^^^I dont know why but the fact that your rep power is exactly 5000 bothers me lol


Edit. Also your post is blank

Edit2: Somebody beat me to it.

[kevin1645]

DAMN IT KARL! You really are a SOB lol. So jealous.





Lol kevin, you make it sound so easy. I'm working on it. You may see me posting one of these myself pretty soon. It's basically a for now grail. Like a realistic one at this point in my life. Obviously used.

I want you to have one. Then I'll live vicariously through you. I have the utmost faith that you will acquire one soon. I intend to find a used one in the future as well. I discovered it looks way too good on my wrist to not get one.

[Fernizzle]

and i was trying to embed this: http://vimeo.com/90198483

Rolex bro's I recently bough a lot of Rolex boxes to resell and inside one of them was a 2 tone link, its one of the smaller links 16mm, is there anyway for sure to know which watch this comes from?, no ref number on the link. I'm guessing it's a 16803 or 16613.

Tempted to buy this, whats the Misc think?

Hey boys,

Just wanted to put my name out there since I've taken an interest in watch collecting as a hobby. After reading numerous pages I see that some of you are seeing these purchases as an investment. Whilst I respect that, I've also seen some that are collecting purely out of an appreciation for the art of horology.

I know these watches are poverty in comparison with the most of you old farts (no negs), but I'm certain my taste in watches will only get better with age.

I'm still young (19) and these two pieces are the initial contributions to my collection. (not my photos)

Citizen Nighthawk BJ7010-59E (Asian Version)
Didn't like the very apparent NIGHTHAWK label in the face in the US versions, and the case back is also engraved as opposed to the etched on the other Nighthawks



Bulova 96A101 RETURNED BRAND NEW, I'll save up for a better automatic to be my first.
My first automatic, even though it's a Japanese (Miyota) movement I'm already enamored by it. Will probably invest in a black leather strap for it. I'm going to reserve my first SS band watch for an Omega / Rolex



I also have a Timex Weekender as my beater watch but I might get shunned if I do anything more than mention it

This watch is my all-star favourite, I can only hope to wear it one day

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 2503.33

hnnnnnnnnnnngh

Welcome to the thread!

I think someone in this thread actually just got one of these. Such a beautiful watch; I love blue hands/accents on a white face. If my heart weren't set on another, I would easily pursue this watch... Love that metallic blue.

Hi

I am looking around to buy my first watch before I start university this fall.
I am not quite sure which kind of watch I should go after - as I enjoy every variety of watches..

I've been looking mostly at watches with leatherbands and find them quite fancy.
Being a student my budget isn't that great - somewhere around 500$ is my top.

Thanks!

On that budget I would stick to the microbrands. Great quality for the money, especially on the 2nd hand market. Sapphire glass and eta movts for under 500 is a steal.

Ocean7 (all Swiss made) , Armidas, Helson, Prometheus etc.

My O7 LM6 on stock rubber. This thing does not leave my wrist, note the semi battered SS vs the pristine sapphire. It's worth every penny.

It's beautiful, looking at the pictures - the gradient of the blue shade changes depending on the lighting and angle.
On the topic of blue hands and white faces, I've also been looking at Bauhaus style watches - minimalistic in it's appearance, and it strokes a cord in the aestheticist within me. Two that stand out to me are very similar.

Stowa Antea KS 41 Silver

I know it's a German brand, but if I recall correctly it houses Swiss movement


Nomos Glashütte Tangente 38

And this pretty little thing has a completely in-house movement I think

[Joska]

Some other sexy options.

Fell in love....so comfortable and light compared to my PO. The green accents are beatiful.

They also had the 15000 Gauss which was slightly more expensive .

Gonna walk in to the nearest Omega dealer (4 hours away) in a couple months with a wad of cash (debit card) and throw down on one of these bad boys. Though they're all pretty evenly split I'll pick the one that looks best in the flesh. No more blind buying.

[yushhh]

Because you deserve it, yushhh. You. Deserve. It.



.

Lmao I don't understand

[skinnybro]

I actually think those look pretty decent sans diamonds. The stones make it just a wee bit too gaudy for me.

Fun fact: After DiCaprio throws his solid gold sub into the crowd of stock brokers in Wolf of Wall Street, he is seen wearing a Tag Heuer with diamonds for the rest of the film.

Fun fact: That wasn't a submariner. It was a gold Heuer Diver. Although the character he portrays did wear a Rolex, they had to change it to an 80's Heuer Diver for DiCaprio, who is a Tag Heuer brand ambassador. I own the same watch, although not in gold.

Here is the watch he wore in the movie.

[Fernizzle]

[yushhh]

Wait did the MWWC not know that?^^

[MartyrMoose]

Does anyone else get severe buyer's remorse on watches..?
I just spent 600~ on the two watches above and although I love them I just can't get over the fact that I just spent 600CAD on the Bulova and Citizen Nighthawk...

EDIT:
Listening to below, I returned the Bulova 96A106, although it was beautiful - I'll just wait and save up for a better debut to my collection of auto movements

If it ever hurts too much you probably shouldn't buy it. Only spend what you can logically afford. I have ultra conservatiave spending habits. Wore Timex for 2 years crew

[yushhh]

Just got this in. Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Flyback Aviator.

[TexasBrah]

I saw pictures of the Pepsi in white gold I think Scud may have posted, but has anyone commented on the new Milgauss yet? I can see a lot of people hating it or saying its too out there, but eff it I'm a fan.

[Achilles8]

Hey brahs, would appreciate some advice. Thoughts on this 6610?




Is it a service dial, etc? Serial no. is 368xxx

[yushhh]

^^^Hnnggg

Would rock like this.

[Achilles8]

^^^Hnnggg

Would rock like this.

Same here brah :-) nice 1016 there.


But what im looking for is an expert opinion as to what the fuk dial it is? The T SWISS T at the bottom is an absolute mystery. Maybe Scudbro or some other bros can shed some light on this?

[kevin1645]

Lol why me? Not that I'm complaining with the idea.

Lol. I'm just messing around. I saw those posts earlier about what watch and some questions about omegas, and I thought that Speedie would be a good choice.
