IA's official Watch thread

[81911SC]

I've recently have became very fond of watches and the movements inside of them. Some of that stuff is unbelievable. My daily is just a Seiko with a slide rule on the bezel. (Pics later) but I'm looking into some of Steinhart's for later in the year. Maybe something like this http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&artnr=159&Sel_ID=18#159

[Julio]

There is a thread somewhere about this.. Danny started it.

yes, Im a watch fan, got a few myself..

But, Mostly a MOVADO fan.

I wear a Cheap Guess, which has actually lasted more then I thought..Or a Older Gold Movado that I bought back in 99..

I also Got a MARC ECKO I hardly wear it.. but when I go to the club and want to bling bling.. lol- I rock..

And then, I have another MOVADO - I wear here and there.. Is my favorite.

I like watches.. Dont have to be expensive.. I think MOVADO is as far as I would make it though..

I got a few others.. but those are the ones I rocked the most.
Im thinking about buying another Movado.. The one I bought in 99 , I only had to change the battery once.. in 10 years.. pretty impressive.


Danny has some pretty pimp shit .. Pablo as well.

[WickedIXMR]

I have a hamilton x-wind.

http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/webapp/en-us/collection/?c=ka&y=14&p=139

Its a pretty big watch. 44mm wide and forgot how tall. Small watches are for pussy's. My favorite watches are Breitling's. Super Avenger and the chronomat evolution are couple of my favorites. Maybe in the future when I make some good money I'll have a nice collection.

I do agree with you.. Breitling's are pretty hot..

Pablo has a real nice one..

[WickedIXMR]

Yes they are. I love them. I was going to get one but they are a little too pricey for me right now. Plus I tend to wear my watch all the time and I get scratches here and there so I wouldn't want to do that to a breitling.

[DynamicSound]

I actually have been buying watches for several years now. I have 28 as of now.

I have tons of different brands but my favorites are by Kenneth Cole. I have Movado, Kenneth Cole, Gucci, Fossil, Seiko, and Burberry.

[81911SC]

Awesome stuff guys. I really like Mavodo's but they're just a touch too plain for me. Kinda what I like about them too though. Lol.
I love some Hamilton's too, especially the X wind.
I'm looking to move away from quartz though.

[LeGeNdaRyLeGeNd]

I have a few nice watches.. breitling bentley 6.75 and breitling bentley gt, also have a beater seiko velatura. I also have a few nicer gshocks.... 25th anniversary frogman, had a triple crown surfing gshock with black diamonds on it that was sold to bow wow. also have a few more..

I have sold my bell & ross br-01.

I am looking to by the black steel breitling or a steelfish super ocean. also I am looking at graham chronofighter divers. They are by far my favorite as of right now.

Ill post some more pics of my watches when i get a chance.

yeah, Im in the same.. I always think they are plain.. But thats what makes them so nice at the same time.. a fucking catch 22 if you ask me..

lol

Sometimes, when Im feeling stupid, Ill rock the big face Marc E.. but is just to much bling.. lol


You know what other watch I really like The Tag Heuer Carrera with the black face..

But uhmm.. Is like 2k.. .. negative on that.. But it is pretty nice.

Man, I've been looking at that Carrera for months now. I love that thing. I want to say you can get it a little cheaper off Amazon but the warranty is through them, not Tag though. Also, look into the Omega Speedmaster Pro. Same price roughly but it looks great too.

[BobbyFresco]

I have several watches but the one I love the most is my Chanel white ceramic watch...

[Paul]

i've never been into watches but a few months ago i saw a black dude w/ a bling bling watch and i fell in love w/ it... so when i can afford one i'm buying a BENNY & CO watch

http://www.itshot.com/images/products/962100.jpg

[uproot]

Love watches.... My favs include seiko, tag heuer, luminox (navy seals watch), and of course rolex.

basically anything swiss made, with the exception of seiko which of course is japanese

[Nemesis]

I cant wear a watch...everytime I type the damn thing gets in the way!

[SampaGuy]

I have a Swatch for every day, its nice when you can use one for casual or business. Sucks they don't have a single store in Georgia though.

I'll buy something nicer when I start making more $$$...

[chnco]

I'm a big fan of the class Rolex Daytona or Submariner. Can't go wrong there. I lost my datejust when I was in middleschool. Sucks

[81911SC]

I freaking love the 50th anniversary Submariner.

[RL...]

I'm have 1 kenneth cole, and 1 armani watch...

I love armani watches, mont blancs, and osiris are very nice! SOME rolex's are nice, some....

[Hondatwin23]

Ahhh people after my own heart. Right now I have 4 watch one was stolen in my house. Nothing special, guess,kenneth cole, and a bling big face diamond watch I bought when I graduated.

[justinxecushyn]

love watches.

I have a Rolex Daytona White face (special occasions only) and a Rolex Submariner that was handed to me from my Grand pa.

My boss purchased a Tag Heuer Carrera...best looking watch with a rubber strap. I want one.

[The Ren]

The guy im seeing is in love with the Breitling Super Avenger.. its a hot watch!

He is also a fan of the U-boat.

[Elbow]

I love watches, I will get a few pics of some of mine.

I am looking into getting a Tag Heuer next.

[Julio]

Didnt think we had Tag Heuer fans on here..

It shines a little to much.. But is a nice watch.

[GLulic]

The one I have right now, Suunto vector.
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww48/desenutssss/SuuntoVector-mfg.jpg

And my next purchase, Citizen Eco, its $500 so I'm a little hesitant about getting it lol.
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww48/desenutssss/eco.jpg

[BKgen®]

I wear a Citizen Eco-drive... love it. It's my second Citizen; had it for about 5 years and it's still going strong.

[Mr. Clean]

i had a thing for pocket watches when i was younger. my mom actually gave me a really old one that was her dad's i think it was. windup gold with red inlays. i thought it was soooooper cool when i was younger lol. in retrospect though, it is pretty nice. i'll get it from my parents and post a couple pics.

i also had about 20 of these gay bastards in 6-7th grade

http://www.made-in-china.com/image/4f0j00lGgEPvtLmaBWM/Rope-Bracelet-Watch-DH-SKB04-.jpg


lulz. now my wrists are just too small to wear a watch. they fucking dwarf my whole arm.

[salomon767]

i like watches!

[larossa9]

sorry guys, my friend left himself logged in on IA,
I LOVE THIS WATCH i have the meanest watch tan of all time, and ill go get pics of it soon, i love these i have 2,

So its worth it?

[TypeRPersonality]

My boss purchased a Tag Heuer Carrera...best looking watch with a rubber strap. I want one.

My brother just bought a Tag Heuer Carrera Day Date and gave me his old Movado. I prefer the simplicity of a Movado yet desire the prestige of a Tag Heuer!

I saw it today @ MAcy's of Barrett pkwy for 200..is a nice watch.

The Suunto? Dude I looked all the way in macon for that watch, couldn't find it anywhere, finally ordered it online lol.

[Julio]

The Eco-Drive

[eViLMunkey]

http://www.love-watches.com/images/Tag-Heuer/tag-heuer-WAC1110-BA0850.jpg

I recently got a TagHeuer Formula 1 (as a present from my mom), so far the best watch I have owned, especially since I've mainly had Fossil's and my Tourneu (Sp?).

One of my friends got me interested in Hublot watches, but of course they are way out of my price range.

[81911SC]

I really like the F1's also. Congrats

[eViLMunkey]

thanks they have a good weight and they're not too flashy since I'm not a fan of overly flashy watches

[81911SC]

I really like the bracelet too. Not sure why, something about the links though.

[LeGeNdaRyLeGeNd]

i think i may be the only one in this thread that is not a fan of tag's. Im not a fan of small watches. I need a watch with some weight to it.

I would rather get a nice raymond & weil, oris, ball engineering, baume mercier, breitling or bell & ross for around the 1k-3.5k range

[uproot]

SOME rolex's are nice, some....

LOL by nice do you mean LOOK nice? or have superb movement and time keeping ability? guess you just buy watches purely based on looks and not the quality of the mechanics.

[81911SC]

What Breithlings are available at that price? The Carrera does have some size to it and the Monaco.

[LeGeNdaRyLeGeNd]

steelfish superocean, aeromarine avenger seawolf, colt, avenger skyland etc.. you can find them all for right at or under 3k.. steelfish superocean on a rubberstrap is exactly the breitling i want it runs for 2k new easily

[81911SC]

Post pics. :goodjob:
Is that from an AD?

[T.C.]

So its worth it?

I've seen that watch for less, so shop around. As far as quality, I have been wearing a eco-drive for almost 9yrs now. I have one that has roman numerals and diamonds, and another that is a Night Hawk both of which are eco-drives. Definately worth it if you never want to change a battery again and have a durable good looking watch for less.

[Frög]

Yes, HUGE fan of watches..

Breitlings in particular..

[Frög]

I have a little collection.. I match them to my outfit.. :gay:


And my next purchase, Citizen Eco, its $500 so I'm a little hesitant about getting it lol.
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww48/desenutssss/eco.jpg

I have one, picked it up fro a lot less than $500 at north point mall..

SALES



Edit: OOPS
I saw it today @ MAcy's of Barrett pkwy for 200..is a nice watch.

[LeGeNdaRyLeGeNd]

Post pics. :goodjob:
Is that from an AD?

here is the pic of the one i want
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/movadobaby_2052_400785498

i like the black face and also the white

I know a jeweler in atlanta so any watch i try to go through him for the best prices. I will go to torneau in lenox to look at the watch and get a feel first then i will order it through my jeweler

[81911SC]

I like that piece, I'm looking for something a little less busy but that's nice for sure.

[Frög]

^ I like my Breitlings busy! As a matter of fact, that is a requirement..

http://www.mens-watches-guide.com/images/breitling_navitimer_50th_anni.JPG

If I want something simple, a stainless Rolex will suffice..

[redgst97]

My watch collection:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c135/AllstarsEast/Misc%20Stuff/DSC00126.jpg

Only watch I own and I never wear it. Its not the exact one but mine look 100% the same. Box and everything.

[LostSolVTEC]

Breightling SuperAvenger (White face, Pro-II strap)
U-Boat thousands of feet
Tag's are cool
really like the gold Ulyse Nardins..I think they retail for like 27 grand though :(

[ezavala23]

currently I own four watches, a tag, burberry, esq, and a raymond weil. I would love to get a breitling but it is way out of my price range.

[The Ren]

i like the tag!

[ezavala23]

thanks, I got that in 1999, still ticking good watch.

[The Ren]

thanks, I got that in 1999, still ticking good watch.

Seems there is minimal scratching done to it as well.. My boyfriend is a big fan of watches so Im trying to educate myself on the nicer ones.. I hate watches or bracelets, just seems to get in the way.

[81911SC]

If you got any questions Ren, we're here!

[On_Her_Face]

I have a Rolex Daytona with diamonds in the 12, 3, 6, and 9. Next time I go to Atlanta I will take it out of the safety deposit box and take a picture or two!

[81911SC]

Def. do that.

[The Ren]

If you got any questions Ren, we're here!

Thanks... hes on here as well, already put in his two cents..

[Terror]

This will prolly sound really lame...

But...

I love Nixon watches...

[Glides]

Cool watch, shitty picture. I've had this for almost 10 years. Mortima Super Datomatic. 21 jewels. It's a late 1960s model I believe. It has on feature that is a pain in the ass but I love it. It's a manual winder. Keeps me steady winding it every morning. Heavy, big chunk of metal.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/Sixgunsports/DSC01481.jpg

[SPOOLIN]

i have some gunmetal and gold seiko watch that was 300$ that i wear when i want to look fancy...so i've worn it about 5 times.

[BobbyFresco]

Anyone a fan of Chopard?
I'm thinking about getting one.

I've also been looking at the Bell & Ross designs....there's just something about them that I like...

[Z0_o6]

I like watches, but I don't have a collection like some of you guys. I wear a Citizen Eco-Drive daily. This one:

[ueyedgr8tness]

^ me to i wear the CED and the murdered out fossil for everyday and love it:)

[Z0_o6]

^ me to i wear the CED and the murdered out fossil for everyday and love it:)

i just personally don't like all the bling and 20 lb monsters that some dudes wear.

[ueyedgr8tness]

Nah my CEd is milder than yours and my fossil is just blacked out everyday watch.I also had a blueangel but the ex gf has it and wany give it back:(

[81911SC]

I love Nixon watches...They look decent but quartz.

http://www.itshot.com/images/products/962100.jpg



Thats pretty damn sick right there, these my babies right here..

I aint posting them until I find my camera. fuk cell phone pics.

[.blank cd]

They look decent but quartz.I'm still getting a couple. Those are more for the look than the movement anyway

[81911SC]

Yea, I have nothing against them at all. I just like the movements more so than looks recently.

[.blank cd]

hows this for movement

http://www.jacobtime.com/osc/product_thumb.php?img=images/1732440.jpg&w=243.2&h=400

[81911SC]

That'll do. :D

[.blank cd]

[81911SC]

Lol, not a bad beater. I love the Milgaus (possible SP)

[YoTa_BoX]

Right now i have a Citizen Titanium Eco drive, Bulova ( cant remember the name ) and a Citizen's Navisail

I love watches my self, Im really wanting a skeletal watch..one in particular.

Auguste Galan

[Donati03gt]

you can get a bunch of cheapos that look cool on propertyroom.com

[EJ25RUN]

My unkle works with watches so I've seen some nice ones over the years.

I like them to have a few basic complications and not have the bling bling look. Just serve its purpose well.

I'd say Breitling are my favorites but i wish they weren't so expensive.
