Any watch collectors here?

My dad has a '63 Submariner he plans on leaving to me. He sent it to Rolex for a full rebuild and it ran him $6k. That was years ago.

 

Damn how have I missed this thread. I don’t collect but I luv to check out what everyone is rocking.

 

I have a 63 lol. That’s kinda crazy.

 

Is it the kind James Bond had?

 

My daily. Is a no date. Got it in 2017 before the craziness

 

No clue lol

 

I've got an old SWATCH.... just in case you were wondering.

 

That’s dope.

swatch and omega did a collaboration not long ago. Some fire stuff.

 

The Moonswatches look great but seem really expensive for a “cheap quartz watch”. You can get some pretty decent autos for $260

 

A new one for me....

Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium NO date.

I got lucky with the movement, it's sitting. At about +/- 1 sec a day for the past week.

 

I like those quite a bit

I was early bird on one of these, excited for a wandering hours automatic from Xeric

 

My other new one.

All my other are nothing near as fancy. These are about as high end as I ever plan to get (famous last words).

The newer Hamilton Scuba, 300m, no date, 43mm.

 

1908 Waltham pocket watch here. Keeps excellent time.

 

I have this Breitling Avenger II Seawolf for sale on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/325590424465). My price there is $3,250 but I'd let it go for less if I can avoid the ebay selling fees. I really like this watch, but I just don't wear it enough to keep it, and I have my eye on a Rolex Milgauss. Comes with box and papers, and was just had regular automatic watch service at Breitling in February.

Admin, please remove if not allowed...didn't want to post this on the sale forum since it's not really Tundra related.

 

You should be good to go posting in...

Thank you!

 

I just 'collected' an Apple Watch SE2 Cellular+GPS, but I'm fairly sure that's not the kind of watch this is referring to. LOL

 

Turned 40 about a year and a half ago, always told myself that’s when I’d splurge on a watch. Of course prices were way up of late, but finally settled on this Panerai 692. Was worried it may be too big at 47mm, fits just fine though.

 

Very nice! I'm partial to the PAM441 myself, however the for price there are plenty of other things I'd want first. I'm actually about to take ownership of my first wandering hours automatic watch, hopefully sometime in the next couple days

 

My Xeric Vendetta II showed up today. Custom wandering hours movement finished in gunmetal case with purple accents.

My initial impressions are high and the size is perfect for me. I was planning to swap out the band out for a leather one, however the silicone is actually really nice. So far so good

 

My 2005 Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean and 1995 Omega Seamaster 300M. The 300M is my Daily Driver...

 

My grandfather had two watches. If I had my pick, I would have choosen his daily which was a cool automatic without a face that you could watch the mechanism. Instead I got his Piaget dress watch that I rarely saw him wear.



If I am not at my desk or doing construction type work, I roll a GShock.



I'm really rough on rings and watches, so I rarely wear them.

 

Wow!
Holy shit I'm so glad I was pointed to this thread & I know now that I'm no longer alone with loving watches and that there's help!
Lol.
There are some beautiful crazy watches and thanks OP Warmachine for starting the thread.
These are my two favorite and take them when traveling.
I have a couple of Tag Heuer and a sweet Lumiox all of my others I have giving them to my Son.
First my my all around go to, and the second one I wear as much as possible and will be my Son's once I am gone,(well all will be his).

 

Hey Bob once you get into horology, its hard to get out of....check out timezone.com

 

Your killing me,that's all that I needed another time piece website...
Hahaha.
Oh I believe that I'm already a watch whore and trying my best to control it.lol!
I have already gave my Son over 8 watches that I know of and now he's got the bug,he has been buying watches that have been in his favorite movies that actors wore,not the actual one worn in the movie but those watches.
I was handed down a pocket watch from my Grandfather he received it as a retirement gift of 47 years of service from the Boston PD,it came in the original box with papers I gave this to my Son a few years back.
I will ask him to bring it next time he comes down.

I wish I had the life style to wear all of these watches and what they were intended for but have slowly come to terms and shown great restraint in buying more.
I think it's my appreciation of the craftsmanship and the elegance that goes into them.
I dunno maybe I'm just a whore for them

 

Cool to see this thread revived. Been wearing this one this week.

 

I'm glad you started it
Nice looking Tag!

 

Finally back home from 10 days to many away...
Any how, here are the others that I had mentioned earlier.
Hope yall like em.
