Post your watches

[Northam Saint]

I do like those Oris big crowns. Been on the look out for the big crown pointer.

Ive had mine quiet a while now. I was left some money when a family friend passed away. I considered other watches such as a Tag but settled for the Big Crown, it's a classic looking watch.

This has a date pointer, the photos has been taken with the iPad camera me being lazy and also using tapatalk it's a quick and easy method. But it doesn't show the detail.

Can't take the credit for the photo, but this has been what I've been wearing for a couple of years now.

Did consider getting an Explorer when my mortgage ends later this year but I think I'll just get another G-Shock. Probably a 'Rescue' which is almost the same watch but rounder.

Ahh I zoomed in, that's pretty much what I'm after. I missed one not long ago that had q sub-second dial.

They have a nice classic look, but with a sight edge with the pointer, to make a little bit different.

Nice choice.

Well I was shocked at what they go for brand new now. Mine was purchased about 12 years or so ago and at the time it was sub £400. The same watch from Goldsmiths is now £800.00. It stays locked away in the safe when not in use.

Since getting a Precista PRS-3 for my 40th birthday back in November it's all I've worn.

A great watch and very good value for money.

I've has several Omegas and various vintage watches (especially Smiths) but this one really ticks all the boxes: seriously strong, subtly stylish, and it has a date window (I need a watch that tells me the date).

About a quarter of the way down the page here:

Seriously recommended.

Here's mine, a little treat I got myself a few years ago with an annual bonus (don't see many of them anymore) Not my pictures, but exactly the same. I do love really chunky watches.

Bit of blurb

This Breitling Aeromarine Chrono Avenger M1 is a 44mm Super Quartz and is water resistant up to 1000m. This is a fully functional chronometre with screw down crown. This Breitling Chrono Avenger has the deepest depth rating of any chronometre.

This watch also features a helium release valve on the side of the case at the 10 O'clock, a thicker more massive case than 300m chrono avenger, and the patented magnetic chronograph pushers can be operated even under water.

This watch is Breitling's most extreme chronometre and this is Breitling's only chronometre rated for water resistance to 1000m. The entire case, crown, pushers and strap are made from polished titanium.

I'm really liking the dial on that, reminds me of a classic omega seamaster.

I've not seen this make before.

And I'm loving the detail in the movement on the hand wound chrono.

Thanks,
Cost's a bloody fortune to run though, battery every 3 years is £100 and the five yearly service to renew seals stings a bit at £550.
All because only Breitling do it, that said they do strip it down to individual part level, clean, replace any worn internal parts, reassemble and polish out any marks at service time.

I used to lock it away in the safe and it only came out for special occasions, but I figured considering the running cost's it should become my daily wearer.

I have a friend who treated her self to a Breitling, she sent it for a new battery / service and commented it was better travelled than her! She's had loads of ops on dodgy knees so doesn't go too far. Hers is a blingy one with diamonds on all the hours, and wears it daily.

I'd wear my Oris more but I know I'd knock it messing around with something or another.

My girlfriend's got this one:

But I personally don't get chunky watches (not that I currently have funds for LV either).

:icon_lol: That made me laugh, mine's travelled a fair bit as well and reminded me of how many little bits of wood are missing from door frames in my house, just below waist level:angel:

Worst knock was on a bench vice (vice came off worse) but there was a little gouge in the side of the case. When it came back from the last service gouge was gone:icon_razz: Don't ask me how you polish a deep scratch out of titanium:huh:

I think it's a personal thing, but I believe a mans watch should be the size of a paving slab and be able to deflect a speeding bullet or punch, something akin to Captain America's shield:icon_lol:

I agree!

One thing I've noticed is the number of girls / women who are wearing big, chunky watches. I asked a girl I know who wears big watches and she tells me that ladies wearing men's watches is definitely "in."

When your watch is as big and as gaudy as as a cowboy's belt buckle, its time to have a very strong word with yourself.

I have an old Seiko diver, which looks like this (not my pic):

A Christopher Ward *cough* diver (not my wrist or picture):

Just paid for another *cough* Christopher Ward diver (not my picture - no-one has this watch, yet):

I really should think about buying something that isn't a diving watch...



Another Christopher Ward fan then, I am looking to buy another one when I get the cash together, you have the Yellow face version of the Tri-Tech I have........:icon_razz:
