Since last posting to this thread I have started using an Eternamatic Kontiki (autowind) chronometer. First watch (other than my Sinn) that never needs a time adjustment - all I ever have to do is advance the date on non 31 day months. Built like a tank! Cost less than $1000. Rolex users, eat your heart out! :-) |
Casio Forrester (every day), LP (Lucien Picard) Chronograph when playing dress-up. Sometimes wear a Fossil Blue for everday. |
i havent worn a watch since i was a kid,just dont like having something atached to my wrist,probably buy a pocket watch one day, |
Omega Speedmaster Date. I wanted an automatic for a long time, I am very happy with the purchase. |
Wenger Air, Movado, Picard & Cie Titan-S, Skagen. I like them all but for thin and comfortable you can't beat the Skagen and it's the least expensive of the bunch at about $65.00. |
Panerai (titanium black dial, steel white dail), IWC Portugeiser chrono, Lange 1 (blue dial white gold), franc muller conquistadore, JLC sun moon white gold, dad's old rolex, graduate advisor's old omega, corum bubble square. I have been waiting for my IWC 5001 7 day power reserve for a few months now. I seem to still look at my mobile phone for time though! I think watch hobby is even more addicting than analogue....mehran |

A huge submarine watch. |
.......a Pocket Watch, but I've been looking at the slender and simple Movado. |
|
I've had my "Breitling 1884" for the last 10 years. It cost me a ton of money back then...My other expensive hobby used to be collecting Swiss-made automatic watches. This Breitling is the last one from those addictive years. |
plain old 2 tone datejust.
It's kinda the tank of everyday watches.
but i'd really like vintage IWC or Patek... |
|
Last 6 years that was Tissot... Love it |
I don't usually wear a watch, there are clocks everywhere. Once in a while i'll wear my grandfathers watch from the 50's?, an Omega, i don't know the model but it is comfortable, it has a rectangular shape. I wear it as jewelry i guess, it makes me feel good for some reason, maybe the family connection. Ok, now for a joke, My wife asked me for a watch for christmas, and i asked, what for ,there's a clock on the stove!! Only kidding, IT'S JUST A JOKE!! I'm not even married, as you can tell by the JOKE, Yes it's just a joke! Kinda funny though, i think. Any lady music lovers/audio geeks want to reply? Especially single ladies, although i'd like to hear from anyone, i deserve the abuse, c'mon. |
Swiss Army "Field" watch, given to me as a gift which is my everyday watch. I have others (Early 1960s Automatic Rolex, 1970s Automatic Longines, another recent quartz battery Swiss Army....) which I only wear occasionally.
Yes, time does matter particularly when I have only less than 30 minutes left to a listening session before I do all the other household chaos:-((. |
For every day wear I have a Tag Heuer 2000 Link its simple, built like a tank, and keeps good time. For dressier occasions I have a Tag Heuer Monaco, its a nice watch but not really sturdy enough for full time wear. The next watch on my radar is an Omega of some sort not sure which one. |
I wear a Swiss airforce watch since my beloved Zenith stoped working |
Just got an Ulyss Nardin Blue Wave Limited Edition. Love this watch although I am a bit more used to bigger watches. This hobby is bad and ain't easy to break....m.
p.s. got rid of the corum after 3 weeks...too much of a toy. |
TAG Automatic 2000 Stainless Vintage 1988 for work. Rolex Gold Daytona for play. |
Sorasound, I am not familiar with the Blue Wave, but there are a couple Nardin watches I'd really like!!!
Foie, you have another sweet watch I'd like, the Daytona! |
Brianmgrarcom, here is a link to info on Blue Wave...I love it.

Of course who knows what i will do in three weeks!
If anyone has a vintage IWC Big Pilot (or the Lange version), I would love to know.
Mehran |
Mehran, Very nice! I like the rubber strap, that will be my next strap, if I can find one I like. Brian |
i have a choice of four. tudor tiger chrono, omega seamaster chrono, chronoswiss lunar chrono, rolex daytona chrono. i am a sucker for multiple dial watches. paired down my collection by selling an omega schumacher chrono and a breitling about a year ago. the only watch i would consider selling is the omega, the rest are keepers. |
A choice of:
1870s 14K Roskopf demi-hunter minute repeater pocket watch
1950s ss Omega with Roman numerals
1950s Fortis Performance auto
1940s Enicar Minor military watch
1950s Hoverta auto
1940s Alprosa |
depends on the occaision... but my favorite is my frank muller conquistadore 18k gold... bought in vegas 2 years ago , during the ces....
every day wear? a hublot chronograph ,or a rolex submariner platinum with diamonds.....a pretty rare find... |
Omega Seamaster Professional
It's the only piece of jewelry I own. Some lovely young thing got me down and twisted my arm and MADE me buy it. |
Cool thread, I always thought that watches would appeal to audiophiles, just like high end cameras and other pricey toys. As for me, Tag Heuer SeaMaster, so I'm ready for the yacht race but can't afford the yacht. |
Basic Swiss Army but I really wonder is how many of you had to look at your arm to remember, ha! |
Ebel Automatic. Great watch. |
Currently,Rolex GMT Master II with red/black bezel....would really like to own the 50th Anniversary edition Submariner....the one with the green bezel. |
Tissot GTS chronograph quartz-I love it. |
I wear only COUNTERFEIT ROLEXES($100@ brand new), indistinquishable from new. Chineese of course and just as accurate. |
I only wear real rolex, a ss GMT Master 2, as far as being accurate, you seem like a nice guy, but you have no idea what you are talking about, I really dont think your Chineese watch is as accurate. |
Mint604
Thats the diference.Rolex is not accurate.No mechanical watch is,cant compete with quartz.Rolex has a wonderful history...read it up and you wont wear a fake.I wear a real Rolex GMT II with Red/Black bezel.I still get a kick out of it ,everytime I put it on.Class is priceless and timeless ... |
I'm personally a fan of old/antique Jaeger LeCoutre |
|
To all those who are so bloody proud to wear their class-less Rolexes: fake or not- I wear a fake Timex and it's virtually indestinguishable from a real thing |
For everyday wearing and Omega Seamaster midsize, have had it for over ten years, still hasn't missed a beat. For dress wear, I have a watch by Titoni -- a small Swiss company which makes fine watches for the Asian and middle eastern market. |
Wc65mustang, I have an 1968-9 Accutron (it is the one that was made out of solid 18c gold case) that stopped working about 6 years ago and I was never able to find someone who had the parts to repair it. It had something to do with the electronic parts. Have you had yours repaired?? My dad gave me the watch and I would love to get it repaired and wear it again.
Thanks, Lou |
CLASS-LESS- I THINK NOT! Maybe some day you will have some money, You must be kidding, A Fake Timex!!!
Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA |

Null1,
Perhaps, some day, you knucklehead, you'd be able to develop some sense of irony (and class)...
Go get a Rolex... |
>>Go get a Rolex...<<
Unless of course you want an accurate timepiece instead of a trophy.................... |
For everyday wear its either my Breitling Navitimer or for more fun my Starck (for Fossil) which is good for travelling as it has 2 timezone settings.
For more formal occasions, I have a Lange & Sohne 1815. This was a wedding present from the in-laws that I chose in lieu of a Rolex! |
uhurit, I was not trying to ruffle any feathers, sorry about the wisecrack, but really, I have had my rolex for 9 years, and never had any problems, and it keeps good time,PEACE |
Chipman,Lange and Sohne.....very,very nice ! |
Momentum (st moritz) Himalaya titanium field watch. A great looking 300m waterproof throw-away ($100) watch that you don't even know is on your wrist. I've got a 1986 Rolex Submariner date sapphire crystal that I bought new that just sits in a drawer. Somehow it just doesn't fit my personality & the image I want to project anymore, does anyone else know what I mean? |
Invicta "Swiss Saphire Elite." |
Chipman, you are a lucky man ....i used to have lange 1 blue dial white gold and miss it dearly....great toys.......mehran |
Yes I am very fortunate to being allowed to choose my watch instead of being given what they wanted. Knew nothing about watches before I got my Lange. I used to think the best watches were TAG, Breitling, Omega, Rolex et al.
Yes they are all still good watches (with a big chunk of marketing!) but the upper spheres of timepieces are incredible.
There are some toys to lust after that make a WAVAC seem cheap! |
