Watches... what do you guys/gals rock?

[philipfreire]

I'm deciding between two watches right now.

The Armani Ceramica Mens Watch AR1400
http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/AR1400_main?$armani_detail$

and the Burberry Chronograph Mens Watch BU1372
http://image.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/i/j/nanaple_bu1372

Which one do you guys prefer?
What do you guys rock?

[ovie8]

I got a Gucci G Chrono...But I would not recommend buying Gucci or the two that you have posted....

Get one made from an actual watch maker...

Edit: I bought mine out of impulse...lol

[philipfreire]

Yeah I know, all designer brands are made in china... your thinking something swiss made?

[MSMitch]

The three watches in my current rotation are:

Citizen Eco Drive Titanium 200m Chorono
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/WatchCitizen-1.jpg

Invicta Grand Diver Automatic 300M (this one is HUGE)
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/WatchInvicta.jpg

Seiko Black Monster 200m Automatic - still one my favorites
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/WatchSeiko.jpg

[ovie8]

not necessarily...like seiko is a good brand for that price range...

But if you are going purely for design....I like the burberry one

[philipfreire]

I have a Seiko currently. Good watch. I was also looking into Nixon...

I personally prefer anything Armani over anything Burberry.

Plus the black ceramic looks waaaaay sicker

[philipfreire]

When I worked at Sporting Life, the Nixon Player watch was by far the most popular

A tad plain in my books tho. But I do like the Nixon Banks watch better

[prinsesa]

I actually dont wear a watch lol (I depend on the Blackberry lol) But I had the Chanel J12, I would so rock it.

But speaking of watches, I just bought my bf a watch for his birthday..=)
http://images.shopnbc.com/is/image/ShopNBC/j333127?DefaultImage=1&$350x350_jpg$
Water resistant up to 500 metres, Stainless Steel bracelet, deployment clasp or fold over? I forgot..lol.
And its a genuine black mother of pearl with a dragon cut out =) I thought it might be cheesy but it's actually really nice!
It's an automatic watch as well, with SW200 movement.

Warning though, it's heavy and definitely not for skinny guys, because the watch is BIG lol You need to have thick wrists to pull it off lol

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Omega-Seamaster-p1020460.jpg/800px-Omega-Seamaster-p1020460.jpg

that's a real watch there! Omegas kick some major ass. If you're going to spend some real coin on a watch you might as well get one that's actually made by a watch manufacturer. If going for pure looks I wouldn't spend more than $100 on a "fashion" watch.

Can't find a picture of my watch online it's an older model. but it's a lorus with a steel strap and a white semi rectangular face no numbers on the dial, just pointers. will post a photo later

[S.F.W.]

My current favourite is a Nixon Spencer watch:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/SFW079/nixon-spencer.jpg

Also have an Ecko watch, and a few others. Planning to pick up a Breitling in the next month or two.

if your going to get Burbarry stay away from ebay the price is good but there FAKE

I voted neither; get a "real" watch so to speak if you really want one

[Scottobot]

Bad luck to buy a watch for your bf/gf if you're superstitious. It is said that you'll break up 6 months after giving the watch.

I have a Mazda watch myself.

[Fuyuzora]

Main watch is a Seiko very similar to the one below. Kinetic FTW.

[loganm3]

Don't go with Burbarry....my roommate has one and the chrono messed up and it's a cheap feeling watch (and its a real one)

As for the "don't buy a watch for your bf/gf I'd say it's true. I had never heard that before, but I've gotten one watch and 5 mths later we were done. My roommate got a watch and 3 months later he was done. I'd say it's true!

If you're superstitious to that point, buying someone a watch technically means you're buying someone "time"... Which means you're limiting the person to only a certain amount of time left to live. My wanted to get me a watch for Christmas but wanted to tip-toe around this so she told me she wanted to buy me a watch, had me choose one, then gave me money for me to buy it. Loophole :chuckle

I've got a couple fossil watches, an Eco-Drive, and am getting a guess watch for christmas.

[taz4432]

Personally, like the others recommended, it makes more cents to buy a watch from a reputable brand than to just buy something from a fashion brand.

If you're going to choose strictly between those two though I'd go with the Armani. It looks quite nice (except for the Armani logo in lieu of the 12, it looks tacky). The Burberry looks wayyyy too generic for the kind of coin you're probably going to be spending on these things.

Prefer the design of the Burberry, though from the posts here, I guess they aren't all that great.

[Riftler]

Not to jack the thread but anyone know a good place to fix watches? I got a Timex watch that I love thats suppose to be water resistant....went swimming and now it died. Dont even know if it will still work but i would like to try

[Sochi]

Get yourself a nice Seiko - best bang for the buck IMO..
Or if you have a bit more money get yourself "real" watch - Omega would be my choice...

[bluntman]

I am currently using one of these:

http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/asobi-ds/cabinet/casio/eqw-m1000dc-1ajf-1.gif

It's a Japanese model which I picked up through eBay. It replaced my Omega Seamaster (call me crazy) as my everyday watch - it is silver and seemed too flashy, hence the all-black Casio. Of course, now I am looking at probably picking up one of these:

http://www.countshop.com/images/Luminox-Dive-Chronograph-8361_2.jpg or http://www.worldwatchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/luminox-blackout-evo-f-117-nighthawk-stealth-pilots-watch.jpg

Chances are you are out of luck. IMO a Timex isn't worth fixing. More than likely, your timex is not fixable anyways, as it's probably just a single circuit board.

[Mazda3X2]

^Nice watch. Are you a pilot or just like the look?.

Thanks. Not a pilot, liked the look of the watch and I wanted an all black one. I do work on A/C and travel quite a bit. All A/C paper work is done with reference to UTC so it's nice to have on the face all the time too.

I like the Blue Angels watch there too.

[TheMaterial]

My old watch...Rolex Datejust..sorry for the blurry picuture it was from the iphone. Still have not 100% decided on what to buy next. I've got a few in mind though.

If I can offer one piece of advise...don't cheap out on a watch that you plan on replacing every year or two. Invest some money into a quality timepiece that you'll keep for the rest of your life; I promise you will not regret it.


I have 5 or 6 watches but am currently rotating between these two:

Tag Calibre 5 500M

That rolex is a beautiful watch. My question is, if you've got the cash to rock a 4000-6000 used, or closer to 11000-13000 new watch, then why driving a mazda 3??

What car would you get with $4k - $6k more in your budget? And who has the $11k - $13k watch? I could have boosted my car or bought my watch. I chose the watch because it will outlive the turbo and my 3. With the cost of my watch added back into the car budget what would you be driving and what would you be wearing on your wrist? I'd take my mazda 3 and my Omega any day over a mazdaspeed 3 and calculator watch.

Although I do not care for watches, I can appreciate the fact that Breitlings, Rolexs and Tags hold significant value and can become a great investment. Who cares what the user drives, anywhere in 15-25+ years down the road, the watch will still hold value (maybe more) where the car will be scrapped or recycled.

[PearlM3]

Honestly I meant no ill will, and actually I never thought of a Rolex as an investment.

[Donutz]

No worries man! I wasn't digging on you, I was curious about how the $4k - $6k would affect someones choice of car; it's arguably a lot to spend on a watch, but fairly insignificant in terms of the cost of a car, imo.

LoL - Tag shouldnt be NOWHERE NEAR these watches. I mean my RADO alone is worth 2 Tags. Whereas a Rolly is easily worth 10 of my RADO's

Thats like saying Maybach, Bentley, and Toyota.


Plus - IMO, Tags arent that great...definitely not even excluse. I owned 2 Tags before I graduated high school.

Got this from my crazy balling uncle. He used to wear this but he no longer does so he gave it to me. Have had this for a year now and haven't really worn it. I don't really wear watches so i usually have this sitting at home.

[Mazda3X2]

I agree with a lot of the comments about getting yourself a nice watch from a reputable watchmaker. It is something that you'll have for a long time. But from there it all comes down to how much you can or want to spend. I wouldn't go spending $5,000 - $10,000 if you are still saving for a house or something like that. IMO there are some nice watches out there for under $1000 that might fit the bill. I bought a Tag Heuer Formula One years back while on vacation and I love it and I want to buy myself an Omega someday but it just isn't in the cards right now. I picked up a Citizen SkyHawk which I am really liking for the price too.

Good luck in your search.

My car is definitely more than just a car to me. I purchased it back when I was 19 and before I was making any sort of decent money. I'm now finishing up my Master's, teaching at McMaster and working in a clinical research lab at the Hamilton General Hospital. I'm saving for a house so buying a new car isn't exactly a priority at the moment.

I went by Pacific Mall yesterday and saw some POLICE watches. (not what a cop would wear, but the brand) anyone have any opinions on those? I asked what kind of movement and they told me Japanese.

Seems to be an italian brand. Took a look at some in the on-flight brochure on my flight back from HK. Some interesting designs.

I almost bought this watch and a blacked out citizen watch today....If I find a watch I really like I usually impulse buy them, luckily I had a friend to remind me my car needs new brakes. lol

[MAZDA Kitten]

Phil - if you're so set on getting that Armani or Burberry just head across the border to the Fossil outlet where they go for about $100 each. They also make Diesel, Michael Kors, DKNY....

Picked this up last week :D

[Zuluwun]

I'm gonna sound like an ass for saying this, but why pay for a flight computer on your wrist if you don't need it/know what it is/know how to use it? Is the pilot watch a fashion statement now? :S

I think they look OK... I personally wouldn't wear one mainly cuz I don't dig huge cases. But my question stands, if you're gonna drop a few grand on a watch why buy a built in function that you won't use?

[stevenma188]

Cuz pilots are gods!!!!!
:gone

[dave2010GT]

Your right but that same question could apply to people who buy any luxury watch why spend thousands on devices that tell time when a timex can do the same thing. It's about luxury and vanity IMO.

In all honestly I got a deal I could not refuse from the jeweler.

[stevenma188]

I think when I get my Transport license I want to get a Breitling watch that comes with an ELT.

Question to all. If these watches are replicas I understand how you can afford this. But if real? Why would you buy a mazda3. Lol

S.11 Tactical second-generation black Field Ops watch. It's not pretty and it sure doesn't look fancy, but then again, I don't need it to be. I show up to work in a button down shirt and jeans so I don't dress to impress, and my customers tend to look and see which knife is in my pocket rather than what tells me the time.

[Default User]

my take on watch collecting:

any self-indulgent douche with 10K to burn on a watch can own a Rolex or Breitling
All it tells me - is that people have too much money.

That being said - I also notice people only posting web-pics of their watches. Which only tells me either (A) people are talking a lot of smack and don't actually own these watches, or (B) you shouldn't be driving a Mazda 3

Just sayin'
Now don't get me wrong - I fully share the love of these time-pieces, and I too, am an amateur collector.
One thing I learned about "collecting" is not all pieces need to have 5-digit price tags.

just my 2 cents

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Then in the early 2000's - I got married had a kid, bought a house and started buying cars. So the collecting kinda chilled out until recently.

Funny thing is - my Collection is worth less than $2.5-3G combined - not even half the value of one watch a lot of people are claiming to own

Watchuseek, a forum. I just joined but it won't be good for my bank account.

lol yea.. ahah 1.7 mill on a watch. yea right. but even $32,000 on 7 watches.. more of a waste of money unless you make about $100 000 + a year but still and expensive collection

[RTEnthusiast]

this was the list posted in wtb tag or breitling that i would like to see actual pics of most.
-Rolex Submariner two-tone
-Rolex Milgauss
-Panerai Scuderia Flyback
-Breitling for Bentley Motors
-Tag Carrera Calibre 16
-Patek Philippe Pilot
-Tissot Men's Classic
-Chopard Mille-Miglia GranTurismo XL

if they are all real thats some heavy $ put in watches.

Will post this as soon as I'm back in Toronto tomorrow! I actually meant to do this yesterday before I left for the weekend. Thanks for the reminder John.

I inherited the Patek from my grandfather when he passed away. A couple others were handed down by him over the years.

Watchuseek, a forum. I just joined but it won't be good for my bank account.


WUS -> Watchuseek forums, a forum for watch enthusiasts/collectors. I was interested in watches but that forum turned my interest into a freaking addiction! I'm always planning a next watch.

Gotcha - never heard of it till now LOL
I'm VERY reluctant to start looking on that site for fear of spending (more like borrowing) money on more timepieces.

Mortgage, kid, pregnant wife and 2 car loans definitely take priority over watches I probably can't even wear (allergy to nickel content in metals)

For some reason - I actually believe in your collection (or at least some) without seeing photo proof. It's not difficult at all to own some of these timepieces. Some of my best friends got Rolex and Breitlings as grad or wedding gift.

Hand-me-downs are actually very common as watch collecting was very popular in the 70-80's. then Swatch came in and ruined a lot of the hype LOL.

One of the pieces I sold was an old pocket watch. I found it in the closet in my house when we moved in. It was busted and thought it was useless. Pawned it off about 15 years ago for $400. Few months later, I saw it in the display case (repaired) going for over $1500 :(
Apparently it was almost 100 years old


But what I don't believe, that for a "Dodge RT Enthusiast", with a Mini, BMW, and Benz - you're even on these boards LOL

Haha, I had a Chrysler Intrepid R/T that I'd modified extensively. It was my baby; had it well past 240K. I traded it in for my Mazda3, which I'd still have if it hadn't blown up on me. Mazda dealer was at fault there.

My life's gone through some extensive changes. I'm not as car ADD as I'd appear here. The Benz will be around for 10-12 years for sure, especially since it gets less than 3,000km/year put on it.


Also, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that I don't even have close to $100,000 total invested into watches.

I'd really like to see actual pics or wrist shots of the Vacheron Constantin tourby moon phase but that's just me!

exactly. rolexes and breitlings pale in comparison to a vacheron. even the ulysse nardin mentioned earlier is nice.

[doughboyr6]

that was the thread and posted from rte, im not looking for a new watch. but your right.

not all breitlings are that expensive. i find the ones that are, are usually the gaudy ones with diamonds and stuff hence the inflated value. once you add precious stones to any watch, the value goes up

here is my modest collection.

thanks, yeah the amount of mods for a monster are endless. i prefer to keep it simple. i want to add a mesh bracelet though.

Not everyone equates price point or brand name with what they like

I happen to really like Tags... I also like Breitlings.

Would I be a bad watch person for buying a Tag and not a Breitling? :P

At the end of the day I have to wear it on my wrist, not some watch snob from WUS :D

Hope to update this thread soon, have a few watches in the mail. Rotary Chronospeed, and two Panerai homages.

[sammifan]

Steve, can't wait to see which homages you picked up. I'm itching to pull the trigger on a couple more, maybe for Christmas.

Titanium case, hazel gray strap, white stitch. Face will say "Marina Militare" though.

Plus one of these, requested that the numbers come in gray not black though, so they stand out a bit more. Polished case, seal brown strap, beige stitching.

Wasn't knocking on it. Just found it a little funny that they are completely different styles.

And yes - I have pieces that I wear daily that aren't everyone's cup of tea. Nor are they expensive by any means. I wear it cause I like it. Not for swag.

But there are also pieces I don't wear because they aren't replaceable or because I'm allergic to the metal.

The Parnis ones are usually around $100 depending on the source.

Finally came..

I think they took longer because I customized them a little, request different hands etc..

I myself used to find that owning a watch was costly as I kept breaking them constantly. Haven't owned a watch for a long time but I love them none the less. Wanted to get into the Military and was looking at this brand.

Haven't bought one yet but I will once I finish college as a present to myself. The only thing that can stop these watches is literally getting ran over by a tank. These are watches you would own for life!

They are 44 and 45mm respectively.

Beautiful watches...for the price I might pick up a couple. Were they purchased from the Parnis/Getat websites? or Third-party. Just wondering so I can order from credible sites that you guys have used.

[HavocSteve]

Just purchased today @ STC.

Was going to get a Fossil but I think the better quality of Police will serve me well. Now I'll start my watch collection with this watch.

[Aitch]

Mine were from Getat. Great quality and service.

[mParsonz]

Kind of ironic, I've been looking around for a watch that I like lately and I just seen this thread haha. Some beautiful watches on here my god !

I'm leaning towards a Nixon Private SS.. Its cheap but decent quality from what I've heard..
