Wristwatch collectors out there?

JJG · 09-23-2009, 01:07 PM

I've been wearing the same watch for 10 years now but I still think it's pretty cool. Raymond Weil W1. I think for my next one though I want something a little less chunky and more comfortable.

BE CAREFUL. You can slide down the slope just as fast as with cigars

I really like this watch and I do not own it. It's only a dream.

I currently own a Doxa Searambler.....I love dive watches and I have been through 30+ watches in the last 2 years (I flip). My favorites have been the Rolex Submariner, my 5 Doxas, Sinn U1, Ball Madcow, and the Longines Hydroconquest (great bang for the buck only about $900 new). Watches will drain your wallet quick!

OH MY!!

TWO Daytona's!! That's nuts man.

Watches are my second hobby. I even make straps for various ones. My favorite (right now) everyday wearer is the Omega Planet Ocean.

Those are Folex's. My wife bought them for me, as a joke, on the mean streets of NYC. The silver one died and I keep the gold one incase I need some bling for a costume.

Oh... I kind of thought that, but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. That blue subdial Daytona would easily be 30k if it was real.

Is the Omega Seamaster also a replica? That watch is a very nice. I had one at one time, but then went with the larger Planet Ocean.

Not a big collector but this is my daily watch.

Omega Seamaster Automatic bought new in 2001. Only loses about 30 seconds a month and has yet to be opened up or serviced.

Time to get it serviced! The bill can rise if you let it go too long. Omega makes a nice watch.
