lets talk watches

[travisio]

personally i like the smaller one. i just like that aesthetic though, the xl just looks like a normal (albeit very nice) rectangular watch to me. imo you can't go wrong with either.

[Harry Hood]

wow that looks great. i would go with the smaller l as well

[igotwmds]

ha, great to see some cartier enthusiasts around here...

on my side, thinking to cop this one very soon... its going to be my first (real) watch if i am not afraid to pull the trigger on it !

the iwc i like (the top gun) is likely to be above my price range, and i might also be tempted by a panerai or a rolex milgauss (though even this model is not the most popular one, its still cliché to have a rolex...)

anyone can recommend a super oyster that fits the SKX031? The few ones I found never fit

thanks but despite the title it doesn't fit the SKX031 !

[Fycus]

What about this one?

That seller supposedly has one for the 031, im not sure what details to look for but you might be able to find it.

I love the Cartier tank and I'm really interested in buying the solo. I am deciding between the XL (left) or L (right).

The XL is automatic and has a date function (L has neither) but I feel that the L looks better on my wrist.

The XL suits your wrist better. Though personally I'd pick the smaller one.

I like the XL better.

Here's my new Elgin.   Found it at an estate sale last week.  It looked pretty bad as the crystal was all cracked and spiderwebed and no band.   Bought a new crystal and band and off it went.  Looks like I just bought it from the store.  It's an automatic and I like to watch that red arrow second hand sweep around it.  I think it's a late 50's early 60's model.

Since I do like clean looking watches but I don´t have the cash to buy myself that nice Junghans x Max Bill joint I got this:

 

 

 

 

 

It goes with everything and I wear it everyday.

My wife surprised me with a watch for my birthday this year.  

 

Explorer I .  Im a very lucky guy (then again I knew that way before the watch)

 

[wahwho11]

^it's a pleasant reminder, though

[kiya]

Congrats, thats an awesome gift.

[caraja]

is this skagen ok for a starter watch or should I just get that braun a few posts above me?

I'd get that Braun, personally.

 

If I wasn't allergic to Quartz, I'd get a Timex watch. Old man/trad sensibility.

I got a Seiko Sarb033 a while ago and really like it:

 

 

Looking (and saving up) for a Chronometer now. What do you guys think about a Moonwatch co-axial?

 

 

Edited June 5, 2013 by digitalmountain

[zachinthebox]

I prefer the styling of the traditional 3 sub-dial SMP. Not to mention the co-axial speedmasters are all 44.25mm, which is stupid large. 

[digitalmountain]

Thanks for the feedback. It didn't even realize it was 44,25, it didn't seem so big when I tried it. 

[wrong_move]

 

anybody got info on the band? looking to get that style on my orient if that's even possible

[roundhouse]

Any recs for a watch that is digital, and has a timer and a light, and is not bulky either?

Basically i want a replacement for this:

if nothing suits the bill, ill have to go for the silver version... sigh

[Cheweh]

any suggestions for leather watch straps? all the ones I buy tend to fall apart after a few months of regular use.

i think that's an awesome watch.

[Romano_yeah]

I got this watch from my girl, it´s great for wearing all black everything and it won´t drain your bank account.

yeah its good, i wouldn't change anything on it. but my fancy self wants something a bit more upmarket than plastic. 

not aware of the lore though; googled it and it came up with terrorist bombs.

 Besides Kent Wang, I recommend Hirsch.
