Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Anyone? I've got into it some just looking for something to wear around work and for more formal occasions. Anyone got anything fun?

Right now I dont collect as I don't have the money but I love a nice watch. Ive got a Seiko Chronograph and a Kenneth Cole automatic movt with the moon phase, date, and hour dials, I love it.

I have a few watches from Kenneth Cole, Georgio Armani and Skagen. But I don't collect them I just seem to have aquired them somehow.

I do have a few Swatches from the eighties that are different to say the least! :D

Not a collector, but love em just the same.

Maybe a rephrase, I certainly dont consider myself a collector but I certainly do enjoy them. I love the self winding automatics, such a cool sound when they are running

Omega. Seamaster, De Ville, and Constellation.

I've got a Breitling Navitimer and my grandfathers Patek Phillipe. The Patek is my best watch!

But for some reason I've been wearing a Frank Muller Conquistador Tourbillon Knock-off! Because I tend to bang them around at work.

I don't really collect watches, but I have more than one now and I would love to have a couple more. So, I guess I could qualify as a collector. My everyday watch is a Breitling B-1 and my "special occassion" watch is a Breitling Montebrilliant Legende.

Earlier this week I was at a Breitling client appreciation dinner and was able to try on a couple of limited/special edition Breitlings including a Breitling for Bentley Flying B which was all yellow gold and diamond encrusted. I believe the retail value on that one was almost $200K. :eek:

That dinner must have been quite some gala...
Glad that you could go..
200K on your wrist....
whew..
I love to play off watches now and again. I seem to lease them as I turn them over fairly frequently..
I just had this Glycine Combat relumed at IWW.
Wonderful watch.

Anything by Armani will do you well for day/night wear.

For dressier occassions, I have a Burberry Chrono. For daily use, I stick to my Timex!

I've got several lower end watches (michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, etc)

My goal is to buy a Breitling Super Avenger or Navitimer in the next year. Anyone get a slick deal on breitlings?

I bought this Rolex Date on the old CS and haven't had it off my wrist since.

No big collection but I do love and appreciate fine watches. I do have 3 Hoyers (Pre-Tag) that I cherish but one of them no longer works and can't get parts. BOOO TAG, would not invest a large sum in one if they are not going to provide long-term parts availability.

I love my Omega Seamaster and wear it most of the time, but I have a Luminox Navy Seals that I wear as well
