Some of those designs are crazy. I like mine a bit more basic and old skool...

I like when you look at your watch, and can you easily see what time it is...

If you can do this for under $25, then that's a winner in my book!

Under $15... even better!

Which model Breitling is this? Is that a black case or just the way the lighting looks?

:thumbsup

A couple I like:

The Franck Muller crazy hours movement actually jumps around the watch to tell proper time even though the numbers are out of order.

Hublot makes some badass versions of the big bang too...

Watches have become a status thing, that speaks, I work at Walmart

i'm fapping to this thread

Been in the watch business for years... starting a new site very soon as well :)

Wearing an AP ROO Las Vegas Strip at the moment :)

Rolex , Muller , Piquet its all nice but you forgot the KING of the watch (for many reasons btw ) http://www.breguet.com/

Lol maybe if you look at their history... but it's not really the same company now that it was back in the day...

I'd say that honor goes to Patek :thumbsup

Well I don't want to argue here Philippe Patek is very very reputable company but its really not the same - its the first league for sure so its Piquet , so its vacheron constantin but Brequet is true king of watch production for its innovations - true pioneer (calendar , saphir glass covers etc etc )
Rolex produce about 1500 watches daily - brequet produce 3000 per year

Saw some of their watches, very cool, love the Gran Prix

Cell phone watch

Everyone I have ever asked about their rolex says they keep shitty time. I see watches in this thread I would much rather have

By far my favorite line of watches... I've been around EVERYTHING for years, and hands done the only series of watch I'll wear :thumbsup

Rolex is not the first league :pimp - but there is some move of this company we have to respect - Frank Muller is a "student" of Rolex watch manufacturing school so they brough this guys to the world's stage and this guy has some cool shit in his store:pimp

I saw a big clock in Prague that I was told they killed the guy who built it after he got it running so he couldn't make another? Wild looking clock. Just always loved time pieces, I use to wear thte first Eco Drive that Citizen put out. It was a titanium watch where the face plate was a solar panel, no worries aboput the battery. But after 7 years, it died and they wanted $300 to fix it

Actually its astronomical clocks - not just time but also the possition of the sun and planets and so.
The constructor was Mikolas z Kadane and he made it in 1410.The myth says that they ripped his eyes out to protect the "copyright" but its not verified fact.
Its really 1 of the best sighseing in Prague.
When I got Keith and Justin from screamingO here it was the first thing to see.Also Chris + his family from fleshlight were very very impressed - US people love that it seems

haha, i suppose thats right lol

I was there when it hit 3 pm, the movement was pretty cool

the last year some asshole from Holland climbed up and broke the hand of the 1 puppet - had no idea what he's done. The damage is not possible to express in money

It's the Bentley edition. It's silver, contrast was too high on the photo.

asshats like that should be shot. but then again, what I did in Japan in KamaKura, but I didn't break anything!!!!!

I got hooked on mechanical watches around a year ago... it's addictive if you like the complexity of making something so small do so many things without an actual battery...

My most favorite watches in my collection:

1) I am a Jaeger Le Coultre fan, have 3 right now:
a) Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire (limited edition)
http://www.montreshorlogerie.com/tl_...Lunaire-01.jpg
Special thing here is two seperate barrels powering the escapement and the movement itself, meaning the escapement does not get affected by movements power drain and runs smoother

b) Master Compressor Extreme World Cronograph
http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/sihh...onograph_1.jpg
Liked the look of the watch, and it has a neat (albeit simple) world time feature around the bezel.

c) Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Perpetual
http://www.prestigetime.com/images/watches/q500649a.jpg
A perpetual calendar (which means it displays the correct date and day of week and leap year, without having to reset the watch since it knows which months have how many days) with a flying tourbillon.

2) I do not like the gold in rolex watches, so I have a very simple rolex. The simplest that exist, a Rolex Explorer
http://www.trustedwatch.com/cms/imag...wechselbar.jpg

3) Patek Philippe, as mentioned before, is one of the most prestigious and oldest companies in mechanical watches. They pioneered things like the perpetual calendars, and the minute repeater. Who better to get a perpetual calendar from?
http://www.haroldfreemanjewelers.com...9_7-703346.jpg
This is one of the very few perpetual's they sell that actually does not come with a flying tourbillon and a minute repeater built in too.

4) Newest piece in my collection, is a Panerai Luminor 1950 Titanium Tourbillon GMT.
http://bp3.blogger.com/_UTeQhQcvdNU/...400/pam306.jpg
Very simple looking from the front. Dual timezone. Manual, not automatic. But with a nice twist, on the back, the escapement rotates horizontally around its axis, instead of rotating the axis itself as in normal flying tourbillons.
http://bp1.blogger.com/_UTeQhQcvdNU/...s400/306-t.jpg
6 days power reserve, via Panerai's standard 3-barrel-system.

This is it for now.. still many watches I am trying to get, but need to do so slowly and most are hard to find.

well finaly somebody - very good taste + U know your shit man - nice stuff:thumbsup

If money was no issue.

I dig Panerai watches. Solid watch.

Watches
 

Used to work at the world's largest hologram store. Everybody who came in, we showed them a hologram watch. (full on you see the hologram, tilt it slightly, see the time). Sold about a 1:10 ratio. Watches were $10 to $150. Watch commissions alone covered all my bills.

Wondered when you would chime in :thumbsup

forget the watch, pay off your mortgage first and ask a loser who wears one for the time

GF owns 3 houses outright and a 4th has payments on it and is helping me pay off mine, she's buying me a watch!

I agree. I buy a watch to tell time - not to extend my dick size. I like the little hand pointing at the hour, the big hand aimed at the minute. I don't even need a second hand.

Actually, I don't even wear a watch anymore. I can walk down the street and look in any storefront and get the time - or just look at my phone.

The time is free - watches are unnecessary.

I saw this quote in the Big Book o' Things People Who Don't Have Rolexes Say.
