Classic!

**Big_Jim** · 11-01-2010, 09:23 PM

Looking at the price of them, I'd probably trade my car for one.

ndubz · 11-01-2010, 09:37 PM

I have a Citizen Eco-Drive with 28 diamonds all surrounding the face.

I too dont really do other types of jewelry so I like to do it big with my watches and my sunglasses.

My last one was a gold Wittenauer, black face, with 12 diamonds. I have a few Seikos from over the years too.

I aint got any up close pics yet, cuz everytime i try taking a pic, the shine from the ice breaks the camera

Thanks in advance for the pix Chris!

Still waiting on my Lyndon, ETA 11/8-11/16

Few more shots of it

Cant go wrong with a Submariner. Timeless watch (no pun intended)

But personally I'm in love with the Rolex GMT Pro Hunter. Even thought Rolex won't service them since their "customized" Rolex's. But they will transform them back to stock for a price, then service them. ell oh ell

And has anyone seen the rosegold colors Rolex has? Amazing.

Here you go Alex...48mm next to a 40mm Rolex and 41mm TAG. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.

angdefeo · 11-02-2010, 07:51 AM

Very nice Chris....oh and the watches are really sweet too. Seriously though the watches arae really nice.

RSX Type-Slow · 11-02-2010, 10:38 AM

wow the 48mm is a big bitch.

CleanNeon98 · 11-02-2010, 11:36 AM

Indeed...may be a touch much...

11secdsm · 11-02-2010, 11:59 AM

It's definitely a big watch. Not for everyone...especially if you have small wrists. Even I don't wear it too often and I have a big wrist.

RSX Type-Slow · 11-02-2010, 03:04 PM

Althought is an awesome watch, I'd almost be embarrassed to wear a watch that big. It draws too much attention

11secdsm · 11-02-2010, 03:21 PM

I'm 6'2" 275...it doesn't look as big as you'd think on me. ;)

yea I can imagine it looks proportional on ya. It'd look like a dinner plate on my string bean arms

CleanNeon98 · 11-03-2010, 10:30 PM

I think I'm going to take a bite on that 47mm. I love the design and if I hate it that much I'll sell it. Cheap enough to keep even for occasions.

RSX Type-Slow · 11-03-2010, 10:36 PM

Honestly clean, the Lyndon looks 100x better than that one.

CleanNeon98 · 11-06-2010, 08:30 PM

The Lyndon is already coming. Client at work today commented on my SKX007 and we got into a talk, he told me several times that with my smaller frame I can get away with the 47mm if I wear it at the right times, not a daily wear for sure. Still debating it for $115 shipped, most other places are selling the mechanical wind (not automatic) for 140-180 + ship.

RSX Type-Slow · 11-07-2010, 01:56 AM

spent hours at the mall today (by girlfriend default) and not gonna lie, Eco drives are sweet watches. Might have to get one soon.

Does anyone have a pic of a 47mm next to something else? I can't get an idea of just how big that is, I really want a 47mm Ticino but don't want to buy it if it's going to be huge.

I dunno. something that I can wear anytime, but still looks good with nice clothes? I guess that doesnt really say a lot lol

Newest purchase. Just got back from picking it up.

43mm TAG Heuer Carrera
