Watches.

Ooh a B&M Classima! Lovely watch Gis. Something totally different from your Breitling(s?) and TW. Where you just after a classic dress watch?

Hey Col, i actually prefer the clean lines of a pure basic watch, i'll likely wear the B&M daily and leave the main Breitling in the display case, it's a bit expensive for daily wear.
I got that B&M for a steal on eBay, retail is $1,750 and i got it for $600, providing it is as described then i'll be truly happy.
I'm keeping an eye on a similar but much older B&M that's currently at $80 to use as my work watch, that'll free up the other Breitling (current work watch) to get it serviced and the strap professionally cleaned

Ah alrighty. Cool. That's interesting as your other watches are more sports watches and chronographs if ye ken fit I mean so thought the B&M was a departure. That's a cracking price on it tho! Good work! :thumbs up:

Oooh they are lurvly. I've always loved the Heuer Autavia like the CY2110.TX3480 meself! :drools:

Nice TAG, would love one for my collection one day. Last time I added anything to it was my TISSOT in 2009 :frown:

TAG Carrera.......lovely :yes nod:

I've never really been fond of Fossil, but that looks the dogs dangly bits :thumbs up:

Just saw this thread, I love watches LOL

The pride of my collection is my Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angel edition in TITANIUM

I have a few replica Omegas (which are actually so good they have fooled an omega dealer AND I have dived with both watches too)

One is a Seamaster Planet Ocean Multi face, the other is the Seamaster Quantum of Solace special edition with the pistol grip face.

I also have a reasonably good copy of a TAG grand carrera (Brad Pitt Edition) and a Tag RS2 special edition in black with red detail and white face.

I also have a couple of Animal watches somewhere as well.

I'm on the lookout for a nice Tag F1 next I think, a real one this time not a copy but to be honest my Titanium Citizen is never really off my wrist these days and all the otehr watches are just on my bedside table LOL

I love both the Mondaines and the Nomos watches as they're so clean.

That TAG looks like a Chopard Mille Miglia on that strap Big Gordo! Cool.:cool:

The fossil sub dials have rather a Mickey Mouse look to them. :D

It does a wee bit. But you can't beat a Chopard Mille Miglia for looking like a Chopard Mille Miglia.;)

I've actually been thinking of selling this recently, but I think Lenore has managed to talk me out of it.... for now.

Nice one :thumbs up:

One feature of my one is that it moves from 12 to 12 in 58 seconds and sits for 2 seconds to wait for the minute hand to move forwards, allegedly to advise the train driver to move at the correct time

Erm, pretty sure the Skyfall watch has the 8500 movement visible through the case back, my watch is registered 2010 and has the solid back with the 2500 movement

VERY nice Alan, I would really love to get myself an Omega, either one of these or an Aqua Terra, something that I can leave Nathan as an heirloom once I'm gone, same as the Omega I got from my mum after my dad died and he died aged 46 and he got the watch from his folks as a 21st birthday present, and I would REALLY like to do the same for Nathan once I've gone or give to him on his 21st.

Cheers Andy, yeah I have always loved G-shocks but have only recently started collecting them instead of just having a single version since there is a vast array of version out there and they are amazing watches and tough as!! :smilewinkgrin:

My next sights are on trying to get an Omega as mentioned above :thumbs up: fingers crossed one day.

I bow to your superior knowledge mate. Whatever movement is inside, it looks lovely from the outside.:cool:

I must admit though, these days when I'm looking at watches, I've found myself holding the watch up to my ear and closing off my other ear to stop other sounds, just so I can hear the "tick". Love that sound in an automatic watch.;)

Having tried various others, have settled on these two.....

Longines for everyday use..

http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/...psce1dcb52.jpg

and a plastic one when Longines not suitable...glows like a B****** in the dark...

Ah, welcome to the obsession club :thumbs up:

My latest extravagance... A £35 Casio. Been wearing my Tag Heuer for tennis and I'm just waiting on a fall to break it. The Casio will do the job nicely.

Not yet, Ive still to go and have a look at them. Think ill be going on my day off next week.

I'm looking at watch boxes too seeing as I added another 3 watches (2 Fossils and a Casio Edifice) to my collection over the last couple of months :smilewinkgrin:
Some nice carbon fibre ones on offer but they are a bit pricey....!!

I'd not bothered about watches for years until I saw Davy's Dario Franchitti TW steel watch.
It's gorgeous.
I couldn't really afford that kind of money so I bought a LE Casio G-Shock last year. The temptation was too great though and I bought two TW Steel watches in the space of a week last July.
If I get time (see what I did there) I'll post a few pics of 'em later on tonight.

...to Infinity and beyond !!!

Stilling wanting to add my most desired watch but can't justify the price, Audemars Piquet Royal Oak Offshore.

Gordy, Google steam punk watch boxes, i got one and not expensive :thumbs up:

I got a TW Steel for sale if anyone interested, 834r model

Got a watch box for Christmas,but I think I need another one
