What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

Bringing back an old thread, I was looking for something else and stumbled upon this one(seeing as there are many new members who may have missed this one) watches they are another one of my passions(cars, women and audio are the other ones-in no particular order). I currently wear a Cartier Pasha C w/ss strap and deployment clasp, I also have a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day/Date two tone SS and gold w/diamond face, Tag Heuer Kirium SS, Boktok w/leather strap(some wacky Russian manual wind watch) and am looking for an Ikepod, either a Seaslug or a hemipode which ever I can find for a good deal. I also need to get a JLC before I die, though am in no rush for it! I like the cartier the best out of the bunch, I really need to get a life!
Stasis-Well that depends on what your wearing? if you have an A.Silberstein that you wear to funerals then yea you need help, but if your sporting a PP Nautilus then your cool in my book ;)
Ozfly-One of my friends has a Patek that is VERY slim, and pretty small face(male not a females watch) with a Reptile Strap, it is super lite. I forget the model number but they retail for around 15k, if your into watches it would be worth it.
Eric-I have a Kirium its OK but it is the one watch that I have that I don't care for too much, probably because it is quartz, they are available as an automatic and I would strongly advice towards getting it that way as it will have NO value retention if it is quartz. The reason I don't sell mine is it looks OK, and its msrp was $1500(paid 1/3 less though, as should you watches like most jewlery is over priced) and I could sell it for $400 since its quartz. It was the first watch I bought and didn't know any better, but after gazing at an automatic for the last 2 or so years, as one member here claims AM radio hurts his ears, I think watching a quartz watch tick-tick-tick hurts my eyes-those here who are into watches know exactly what I am talking about. I believe the Monaco series are available as automatic's as well, it will cost a little more now but it will be worth it. Check out www.tfta.com he is a member here he sells audio, watches and guitars, they may not have what you want but that is were I would start. also check out www.artoftime.com and www.bgrayjewelers.com those are the best places on the net to buy a watch that I have found.

Interesting that this thread comes back into circulation, I thought it was deleted! I just got a new toy in my collection, an Alain Silberstein krono2 with tons of extra goodies! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it set properly and make sure it always stays wound, or it'll take another 2 weeks to get it set again! Those who know what the Silberstein's look like know how fun it is to see in action.
In particular a rolex with beveled gears, that movement always runs fast, its near impossible to get them adjusted right.
