Any watch collectors here?

They made one automatic that I really liked but they were asking way too much in my opinion. It used a budget movement and they were asking more than a Baume or a Armand.

 

Thanks man. My wife has pretty good taste. She got me this one for Christmas a few years back.

 

I definitely like it. I think I sweat too much for leather bands.

 

You and I both

 

I want to be part of this sweet watch club. Here's mine

 

yeah that’s not good.

 

That's a nice looking piece. You definitely get your money's worth with a Fossil. I live close to the Williamsburg Outlets that have the Fossil, Movado, and Seiko outlet stores in the same building. These are a gold mine for you can get some incredible deals there. I found a rare find Concord in the Movado outlet and they were blowing it out at 90% off.

 

Damn!! That's awesome!! Its nice when Fossil sends the 40% off deals in my email. It's almost a guaranty purchase. It's rare I get them anymore.

 

Today's piece.

 

That's one thing I like about the Fossil brand is the oversized faces. Looks good!

 

Have you guys checked out JomaSop.com I’m not advertising- but they have great prices on watches.

 

They do have some great deals. Have you purchased from them before? I’m wondering how good their service is.

 

I haven’t purchased from them - I have to do more research- but the numbers look awesome

 

Jonashop is one of the "Grey Market" vendors. Ashford.com is another big grey market vendor. Classified as grey market because they buy large inventories of multiple brands, however they are not an authorized dealer for the brands. So, the manufacture warranty is void. Personally, I prefer Ashford and have had no issues with the transactions I've done with them.

 

My Tag Aquaracer, going on 10 years old and it rarely leaves my wrist.

 

I got my G-Shock from them a few year ago. Price was good since the worthless Canadian peso was actually on par with the US Freedom Dollar at the time, shipping was quick and reasonably priced considering it was coming up to butt fuck nowhere. I really like my G Shock.

 

I picked up a couple of Shinola's...

...here's my Hamilton... super thin.



Tag...




and a great Luminox

 

The Hamilton and Tag are the business!

 

Hey thanks! They all get worn depending on the situation. I have a Gear S3 also, but I prefer the mechanical wonder of these instead.

 

Been planning to pick up a Luminox at some point. You like it?

 

Definitely... I've had that one for over 20 years. Had the bezel replaced once after I dropped it on a tile floor. Otherwise it's been rock solid and the illumination is awesome. I'm not a cop or military, but people always ask if I am when I'm wearing that one.

 

I get that question with my Wenger.

 

my grandparents gave me this...



i usually only wear it when i've got a monkey suit on.

i am looking for a good outdoors ABC watch. with all the time i spend out there, it's something i've never invested in but should. right now, i'm considering a suunto core, casio pathfinder, casio protrek or a casio g-shock mudmaster. any recommendations?

 

I got my Seamaster PO grey market from jomashop. Very good costumer service. Would buy from again.

 

Luminox has been my go to for a while.

Not cheap by any means but not a Rolex either.

Currently have a 3051 blackout that is going on 7 years.

This is my next one:

Wore one of my Seiko's today and it's saying it's quitting time

 

For all u collectors when ordeing online how do i know im getting a big watch? Im a big guy so dont want a tiny piece on my wrist. Sorry for the question but i dont know much bout watches

 

Most will advertise a "case width". An average width is about 40 to 43 mm. IMO anything less than 40 mm looks small. I personally look for about 44 and up mm for I like larger faces. Also this should be without the crown (the pertrusing points that the band fastenes to). Some will advertise the width with crown but this is not.a true reflection of the size.

 

Look for case diameter and thickness. "normal" is 38mm - 42mm, but I prefer a watch on the larger side 43mm - 45mm. Also pay attention to case thickness as this will affect the ability to fit under a shirt cuff. My 16mm thick Planet Ocean is on the thick side.

 

@BayRunner and @Hoologan thanks for the info
