[swooc]

[Happy Hooligan]

thanks, yes it's a Pepsi Dial.

Super: which watch did you lose? I'd be sick if I lost a watch...

[superhero]

nah i lost my seiko watch:

was $800, wasn't cheap but wasn't too expensive. still fucking cut though.

[M4TM]

^^ ouch. sorry to hear that man. that sucks.

note to self - never take off watch on public transport...

[koi]

This watch looks decent, can anyone identify it?

[WhoKnewI]

This thing is beautiful. Would love to own this watch.

got a new watch today!

It's my stepdads 1971 Seiko 6139-6002. He bought it in Japan on Leave during is Tour in Vietnam.

Sorry for your loss

If' you're still into seikos you could get a nice SARB035 / 33 for half the price

Pics can't do it justice. I love mine

Speaking of public transport and watches,

I smashed the face of my Swiss Army on a pole while on the bus back in high school because the bus driver decided to slam the brakes.

Funny, because it was from the line of their "active" watches. I didn't even hit the pole that hard. Anyway, this reminds me that I should get it fixed

Nice twist to the vantage. I would've scooped that watch instantly if I hadn't just purchased a speedbird. Damn.

Decided to go with the sea dweller

[WhoKnewI]

Have any of you guys dealt with westcoastime recently. I ordered some straps more than two weeks ago and I still haven't gotten them. I emailed the guy twice and no reply. I'm thinking of just filing a paypal claim.

[Anemone]

So my dad has been restoring vintage watches in his free time for years... Long story short, I will be the new owner of a vintage Omega Seamaster very soon.

[dunkin deeznuts]

damn that seamaster is sexyazzfck

[bryanayrb]

got a cheap homage to rotate with my black mako. looks like the lovechild of an iwc 3714 and a seagull m163s. apparently has a seagull st2500 movement. surprisingly accurate so far for a homage. mini seconds hand on the open heart is weird (mine are lined up correctly though.. thank god) and the date is on some chibi shit but the power reserve works good and for $70 i'm not really in a position to complain.

sorry for the peasant interruption. that seamaster is the most.

[dismalfuture]

For $70? That looks great. I'd get a navy croc band for it, like the 3714-17

I actually tried a 3714 on today for the first time, I have like 5.5" wrists and I still think I could swing the Portuguese now. It'd look big but doable, so back on my short list.

I am getting a JLC Master Control on Friday.

that's a bithc, but you can get it back for half the price; http://cgi.ebay.ca/SEIKO-PREMIER-KINETIC-DIRECT-DRIVE-SAPPHIRE-SRG001P2-/110637606678?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19c283e716

[DaBestSpoona]

thats like an awesome mashup of bootleg watch parts. I'd rock that every day.

navy croc sounds good. the 3714 has the same curved lugs as my homage (& 42mm as well?) and my wrists are about the same size as yours.. there's a little smidge of overhang but it's not really noticeable (doubt anyone that ever looks at your watch will ever mention it anyway)

[Gecko]

Yeah that's really cool, where'd you pick it up?

[CBreaze]

Both watches I own were given to me by my father.

Seiko Chronograph Sport 150 and Movado Elliptica

PICS:

New Years Resolution: no nato straps!

Need to grab a rubber dive strap for the sub.

[M4TM]

New Years Resolution: no nato straps!

you sure about that resolution?

http://blog.leffot.com/2011/01/25/nato-straps/

i want one...

[dismalfuture]

^ I need to cop... but $225.. T.T

[ericdw]

man, i wish they made those in nato instead of zulu.

[wild style]

I don't get why everybody is beasting over those. I have a feeling they'll look real stupid when worn. Some of my nylon straps barely sit flat, so I don't know about leather man.

+1. Plus the beauty of a nato strap is that you sweat, it gets smelly, you wash it and it's good again.
