Wristwatch collectors out there? - Page 65

Had one very similar to this for years. Probably my longest lasting watch. Had it for more than 10 years and gave it to my son.

But don't get your hopes up. It is about $17k

It hurts my head just looking at it

BHalbrooks · 09-11-2012, 08:43 PM

Even watching it change minutes is enough to draw my attention for hours.

Devon tread is insane movement!

One final pic that's at least semi related to the purpose of the board

Love that watch! My everyday wearer is a Breitling SuperOcean with a black face. That yellow sure looks cool!

Here's a pic:

Maybe the best looking watch I own, a Seiko Honda F1 with carbon fiber face:

elderboy02 · 11-23-2012, 01:01 AM

Very nice!

Everyday wear is an $80 Timex. The ONLY cool thing about this watch is the orange face. I own a Submariner that I bought in 1982-it's been with me thru thick And thin. It's promised to my son when he graduates next May, so I don't wear it much anymore. I'm looking for a diver style watch with an orange face. I've been looking at the Seiko Orange Monster. Does anyone know of a better alternative in the same general price range? Thank you.

I don't think you could go wrong with an Orange Monster! I sure would like to get one someday.

They make a Mini-monster (or Neo as in new), of which I own, for a reasonable price. Still has the orange face, just not rated to as much depth.

This is my daily wearer... Victorianox Basecamp... Comes with a LIFETIME warranty. I have had a few minor issues here and there, ship it to Switzerland and they ship it back in 2 weeks... has paid for itself 1000x over...

Mine is actually the model that came before this one... Black face with red and white accents... I think it looks better then this subdued stainless face
