NemeGuero 04-07-2006 01:29 PM

Get it...... *squirrel style* :coold:

ALTRNTV 04-07-2006 02:47 PM

I'm also satisfied with my $70 Fossil watch. :w00t:

Shock watch-ing! lol

monkey7 04-07-2006 03:19 PM

If I said you were crazy, would you throw a pie at me?

Its a piece of art work on your wrist, precison at its best. You'll get one when you start rolling in the dough.

OMGWTFBBQ 04-07-2006 03:22 PM

Fossils are nice imo

kensreliableb18b 04-07-2006 03:31 PM

i have a tag heuer carrera and thats the max i'll go. maybe ill change my tune a decade from now.

SilviaDriver 04-07-2006 04:06 PM

i enjoy a nice watch as i do a nice belt, wallet, tie and shoes.

I miss my $120 Fossil Speedway in titanium. I enjoyed it for about 4 months, and then the band broke into little pieces....:cry:

95Blue240sx 04-07-2006 06:54 PM

That second one is pimp. It looks like something out of Indiana Jones. My dad has a breitling, yes he is crazy. He bought one for himself and my mom. Heavy as fuck too.

Andrew Bohan 04-07-2006 06:57 PM

breitling claims their watches will go 100 years without needing to be wound. i'm sure i would break it or lose it in 100 years though.

i could buy a $200 watch every 4 years and go 100 years without winding too...cuz it's 25 watches.

yeah, I have one of those old G-Shock. No need for real nice watch(es). I don't want my arm to be chopped off if I end up in the ghetto.

+1 for Fossil watches, I have several

Not me, I HAVE broken 3 of 12 of them, but EVERY time it was my own damned fault, not a faulty watch.
I mean, I still use my phone to tell time, though. The watch is just there to look good.

Graduation present, got this instead of a ring. First and last nice watch I'll ever buy; it's amazing, but I always worry about losing the damn thing, lol.

S14DB 04-07-2006 09:56 PM

$5k for a watch? Pish. Minor leagues boy...

ranisron 04-07-2006 10:03 PM

Nice watch you got there. It's not that expensive yet it has great functions.

Andrew Bohan 04-07-2006 11:08 PM

the janitor at my old apartment had a 60's beetle, wore t shirts and jeans, and had a $15k watch. i forget the brand. then i've seen $50k watches around, and some over $200k

thats just silly. it better suck my dick and make me dinner and drive me around all day for $200k

Muzzy 04-07-2006 11:39 PM

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...dManx/79_1.jpg

thas my new watch. its a vestal. its flat fairly broad and the watch it curved to flow with the curve of your wrist. ....i likes it.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...dManx/37_1.jpg thas the one i really wanted but got out bid.

its not all snazy and shiny but i likes it.

and thas my citizen watch http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/Engl...180-03E&page=1

again....not snazy but i likes.

m072514 04-07-2006 11:45 PM

haha... for $200k you could get a... damn, you could just about buy ANYTHING for that much. but i guess the guys spending that much on a watch arent really worried about it.

ive got 2 watches, one black square metallic fossil watch with a black face and gold accents for my uniform (which is all black)....

http://www.fossil.com/images/us/loca...ger/FS4120.jpg

...and a calvin klein silver metallic bracelet with a big, simple face, for when i want to bling.

http://lib1.store.yahoo.co.jp/lib/neel/k2231130-1.jpg

that wood watch is pretty intresting. i'd definately get one if the price is right.

fossil= teh gheyness...s0rry kids

koukidough 04-08-2006 02:42 AM

wow those watches have too much design. I prefer cleaner and more elegant watches like Movado

sncs14 04-08-2006 10:14 AM

My officemate has a Breitling. He and his wife got one for eachother on their last anniversary. IMO, they're better than Rolex.

95Blue240sx 04-08-2006 10:21 AM

Tokyo Bay has some nice watches. Google them, they arent bad for the price.

Do you guys think that a nice watch = status symbol?? the chairperson at our program wears a TIMEX and he must have over millions in his bank account.

Those who don't understand why watch enthusiasts enjoy watches will never "get it". Just as other people might say "why do you need a 180mph car when the speed limit is only 55mph?" Remember, mechanical watches keep far worse time than your everyday $15 quartz from Wal-Mart. So we're paying more for something that tells time, but is fundamentally worse at it's sole task than something that costs 1/10th as much. It's just one of those things that some people enjoy and others will never understand.

I don't think of a watch as purely a status symbol. I wear a suit every day so other than cufflinks my watch is the only piece of jewelry I have. I want that one piece of jewelry to say quality, style, and reliability both to myself when I put it on in the morning, and to my clients. Sure, part of it is status, especially with a blingy Breitling (which are absolutely gross, btw) or a 47mm Panerai, but my Omega is very understated and says "he appreciates a quality watch but isn't stupid enough to spend $10,000 on one."


This is what my watch looks like:

http://www.omega-addict.com/reviews/...ter/watch1.jpg

It's an Omega Seamaster Professional Bond.

I decided to line up my Fossils like that too...
This collection does not include the 2 I forgtot to confiscate when I was at my brother's crib last week and the one each Coach, Guess and Kenneth Cole that are buried in the drawer over there.
I prefer to wear my Fossils on a daily, each came with an 11 year warranty and not one has ever needed it.

Nice watches.

..no, I don't like it because it's from Japan or anything, I like it for it's uniqueness and it's also a great topic starter.

Currently I'm rocking a Diesel watch..

Get this watch up to 88mph and maybe it'll take back to the '80's where it would be cool.

What's wrong about having a watch that actually has numbers and hands? Most times I don't even wear a watch. I just check my cell phone for the time.

NemeGuero 04-09-2006 01:28 PM

I can't wear watches.. I hate the feeling of them on my wrist.

In fact, I don't wear any kind of jewelry/accessory.

fromxtor 04-09-2006 01:47 PM

This is what I wear, its the Oakley D2 its taken lots of abuse and 2 deployments. Then the unobtanium one piece band broke, so i sent it back and they replaced the band and gave it a 10 bar prssure check for $20.

I got 5 watches:

Tag Link Chrono (first big purchase after I got a job, kinda regret it, overpriced)
Sector 975
Tissot PRC200
Omega Speedmaster (graduation gift)
some cheapo Pulsar Chrono I got back in the broke ass college days

The funny thing is the two watches I wear the most by far are also the two cheapest, the Tissot and the Pulsar. Especially the pulsar. I bang the shit out of it and never a hiccup, EVER.

S14DriftR 04-09-2006 03:49 PM

I like the G sensor Indiglo. When you bring the watch up to look at the time it turns on the backlight. Still haven't figured out what the e Data Bank is.

exitspeed 04-10-2006 12:42 PM

I too like a simple watch. If I had the money to go total baller style I'd go with this one. I know it's a Rloex, but it's one of the only men's watches I've found that has a mother of pearl face. Shit's dopw if you ask me. I'd do one just like this 'cept no diamond bezel...

Note.. anyone who wants a rolex.. Don't get one for time keeping. They suck. All rolex's give about a minute a month and last 3ish days before stopping so it's an everyday wear thing. My Rolex Submariner is no exception. My Tag Huer keeps good time but my personal fave that gets alot of complements is a cheap Android Ultra Watch. $75 http://www.android-usa.com/img/watches/AD53ABU.jpg

Many Others from there as well. Very rugged. Never the less 1 Rolex 2 Tag's and some play around watches.

This is the one I have.

I prefer Movado's myself, but am not in a position for a $5k watch.

So I rock a clean fossil. With a dead battery, keep them chickens cluckin.

I am currently wearing the Adidas ADH1398:
http://www.internationalwatchclub.co...2/_8532072.jpg
Got it from a Fossil outlet store in St. Augustine's, FL on my way home from Vacation in December.
I see them online for like $220.00, but I got it for $19.99 plus tax, a fucking STEAL, so I couldn't leave it.

I like Skagens. Had this one, felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all, it was so light. Lost it. :(

Then I had a Coach watch, lost that too. :mad:

Currently have another Skagen, looks similar to this but not exactly.

I bought my rolex air king 8 years ago for 2k.I know it's a lot to pay for a watch but,it was the first really nice thing that I bought for myself.All stainless and a lifetime warranty.No need to buy another watch.....ever.To this day I've never had it serviced and have only needed to change the time twice a year for daylight savings time

status:one 05-06-2008 03:29 PM

I have a Michael Kors watch which I get complimented on all the time. Definitely worth checking them out. www.michaelkors.com
