Your Dream Watch

[GearSolidMetal]

I get what you're saying but a nice watch is the only jewelry acceptable for men IMO. And that's pretty much all they are now that everybody's got a clock on their phone.

*Do

*them.

My last post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but I just read it and it came off as bitter. My apologies.

Men do.

I believe you meant; Gay men do.

Who wears watches anymore?

People with wrists.

Old school is the best school.

I've been seriously eyeballing a black no date submariner lately. As ridiculous as it sounds, I'm torn between an older two liner model or a new four liner. The newer models have a ceramic bezel and are more durable - so Im told - but the older two liners just look better.

How old of a two liner are you considering? Are we talking gilt dial here? I tend to like how the vintage subs look but I'll never been a position to pick and choose. Lol.

Vintage Pepsi GMT's are so cool. The coloration of the bezels change and each one is different. I've seen some fade to a lighter blue and red where others have gone almost a deep purple.

Old as in 2000-2007, which I believe has an aluminum bezel rather than a newer ceramic one. I'm not sure how much of a difference that really makes though.

Man. Tough call. I do like that the two line dial is a bit cleaner. But I don't think you can go wrong either way. Would love to see pics of what you decide on.

You'll want the ceramic.

No, just saw it in a store and liked it. The jeweler told me about the McQueen connection. I was about to have him take it out so I could get a closer look, but then he told me the price.

even if i won the lotto,id still baulk at the price of one of these,but they're gorgeous.

This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

[hbdope]

Going on a $3k trip to Colombia instead of getting another watch. Rolexes are cool but too many fakes/copies floating around. If I were to get a rolex it would be b/n the explorer and DeepSea. I really like Vintage omegas and hamiltons too.

On my list:
El Primero

Radiomir

FC

and I've always wanted a reverso after watching the Thomas Crown Affair

 

[Kraysla]

I haven't worn a watch in a few years, but i prefer roman numerals and not too much going on with the face. Colored background is great too.

 

[Kraysla]

I know this will be a very unpopular choice, but there is something about this watch that I love:

Normally i wouldn't be into so much going on with a watch, but that thing is great. Love the shape and colors. Definite eye catcher. I just want to keep looking at it.

Wrong. A lot of people still do. I like them So I don't have to worry about pulling my phone out of my pocket. Or even bringing my phone with me. They are good if you're doing dirty hands on work.

I wish I could keep a watch more than a year. I usually go with really cheap ones.
