Get an automatic, no more battery changes.

Of course, of the 30 watches I tried on tonight my favorite one was a Bulova.

I'll see if I can find a pic.

I finally found out what's wrong with me as a person. I don't give a 5hit what time it is!
That only just occurred to me tonight after flipping through 8 pages of this and finding out
there were 42 pages of it. I have worn a watch for the equivalent of about one of my
48 years in total. Just don't like the feel of it on my arm. I have developed an uncanny
ability to know what time it is within about five minutes at any time during the day. It must
be like blind guys being able to hear really well. Those are some nice watches, fellers

I really want to get a Ziiro watch. Like really badly.

Rado have really turned their image around the last decade or so. Always innovative and tough, but odd styling. Now they have a perfect balance of the two. Been thinking of getting a Rado as well. They are well priced in general and made right near our shop. More popular in Switzerland than USA it seems. Same with Mido.

I love watches. Rolex Submariner does not come off my wrist.

I'm a huge watch enthusiast!

I have 7 LUM-TECs, an Omega Great White, Rolex Sub, TAG F1 Grande Date, Seikos, 2 Stowas and my latest addition is a Panerai 111

Another new watch for me. I have a couple of pricey watches that I'm almost always afraid to wear. I hate desk dings. Anyway, I picked this Seiko up for 90.00 with the intention of it being my knock around watch. Turns out, it's nicer than that and I wear it all the time. Seiko makes nice watches for not a lot of money.

Hey Larry, I really like that watch. Do you happen to know what model it is?

Thanx

This looks good! Can you recall the model? I want to buy one for my husband too.

Yes. It's the Seiko SNQ097.

I forgot this one. I wear this one only when I'm not drinking beer and smoking cigars. Certainly not for everybody, but the workmanship is superb, especially the leather strap. My only complaint is the writing on the 8 and 4. Down the right side of the 4 looks like it's missing paint. Actually, the word automatic is written top to bottom in such small letters I need a loupe to read it.

I love Panerai watches. I cannot afford a real one so I had a friend pick up a fake Marina while in China. I will post a pick when I get my camera cord back.

Jasonw560 · 08-01-2011, 09:54 PM

I'm really not a watch guy, but still feel so inadequate with my stainless Timex.

I had a Swiss Army Renegade, but the face came loose and the fluorescent paint came off the hands. Would cost as much to fix as to replace.

If I had my druthers, I would get either a Luminox or a Tag. Just like the looks of them.

Volusianator · 09-02-2011, 12:23 AM

This one was delivered to my house today. It's my first Invicta, I can see more in my future, LOVE this watch 10x more than I thought I would when I ordered it. No picture will do it justice.

Very unique styling. Kind of like a Corum and I don't know what, but cetainly sticks out. I did not know there were Invictas made in CH?

Spoke with the owner of the company a couple of years ago at the annual Vegas show, sounds like all Invictas are Swiss made.

Been buying them for a long time now, they take abuse like no other watch I had.
