Watch Collectors ? Like watches ?

[Julio]

I haven't seen a watch thread on IA in awhile.. a search shows some old threads and didnt feel like bumping old threads..


How many watch people we have here ? back in the day we had a few.. post some pics..I'm a huge watch guy.. I hope to one day get my hands on a Tag Carrera..

I have a few types, Invictas, Guess, Movado, Casio, Seiko, Tag and others.. I don't care how cheap they are or how expensive.. as long as they look good to me.. Im good to go..

I just bought a new Tissot last week. I love watches. The invicta pieces are very nice especially for the money. Is your blue/blue invicta the 9094?

Yes sir.. Beautiful watch.. Paid about $85 bucks for it..the picture doesn't do justice.

[green91]

I think it may be one of the next pieces i pick up. Ive really wanted a submariner homage watch and the invicta line is usually highly recommended.

[Julio]

Is good watch.. Not high end, however, for the price is good. Plus is automatic, brownie points.

[green91]

This is the Tissot i picked up last week.. its a nice piece for the price!

Out of the watches I own one of my favorite is this one:

I never understood why they would sell such a nice watch with a plastic "crystal" :no: - I'm barely able to wear it because the "crystal is not in the best shape.

The best bang for the buck watch I have is the Tissot PRC200. It's built like a tank.

One of my dream watches...Tag Heuer Monaco V4. It's a belt driven, automatic watch.

Nice selection... And yes, TH Monaco = sick.

[Echonova]

Hmmmmm


I have a couple Mavados (from a decade ago when I was a Mavado freak) and Invictas.... Been wearing the Invictas as of late, just because it is hard to beat the bang for the buck they give you. Plus, if I fuck it up at work... Who cares?

I also share the dream of owning that Tag, but I don't sweat it. Either it will happen for me (at the right price) or it won't. At the end of the day, it's just a watch (as much as it pains me to say).

[green91]

What was that huge ass invicta you were wearing at the last meet?

Thats very true.. What Tag you want ?

[Echonova]

What was that huge ass invicta you were wearing at the last meet?Yup, it's my "daily" watch. The "flame-fusion" face is damn near scratch-proof and indestructible. It was their "Pro-Diver" Model #0069 (Yeeeaaayaaaa) which BTW: I would never trust a "diver" watch without a screw in crown and not a push-pull crown like this has. But let's face it... I'm no fucking diver either, so it's a non-issue.

Thats very true.. What Tag you want ?My dream is a model 980.031 “Night Dive” watch. Mostly because it bridges during the transition from Heuer to Tag Heuer and you can find dial faces with both markings.

And it was in a James Bond film, but was worn by Timothy Dalton so that's not a big selling point.

Thats a nice watch for its time...if i remember correctly, is black ?

[green91]

Timothy Dalton was my favorite bond LOL. im probably the only one who thinks that though. even if he was only in 2 movies.

[Echonova]

Thats a nice watch for its time...if i remember correctly, is black ?Yup, with a glow in the dark dial face. It's damn near impossible to find one that doesn't look like it's been beaten up. The few I have ever found are in poor condition, the ones I found in good condition I could never afford at the time.

[green91]

Turns out he wore that watch in "The Living Daylights". my fav 007 movie of all time
