Wrist watches

[iamlowsound]

I love seikos too. My watch before this was a Seiko Titanium (lightest thing ever!). My dad instilled the love for them in me. My grandpa had a big Seiko collection because he was flying to Japan a lot with the Navy. They are fantastic watches for the prices.

I got into them because of my uncle (who is a watch smith and has a custom watch business). I was looking for a watch and he was selling a Seiko for cheap and told me that they were some of the most reliable watches that he has come across. He has probably $100,000 worth of watches, at least. Cheapest around $10,000 and all top of the line stuff. He knows what he is talking about. They also look nice and are cheapish.

Mine is a Steinhausen 1923 reissue. It's kinetic and entirely mechanical; it displays the time, date, month, and day of the week.

This thread has been giving me major watch GAS over the week.
I don't wear anything right now, but I need a Cartier watch with a grid and diamonds:

This is my everyday watch. It's a late 1960s Omega Seamaster De Ville, manual wind. It used to belong to my father until he gave it to me, so it's both sentimental and a great watch.

i can't find a picture of mine but i have a very simple understated peugeot watch with black leather arm band, chrome rim, numbers and hands and a black face.
i got it for christmas from my dad.

i just feel weird going out of the house without it, even though i always have a cell phone on me

I'm considering picking up an entrty-level Bulova Auto-Winding or Seiko Kinetic; does anyone have any experiences/thoughts about these in particular?

Bulova

Seiko 1

Seiko 2

Of the three, I'd pick "Seiko 1". Seiko makes a very nice watch and is a great value.

Yep. In-house movements, high quality, great prices.

I have an almost 20 year old Rolex I wear daily. It's a Submariner without a date function, which makes it kind of rare. It's stainless, and it's heavy. But I have become so used to the weight, that when it's not on my wrist, it feel weird.

One reason I wanted the Rolex is that I am tough on things, and I thought that this thing would last. And it has.

Excellent watch, but not rare at all. The first Subs were no-date and have been in continuous production. Current Rolex model# is 14060M.

I'm sure that's the safe, classic, sensible choice that would serve me well for years, but it's just not as sexy as the Bulova (can see the motion) or the other Seiko . . . why is this always the case. Dangit, all I'm looking for is a pron star with a college education who favors sensible shoes (metaphorically speaking, of course).

I have a Walmart $15 El Cheapo watch. It tells time as well as the big boys do, and if I bust it I won't be crying over it. I'd much rather spend my hard-earned cash on music gear anyways! But, as the old saying goes, to each his own.

Mine is a 12+ year old Casio with a barometer and altimeter (as well as the usual stopwatch and alarm). It also has a thermometer, but as data the temperature next to my wrist is mostly useless. I have to take the watch off and wait a very long time--sometimes it takes a couple hours to stabilize--to actually read the ambient temperature.

My biggest beef with it is that it runs fast by almost one second per day. Thus, I reset it to a reference every few days.

I'll see your $15 El Cheapo that needs replacing every 6-12 months and raise you my $60 Fossil that I've had six years and I'm just barely halfway through the warranty on. It seemed the best balance between cost and warranty, plus this watch takes three batteries and I get all three replaced for I think $9 every other year.

I wear a Citizen Blue Angels (Watch Details for Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T | Citizen Eco-Drive) or a Black Eagle (Watch Details for Black Eagle Skyhawk A-T | Citizen Eco-Drive).
