lets talk watches

[kwiteaboy]

A C-case Constellation fits the bill perfectly:

I wear one with dauphine hands, but otherwise it's one of the most evocative designs from the 60s.

^ Too bad it's still not peasant priced

[kwiteaboy]

I got mine for around $400. What's the upper limit for peasants?

Edit: Here's a shitty pic of my watch:

[redX]

[funkdoobi]

newish seiko / mini monster SNZF45

I like it.

[asher_roslynn]

Love that Seiko. I wish their primary movements featured a hacking element though

[ninetynine]

Someone wanna give me recommendations for a blingy looking watch to match my goth wigger jewelry?

< $200 would be nice

[lemmywinks]

Blingy as in shiny diamonds or kind big and obnoxious?

The Citizen EcoZilla is huge!

and also looks like shit. most of citizen's watches are just plain ol' bad.

[redX]

well since it was only about 120$ all in all it's not that expensive of a watch

it was just annoying that there was some problem with my shipping adress (my fault) and he had to send it again. for whatever reason that took almost 5 weeks. it wasn't stuck in customs or w/e :confused:

Anyone know where to find a Sinn 656 with black case/face? I can't find one in the US...

[ericdw]

I did a lot of research on this a few months ago and concluded that it was basically impossible. The US retailers no longer carry them because the black PVD wears off. They're waiting for a tegiment model to come out, which apparently is in the works. they also wouldn't help me get one through an authorized dealer in the EU that had it in stock. I was about to proxy it, but DDML saved the day and sold me his. Good luck.

[Pavlov's Bell]

Any places in NYC where you can get a slight deal (5-10% off retail) on a new rolex sub?

[-dustin]

After debating on the watch, I ended up ordering a Planet Ocean on Tuesday. Thursday came around and my account hadn't been charged. Called the guy at Feldmar (friend of a friend) and he said it was being processed. So last Friday it ships. Told him I wanted it before this Thursday (leaving for a trip). Scheduled to arrive Tuesday. Perfect. He sends me an email today telling him to call. So I call him....

The FedEx truck that my watch was on was robbed. 3 packages were stolen, 1 being my watch.

did that... my wife took it and had it cleaned inside and out for my birthday

[lacsap]

you guys have awesome watches.

here are two of mine.

a lot of people seem to hate the swatch, just for the fact that it is a cheap automatic and that it is a swatch. i love it, what are your thoughts?

Odd.. I kind of like the way it looks when it starts to fade/chip off.

I've seen a few sell on eBay, I just wanted to buy one new. Thanks for your help though.

Forgive my shitty cellphone picture and my hairy ape arm. My new Seiko 007 with custom dial and new hands. Put it on the jubilee rather than the admittedly nice rubber strap it came on, I'm more of a bracelet kind of guy. Really happy with it, might get a black chapter ring though.

[dunkin deeznuts]

dont bracelets catch on to all your hair and pull em out...

glad i'm not hairy...azncncpt........

[pompadork]

Kind of want something like that Sinn 756. Currently wearing a Seiko SRP027, which is also similar. Anything in between the two in terms of price?

The 756S is pretty unique, with the black case and everything, and it's a pretty hefty watch; you could look at Fortis watches, which are cheaper than Sinns and they make some blacked out watches with ETA and Valjoux movements. They're all about $1000 i think. They have a black watch that looks kinda similar to the IWC Top Gun, stock ETA movement.

edit: nm, I had no idea some of these Fortis models got so expensive, they're priced like IWCs. Some are cheap though.

Beautiful vintage white-gold Vacheron.

Sorry for crappy pics

[chim]

that VC is completely baller status

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Pompadork. Look at a seiko 6138-8020 for a classic up down chronograph. I'd stay around 180 for a serviced one.

[ericdw]

cwc also probably makes a 12/6 chrono
