love my Movado

no offense to anyone who has one, but personally I think Movado watches are the most generic, boring watches made. Especially for their price.

I was thinking about making a thread like this. I also have a bit of a watch obsession but wouldnt exactly say I have a collection.

Lumtec LZ1 - Bought it about a year ago. Rarely wear it though. Superb craftmanship, overall awesome watch but a bit annoying to wear for an extended period of time based on the fact that its freakin ginormous. I'm planning on buying plenty more lumtecs though. The entire line up is amazing. I pretty much want all their watches lol

I'm a big fan of baller watches, but I'm more about weird and uncommon timepieces. I just ordered these three:

Yeah, it's made of wood.

This is the Tokyoflash Negative, you read the black spaces on the face to see the time:

And the Tokyoflash Rogue, a little more thinking involved, but it's still neat.

**Big_Jim** · 10-21-2010, 01:08 PM

I dont really have a collection, but I do have a couple fossil watches, older citizen watch, a G-Shock, a Breitling that my uncle gave me, and one watch that I absolutely love. Its a Vestal Monte Carlo, but from Scion.
Sorry for the horrible pic, but Ive only worn it like 2x. its been sitting in its case ever since.

I do plan on picking up a couple Tokyo Flash watches, I love them, and how overly complicated they are lol.

I can barely read an analog clock, now they make a watch that displays time in CODE? That Tokyoflash Rogue is sweet looking, but by the time Id have the time figured out, itd be a different time.

**Got Insulin?** · 10-21-2010, 01:52 PM

All of the Tokyoflash stuff makes your head hurt for a minute til you learn how to read it. Lemme grab a pic of the Lanechanger, it's rediculous.

Andru-
Sick collection, man; we've got similar tastes, just different budgets apparently, haha. What's the one with the squiggly hands on it?

Yah man.. I like your collection.... The Squiggly hand watch is not something you see every day.. Its Alain Silberstein. His stuff is interesting and an acquired taste.. Here is his site..

Some of his crazy stuff.

It's one I picked up off of ebay. Not really a fan of it honestly. It does it's job, but it's cheap to the touch and the motor is LOUD. When it used to sit on my dresser I wanted to throw it across the room at night. Now that it sits in my safe, it's not so bad. I've have another watch winder that holds 8...paid about 4 times as much but it's SO much nicer. It's full as well. LOL!

RSX Type-Slow · 10-21-2010, 10:13 PM

Loving this thread so far. I've always been a fan of the mid century Omega "physicians" watches. Timeless (no pun intended) looks. Hopefully I'll get one soon. But my favorite watch to date is the Tag Monaco Ls chrono. One day......maybe....

11secdsm · 10-21-2010, 10:21 PM

Thanks.

I'd really love to pick this JLC up next.
