liquid360 Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Received this on my birthday a month ago. IWC Pilot Chronograph Le Petit Prince. Had to swap out the bands and put the deployment clasp on itSent from my SM-G955U using TapatalkI have a little prince tattoo. I’m a HUGE fan of Exupery. I’ll be buying one of those next.

Edward7 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I knew there would be a watch thread here haha. I wear one of two daily. Right now I have a black stainless Daytona 116520 from 2012 which keeps perfect time 6 years in. Well, maybe it sped up about 2 seconds/day since new. The other is a less robust/reliable and more delicate Audemars Piguet 26320 stainless steel with plain black dial. I truly wear them 50/50 which is a miracle considering my penchant for favoritism. My first nice watch was not one that watch snobs would revere, a Cartier Roadster Chronograph which I still keep and won’t sell. It just sits in the drawer, unwound and unloved but never forgotten. 3
El Presidente Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 When I travel for a few weeks I like to take a few watches (mix of Dress and Dive). This looks to be a good (if expensive ) solution 2

No, dude works for both men/women. It’s unisex now. The real thing you dudettes got wrong is - it's a toad, not a frog 1

Have my eyes on my next watch, Rolex. Hmmm or maybe Omega. My brother has made his obsession mine too. Perhaps it is genetic? Will be watch number four. CB
BrightonCorgi Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I'll wear whichever watch is wound or my quartz Omega which is always ready to wear... I'd like to buy a watch winder some day. What are some good brands for 4-6 watches that don't cost a banker's mint? 1

You can get them barebones or with some options. 2

Happy with the winder and service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3

Overstock.com has good pricing on Wolf. Bought mine there. 2
Fuzz Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I have an XTELARY 4+6 watch winder, that I bought off eBay. Haven't had a problem with it, though, I have only one gripe. My old one had a little handle on the lid for opening, but the new one doesn't, so I have to use two hands to open the lid. I was told by somebody that I should put it on a timer to reduce the total amount of turns per day (mine is currently set for 180 minutes for every 10 minutes of bi-directional rotation), but I never did that for my previous watch winder, and I had no problems previously. Supposedly, my Omega Aqua Terra needs a minimum of 650 TPD to get from 0 to 100% (if the watch is being wound non-stop in the vertical plane). With 6-8 turns per minute, there would be approximately 480-640 turns per day, on my current setting. Edit: Actually, there is one more gripe. The cushions you put your watch on are bloody small! I don't have a large wrist, but I still have to pack out the back of the cushion so the watch stays on. Don't know why they changed the holder design, as the older models used a bigger, softer cushion to strap your watch to. 3

Popular Post canadianbeaver Posted September 10, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 10, 2018 Time to bring this one back to the front. Mr. Beaver is the one! Been one of those years. Surgery, wedding, etc, etc. And my birthday in a couple of weeks. Saw lots in NYC but chose to buy in Canada. She’s a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Just, with diamonds and white gold around the face. Stainless band. But that face is interchangeable with others? News to me! 7

jlb Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Beautiful watches. I tend to wear my G-Shock watches most of the time because of work. I own some others that really don't get a ton of wrist time, but I do love them. Mostly a few Citizens tho.
inter4alia Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Never owned one but have always wanted a Martin Braun EOS in stainless. 1
Popular Post RDB Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 15, 2018 Here’s a 1970s Grand Seiko. Love these Japanese mechanical watches of the 60s and 70s. They were making a point... 8
Islandboy Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Anyone familiar with this? Found it going through a box of stuff I hadn’t seen in years. It was my dad’s, but I’ve never been one to wear a watch...so into the box it went.

It was my dad’s, but I’ve never been one to wear a watch...so into the box it went. That’s a nice little Swiss automatic right there. I believe this Seastar is circa 1970. Fun shape case with a nice date window at the three. The movement is cal 2481. It’s a great watch to wear around and think of your dad, but from a dollar standpoint I think excellent examples go for around $500.
