Thread: Wrist Watches

I've had many watches come and go over the years. Its like that when you collect them. Some of them have been:

Hey, you've got a Speedy too. That one looks relatively new -- is it? Mine's a 2007.

I like the Railmaster too. I want to get a vintage Omega to add to the collection. Winding this guy every day is no real chore, but a classic automatic would be neat. Maybe a Constellation or a vintage Seamaster.

You might consider a Seamaster to go with the Speedy. I have a couple of them and they are great everyday watches. Great looking and durable enough to take some abuse.

LOVING the spring drive!!!

Actually of all those watches I only still have the Spring drive.

As I recall the speedy was from around 2002.

The spring drive is a different and unique watch.

My one and only wrist watch. The Sea-Dweller that I bought 10 years ago.
It cured my WWAD.

I wear this Movado pretty much every day. Have some fossils also..but this is the nicest watch i have ever owned.

Yeah, the Seamasters are really neat. Since I first saw one, I've liked the look of the 2254.50:



Though the case is not only thicker than my Speedy, but the overall radius seems bigger from the pictures I've seen of them side by side. I realize that model and others very similar to it come in a few styles, but I still like the colours on the one pictured the best...and I'm not sure how I'd feel about owning too expensive black-faced watches. I think I'd want a bit of variety, you know?

For that reason I think I'd like to get a more vintage Omega. From the 1950's or 1960's, maybe. I saw a Seamaster at an antique store I frequent (I've nabbed a few nice razors there), but the caseback and crown were gold, which I don't like the look of. I prefer the stainless steel. It was 350 bucks. Maybe I should have bought it and tried to arrange for a trade or something. Ah well.

I think the Constellations are really nice looking too.



And here's a sweet vintage Seamaster:

We seem to like Nomos watches...

I wear a Citizen eco-drive powered by solar...

I'll post a picture later. I can't get one online.
