Wrist watches

I wouldn't be comfortable wearing a $1K+ watch all the time, nor do I see the need. But to each their own.:)

I've got a Swiss Army watch, I don't even know the model name. Got it for my birthday about 10-12 years ago, works for both casual and formal settings, and I only take it off to shower or swim. (Though it can handle either, actually.) I think it cost somewhere in the $200-$300 range, still looks and works great.
 
I have a Glycine Airman 7 that is like brand new. It's 52mm in diameter and has 3 separate automatic movements, providing 4 time zones. I'm probably going to sell it at some point ASAP and buy a nice bass with the funds :)

My favorite everyday watch is a UTS. It's German made, manual wind and built like a tank.

I also have a Doxa dive watch and an Omega beater :)

You have some good taste in watches.

Mind you I got mine before the movie :p I really love it, my favourite watch (and only watch!).
 
Nice watches you have! I wear Glycines as well, Airman 46mm purist and D-24. Good luck selling your Airman 7. That's a nice one.

Saving up for a Doxa gmt and a panerai...

Thanks but I just wheel and deal for what I think is cool and a good deal on our knife and gun forum. Lots of watch sales and trades there!! I've had a few other nice ones but traded or sold them. The UTS is staying. I love the black PVD coating and it's very visible at night.

I also have a Fortis and an OLD gold Rolex. I think it's an oyester perpetual, no date. It's too small and looks like womans watch on my wrist. I've had it for years and forgot how I ended up with it :confused:

Thanks!

They raised the price on the Airman 7's. I'm hoping that will help the sale of mine. It's a cool watch but I just never wear it. I have an Incursor also.
I'd love to have a Pammy on a two tone bracelet. I like the one that looks like a model 91 or 93 but with the power reserve. That's a COOL watch!!
 
Very nice watch!! I haven't been following the watch forums and sites lately. I don't need watch gas :)

That site sells the Airman 7 for over 4K. I'd be happy to get half that for mine. I'd put it towards a NYC Sadowsky :)

Yeah - Felix the owner, lists most of the watches at MSRP - but he does offer discounts. I certainly did not pay retail for mine. Great watch repair shop too.
