Who else here is a watch whore?

arcticreaver · 07-17-2009, 03:13 AM

i think for me, the panerais were every cool when i first started to get interested about watches. but i guess after all the readings and photos of other watches, my tastes have changed. but yes, they are one of the classics, well at least i too consider them as a classic design.

i love g-shocks and the following is what i have -

G-Shock GW-M5600BC-1

G Shock DW5600FS-3JF aka Hero G - the g shock that is so ordinary yet hard to find.

G-Shock GW9200-1 aka Riseman

watches to me is about practicality and that's what i love about the G.

I know so many people who swear by the G-Shock watches.

That's good, man. I wish I could track down my old '03 GT to spend some quality time with it again!

IWC is the Pilot, it is my only leather strap watch. Well Igot my first watch almost 10 years ago so I have been building a nice collection. I have the watches I wear everyday and I rarely wear my IWC since I am not a leatherband type of guy.

Hmm, I think I'll buy me a nice lambo before I get an AP watch

.

I have the PAM296, I saw it in NY and fellin love with it. I wish it didn't have the cyclops but the gun metal is what sold me.

Nice I really like the big pilots, also the Portuguese. You can get an AP in the 20's vs. a 200 lambo lol. But I know what you mean those and Patek's are incredible and always glorious to see.

I love watches. Here are some of mine.

My favorite is my Panerai. It's easy to switch straps which makes it versatile.

My Rolex GMT is a classic.

Breitling Crosswind. Breitling makes a great watch for the money.

Tag Monaco, Limited Edition Steve McQueen 75th Birthday watch. I don't like Tags, but this one was pretty unique and I got a great deal on it.

I also have a 53mm U-Boat Left Hook, but I don't have a pic right now. I rarely wear that one. It is almost too big. It's about the size of the clock Flavor Flav wears around his neck.

Balzdeep · 07-17-2009, 03:05 PM

I'm a seiko whore.

Limited edition chronograph - 1000 pieces #572
Black Monster diver
Titanium Samurai - blue face SBD003 (very rare)

Cheers

Haha I agree I like the U Boats but in one my earlier post I had said once your done wearing it on your wrist you can put it back up on the wall lol. Nice collection btw. Does your Pam have the exhibition back casing?

No, it's fully automatic. The exhibition back only comes with the daily winders.

smurfblu13 · 07-17-2009, 03:18 PM

Ah good point forgot about that.

kdo2milger · 07-17-2009, 03:47 PM

oh man, love those watches.

i guess now you need is a sumo to complete your collection?

chubbs · 07-17-2009, 04:46 PM

Hmmm - I am left-handed and wear a watch on my right wrist, so because those 'analogue style' watches have the 'winder' knob on the right I would never buy one (totally the wrong way round for me).

I live on a planet designed for right handers - but don't get me started on that one
