Nice minimalist piece there :)wouldnt ask for anything more. Though i did just notice i need to get the battery changed.
mines titanium :PNice minimalist piece there :)
Yup, the Skagen watches are badass. Take a look at some of the vintage ones, some of the stainless steel models are lovely!
Wow rayuki, that's an awesome piece. I can tell you know your watches.
I really love Fossil watches - great aesthetic at a super affordable price point. I've got a couple but my current daily and favourite is the DE-5009 (not my photos):Show Image(http://ceasuridemana.ro/pictures/2012/02/19/fossil_338195.jpg)Show Image(http://images5.okr.ro/auctions.v3/700_700/2012/02/18/4/a/678447955306802929234415-2045185-700_700.jpg)
You collection is stunning Rayuki!
Anyway, I've decided on my 3rd watch for my collection, a 1963 Seagull Air Force recommended by Stonesturd on BT. It's a wonderfully priced mechanical watch and is an absolute beaut!

oooh nice i love that band! and a very stunning face. looks like a fantastic buy for that price as well!
I really want a Rolex Yacht Master II someday, but in the mean time... I hope my parents will get me a nice Citizen Eco-Drive for graduation.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd wish for the Submariner or Yacht Master.
All my watches have been gifts. I have a Rolex and Seiko and most recently recieved a Daniel Wellington watch which has been my day to day watch lately :)
As much as I like minimalist watches, there are a lot of times I need a chronograph, so I'm going to have to get one. And the seagull 1963 looks perfect as the face is still very minimal.

Just one warning about mechanical chronos: the cost of servicing can be unpleasantly high - and the recommended interval for a watch worn every day is usually about 4 years (although you certainly can get away with more.) Try to check what the typical service cost is for watch you choose - I've known some people who bought lower priced models that cost something like 50% of the cost of purchase to have serviced.

Well, the movement is a copy of a Venus 175. Yep, that one used in the mega expensive old Breitlings. :/
It's easy enough to get serviced but repairing may be a bit of a nightmare.
Thats pretty good.
I passed the opportunity to pick up the JLC i posted above, when I was trying it on.
I think I'll take a few year hiatus on watches and come back and look at Pateks.
That's an awesome looking watch Tatical!

I wear an old Poljot, I got for cheap back home. I would like to eventualy own a 24 hour face Breitling.
wearing the $10 wonderwatch today. doesn't look 'nice' but it sure doesn't look tacky :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/YeHKx7E.jpg)
What kind of Casio is that? Wonderwatch doesn't produce results.
yeah you can also buy it for 3x the price at urban outfitters or american apparel :))
Sounds worth it to me. And is it not really hipsterish until I overpay? Or is it supposed to be cheap?yeah you can also buy it for 3x the price at urban outfitters or american apparel :))
yeah but then you get to be served by some super cool hipster.

I just realized that I don't think I'd ever want to spend thousands on a watch. Like, what if I scratch it? I would be devastated...
Different. A keyboard is something I put my hands on all day, so I would expect it to take some damage. But a watch? All it does it sit pretty on your wrist...
never understood why people would want breitling watches

Ha, watches haven't done that in years. Have you ever looked at your watch to check the time, and look away, and realize you didn't even see what time it is? More often than not, it's easier to pull your phone out of your pocket. Or even more often, the dang thing is already in your hands!Different. A keyboard is something I put my hands on all day, so I would expect it to take some damage. But a watch? All it does it sit pretty on your wrist...And answer the most asked philosophical question of our time "What time *is* it?"

Huh, I usually wear a watch to tell the time when I'm out and about. I find it much easier to glance at my wrist to tell the time rather than getting my phone out of my pocket, especially if it's buried under one or more layers of clothing during winter.
I also don't have the non-processing issue often when I look at my watch, but the amount of times I've looked at my phone to check the time, don't actually process the information and then have to check again is baffling.
Supposedly, they come with a helicopter button.i'd rather buy a used mi-8 for the price of a breitling. too few lifts in russia; heli-skiing helps.

(Attachment Link)Nice box! I'm looking for one like that. Where did you get it? What are those green dots? stone? LED? :p
alessandro, do you really need a rolex?
alessandro, do you really need a rolex?
We could ask ourselves the same question about most things we buy.
Besides, it's not too expensive in comparison to other Rolex's, and it's being bought as a milestone birthday present/ last a lifetime piece.
Anyway, just be glad I'm not getting an iced out 18ct gold Daytona or DD President. ;)

I don't even think I can point towards one other thing that I've spent a similar amount of money on which gave me as much pleasure over time.
just got a raketa zero on ebay for 50 bucks. it might be a knockoff but as long as it tells time i'm not too worried about it.
here's my question... what do y'all think i should do about a band?Show Image(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Russian-soviet-RAKETA-ZERO-watch-bold-numbers-/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/$(KGrHqV,!p0FCydwG3OGBQ6(YJil-!~~60_35.JPG)

A cloth NATO band in black, or gray would look sweet

Thanks. As you might have suspected, I didn't know what a watch winder was. Very cool! I have a swatch collection but no automatic as of yet. I did buy one once, but it came with the wrong strap so I returned it >:((Attachment Link)Nice box! I'm looking for one like that. Where did you get it? What are those green dots? stone? LED? :p
It was actually a gift, so not sure. The green dots are leds. They are on when the winding is active. the knobs change the direction of the winding (or turn it off).
Here is a nice basic one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOP-QUALITY-QUAD-WATCH-WINDER-4-6-STORAGE-BOX-CASE-/330523173496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf4b76278 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOP-QUALITY-QUAD-WATCH-WINDER-4-6-STORAGE-BOX-CASE-/330523173496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf4b76278)

That looks cool, but i think it looks like you're wearing the nato strap the wrong way round?
Crap, now I have to put more thought into this... Well, I would like to wear it every day, but I can't guarantee that I'll remember to. But I think if it lasts a couple days, that is reasonable. Do they retain time well enough?
