So i just bought my first semi decent watch. Nothing fancy just a decently priced light watch that i can wear out to nice dinners and family functions. Im new to the watch game so post up what you recommend and what you wear!


Just picked up a citizen Titanium Watch 2100

I must say that I am not familiar with timepeices because I don't wear them but, I do also have a citizen eco-drive watch and I am pretty satisfied with it even though I don't wear it. As for the long run I plan on reviving an old rolex that I found that my grandfather owned and hopefully get another watch to compliment it. I would like to eventually have a set of nice watches in a self winding box. But that is my aspiration, others would think of me as being materialistic but a nice enough watch can be passed down. Like old gold pocket watches, something that can hold value and maybe even a story.

I have been wearing Fossil watches since I can remember; nothing fancy and no more that $150. My next one will be a Movado 800 Series; Model 2600019 or 2600043.

You cannot compare ESQ to MOVADO..

Actually, I think ESQ is owned by MOVADO or something.

Now, Brietling ,.. yes, def Nice...

I have a Rolex, don't know the style. Dan has several Rolex's then a Cartier Posha. He never wears them, but started collecting them in HS. I wear mine when I go out to a nice dinner or whatever. It's nice because people actually treat you nicer. Weird.

i think ive seen his Cartier one time when we went out.

Yeah i mean was at the Ritz Carlton for a family vacation, and i dont know its just kinda rude to pull your cell phone out haha.

I wanted just something nice i could wear around if i went out.

I wanted just something nice i could wear around if i went out.You would know it if you saw it. I hate it. Very gaudy. It has a tic tac toe bezel on it.

But yes, some places it's nice to have a watch. I never noticed the watch people wear, but once I got one, I noticed lots of people noticed mine. Then when you go shopping some place nice, all of a sudden people want to help you. Haters.

These are the ones that I have been wearing for the past few years:

Tissot T touch:

Tissot PRC - 200:

http://www.timeway.eu/images/Tissot-PRC-200-T17158652.jpg

I also have a yellow and blue chrono citizen, a couple 20 yr old Casios...

Oh and an automatic, skeleton Swatch:

My next purchase will probably be this white ceramic Rado:

http://store.us.rado.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/R27832702.jpg

The whole watch is HIGHLY scratch resistant.



A Movado that I have always wanted is the Valor....made out of tungsten alloy (the hardest metal). It's slim yet it's a nice weight.

I also wanted this watch too. It feels so nice with its weight. :goodjob: Found it a year ago at the North Georgia Outlets at the Movado store for $399. Just didn't have a spare $400 on me at the time. :doh:

OH, you know what. I think it was Chanel and not Gucci. Oh well, can't remember, but it was hot.

I'm almost sure it had to have been a Chanel.
I don't think Gucci makes any ceramic versions but I could be wrong.

Picked this up about a month ago. Its simple, and I like it. Though mine has a black strap instead of a white one.

Or this BELT driven Tag:

http://cache.gizmodo.com/archives/images/tag_monaco_v4.jpg

TAG Heuer have constructed the world's first drive-belt transmission-powered watch, the one-of-a-kind Monaco V4 Concept. Displacing traditional watch design innards for a four-barrel sapphire and platinum linear oscillating mass system, the V4 throws almost 300 years of watch design out the window, rethinking entirely the way that watches are built and constructed.

Hey man, saw this forsale and thought of you. Its used, but in great shape. Bad ass divers watch, thats very affordable. Plus you dont get stuck with Movado hands that were stolen from Omega :D
