lets talk watches

[Ryan]

dunno if anyone cares but the alpha milsubs are on ebay for about $52 shipped..i think this is the extra stock they had after they closed shop

[sensible shoes]

Hey guys this is not my sale thread nor am I affiliated with the seller in any way, but if anyone was looking for a steinhart limited edition aviation model for a good price, voila.

this watch is gorgeous. i know nothing about it. is this a good price?

[Bash]

Beautiful watch. I've been looking for a watch that has a similar look to a bell & ross and seems this is as close as it's going to get. Not too familiar with steinharts. As poster asked before me...is it a good price?

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

Yes. $360 is a solid price. If it's not gone it would be a wise pickup.

[Bash]

thanks for the help WhoGotMeIntoThis

I'm curious where everyone's collections are, in terms of numbers? I'm not a collector of anything beyond music myself; couldn't see owning more than four total, even were cost no object.

Of course I'm interested where everyone's at, but esp those who are real collectors and the 4-5 figure everydaywatch enthusiasts...

Currently at 6 (well, 9, but really only 6):

1970 Breitling Datora chrono

Breitling Colt Superquartz

IWC 3713 Doppelchrono

Damasko DA35

Schafer chrono

Steinhart Ocean DLC

then a pair of Maharishi watches that I bought because I'm an idiot

And my old SS Tag F1 (1992) that I need to get refurbed.

Not planning on buying another watch this year, but I am going to get the Steinhart modded with sword hands, and I need to get the Datora relumed.

Currently Blancpain Flyback Chronograph as a daily.

I want to get a VC next.

Where are u getting the hands and where are u doing the mod. Ive been thinking of doing some mods to my DLC. Today, I saw a steinhart vintage red in the flesh. Gorgeous watch. A great value.

How to cope with leather strap that smells like sweat after a year of abuse??? Replace it ?

[arcanum]

^yes 10 chars

[dismalfuture]

ceramic sub and chronoswiss timemaster. getting a nato strap for the latter.

that Chronoswiss is gonna look pretty awkward on a nato. Anything that isn't a sports or post-war military style watch is gonna look awkward. The sub would look better on a nato, fwiw.

Going to send to Jay at Motor City WatchWorks: http://www.motorcitywatchworks.com/

I was thinking about MCWW too, but Jay doesn't seem to have sword hands up on his site for ETA movements. Was it a special order?

[Guest umhaha84]

looks ok

[ericdw]

saw that blog too. it's a shitty chinese repo of a shitty chinese original...

Haven't sent it off yet (getting my helmet painted for this year's racing season is more pressing) but Jay says he can fit Seiko hands to an ETA watch, for a small extra fee.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

eh, just landed a marathon sar-D with bracelet

haven't got it in my hands yet

but i've wanted a SAR for a minute

a little excited.

[WhoKnewI]

Put my steinhart on a camo nato. its the wrong size (need 22mm) but it looks great.

[reaper]

where to cawp camo nato strap plz?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

oof! i like that steinhart.

i was THIS close to picking up an Ocean 1 yesterday.

really smart looking piece.

[WhoKnewI]

Ye its great. I went through a number of straps before i settle don this camo nato. works really well imo. really great value for a great piece.

You can pick up a camo nato at westcoasttime. Beware, communication is spoty at best.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i've picked up maratac straps from him before

he also sells on eBay which may be a more hassle-free way of buying from him

[denimdestroyedmylife]

also, william gibson on wristwatches and eBhey (2001)

[dibango]

Want.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

christ. for a second, i thought you owned that one.

i have been obsessing over vintage mil watches.

the jlc mark 11, in particular.

gah!

[arya_triad]

does anyone knows what watch is this guy wearing in this picture?

it looks like a rolex 6538, but with sterile dial (?)

[denimdestroyedmylife]

maybe a seiko 007 with a modded dial?

[Guest umhaha84]
