wat - Slang. Indicates confusion or a need for clarification. Statement/question.

I know, its unusual...those who own nice timepieces will understand...being a member of a few timepiece forums we do this every weekend in them...

just thought there may be a few here that appreciate nice watches...as all of you appreciate nice automobiles, right?

Here's a thread I think the OP will enjoy:

Who else here is a watch whore?

(I knew there was a similar thread around here....took me awhile to find it)

I love watches, they are my weakness. I have a nice collection of Tags, Omegas, Panerai, IWC, Oakley, and others. I refuse to spend more than $30 on a pair of jeans or shorts but I've dropped $9k on a watch lol.

arcticreaver · 07-17-2009, 01:17 AM

somehow panerai is loosing it's appeal to me. my watch to own for sure is the omega speedmaster 125 -

it's a HUGE and heavy watch. without the crown, it's about 42mm and with the crown its almost 45mm. and the weight with the metal bracelet is 183g. it's been stated that only 2000 where made.

the look of the watch was that appealing to me at first, but i think it grew on me. and after i read about the history of the watch, it just made this watch the one watch that i need to have.

that is a watch that is going to take me some time because i would have to drop around 2.5k for the watch, most likely it's got some wear and tear and dings and dents so i would most definitely spend about another 1k for restoration by sending it to omega.

so my next watch in the near future is probably going to be the Seiko SBDQ001.

diameter 40mm
thickness12.8mm
weight 94g

nice size and nice weight. and not too bad of a price.

What IWC timepiece do you have? Sir you seem like you ball in watches and clearly have good taste, so the next question is do you have an AP or plan on getting one? What Pams do you have?

Pams have become more mainstream now but something about them is just classic. I have become a huge fan of Bell & Ross watches as of late, you can see the one in one of my earlier posts. Another one that has grown on me are Uboats. Yes after you're done wearing it for the day you can take it off and hang it on your wall, but it's just something about them.

good thread, seen it done many times before as well.

Also OP like the new av pic, do you still have the Mach also?
