746G ($85) japan movment http://i54.tinypic.com/2j3kzs4.jpg Kennith Cole KC1251 ($70) japan movement http://i53.tinypic.com/2j75aw.jpg Vintage J.B. Champion (gift) Swiss movement. No information on this watch. I only know it's from the late 60's. Looks similar to this J.B. watch http://i54.tinypic.com/106lu04.jpg And another watch that I have no idea what make/model it is. Early 80's watch. The entire watch was made to look like granite/stone. no picture. For a future wedding gift, I want the lady to get me a vintage Rolex/ Omega watch. |
I have a bad addiction to watches. Chopard Mille Miglia (newest pick up), TAG Grand Carrera, TAG Carrera Calibre, Welder K24, Breitling Bentley Chrono 6.75, Graham Chronofighter...just to name a few in my collection. Been collecting for about 10 years now. Watches are worse than cars...

Chris I have a watch problem to. I have a Breitling crosswind and a few Invictas. A Paul Silberstein just to name a few. I have my heart set on a U-Boat for my next purchase and dream watch is an IWC Perpetual. But that's almost 30grand. Also would love to find a Tag Monaco Steve McQueen. Ugh I need to hit the lottery or work for GoodVibes

I've recently gotten out of it for a while, but over the past three years or so I've built up a solid rotation of cheaper brands.
I've got my Invicta 9265 (I think) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3332/...7abb4ca8_b.jpg A generic Guess watch that I grabbed on a whim http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3323/...11aa4dd6_b.jpg Two Panerai homages http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/...069e9eff_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/...5e1c4698_b.jpg I also have an Orient Submariner homage http://www.orientwatchusa.com/images/2ER00001B.jpg and an Alpha Planet Ocean http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3...dit1024wa1.jpg |
