Fucking Colombian bitching about ethnic people. ::)

There appears to be a used roll of toilet paper on the countertop.

I've had it for about 2 or so years. Probably have worn maybe 15-20 times since I got it.

How much does this timepiece cost Bigach?

epic 80 percent bodyfat
If if was not for the vein in the middle of the biceps i would bet all my money that those arms belong to a 300 pound obese woman.
-
I own three watches. Two of them cost under €50. Not my thing
-
How much does this timepiece cost Bigach?
They cost about $200+ at Costco
-
I too have a severe watch issue. I recently bought this one that has been on my wrist for over a year. Good watch:

Good taste big ach I have 9 invictas most from their reserve collection. Very wearable and stylish pieces
-
How much does this timepiece cost Bigach?
I got it for $190 at Costco -

I only have one, a 3 Stooges watch that doesn't work :P

200k watch is sweet

I used a G shock to wake myself up for work for 25 years. I use it every time I run or bike to time it. I use the count down timer to beep when 3 minutes is up when I hit the heavy bag. I swim in the ocean with it and with a quick rinse in the sink it's perfect. I even dropped it out a second story window and when I went down it worked and looked perfect. The battery dies in about 5 years. To lazy to replace the battery. I just buy another one. Great watch. I have a dress watch but this is the watch I use.

What a waste of fucking money. Check out my watches....15 dollars for all of them with free shipping.
-
I actually have an Invicta, but it is not nearly as gaudy as this. Basically an understated Rolex stainless submariner clone. Ironically, it runs better than the several Rolexes I owned in the past, and hasn't broken any parts like the real ones that I owned. Good buy for the money, similar movements inside as well. I love Rolexes, but they tend to require significant upkeep in my experience. Not a big fan of huge watches as I have little wrists, but nice acquisition Ach ;D
-
I hate watches they won't run on me some kind of interference being serious here my dad bought me many as a kid they all died. I have had many they just go dead after about a month so just throw them in the trash.

Next you need a Patek. ;)

Tattoos next on your list?
That watch sucks.
Don't forget the baseball cap, and boom box.
-
I get more compliments on my Invicta than my nicer watches.
-
I have this one as well, only take it off when I have to put on a suit.
I hate those watches...needs to be silver or gold plated to look stylish, anything else looks dorky
-
Hmm running low on toilet paper; won't end well when protein shit suddenly strikes. Would not hit.

Silver or gold watches have their place, with certain outfits. There is a system to pairing a watch with an outfit, like what color dress pants you pair a leather band vs a silver band. Same concept as pairing a tie with a dress shirt and dress pants.
This is applicable to those like me who have to wear a monkey suit every day :D

Do you athletes train with a watch on or no? I love watches but i can't stand lifting with it.

For some reason I just can't wear thin watches anymore.
I own this but with a gold dial and all gold bracelet, probably my thinnest watch but haven't worn it in years!

Ach: it's not what you think, I'm having an affair and sending this pic to the other woman.
Ach's wife: no you're not! You're posting that on getbig for all the admiration of those homos. I thought I told you to stop this shit!

You mean you used 5 G shocks to wake yourself up for work for 25 years. That is, if you replace them every 5 years as you state.
That said, high end mechanical watches are really jewelry and status symbols these days. A cheap Japanese or Korean watch costing less than $25 is more accurate than a Rolex Chronometer.
-
I can't find the exact Citizen eco drive watch but it's something like this. Under $400. Sometimes less is more.

When I first started buying them they were about $25 bucks in 1982 or so. Now they are over $100. I will replace the battery now if I had the new version. I go on ebay and find a brand new never used G shock from the past version I'm fond of.

Male jewelry, simple as that

Some guys like to wear fine clothes, shoes and yes fine watches. Some men dress like they want to get on the people of Walmart site. I wear a ratty tee shirt working out or washing the car. If I'm going to a restaurant or a meeting I'm dressing GQ like an esquire.

You don't have to spend a ton of money to buy a nice looking watch. Hell one of my favorite watches, was a $30 dollar no name military style. It seriously looked like it was $600, people would stop me and ask about it.

Why the hell buy a watch these days with the way phones are?
And they look stupid anyway.

yea, but a proper swiss watch isn't about getting attention. it's about understated quality and simplicity... and value. You spend $500 on an invicta, and sell it next year for $50... you spend $4k on a Panerai Luminor Marina and sell it next year for $4k... sell it 5yrs from now for $3500, sell it 10 yrs from now for $4500.
Omega's are probably the most undervalued watches available. If somebody is looking to get into swiss watches... QUALITY swiss watches.. you can can't go wrong with Omega. Esp the seamaster line.
I'd take a Tissot Automatic over an Invicta.They're in the same price range... for a lil more you can go with an Oris, which aren't as popular, but I really like them. My Uboat's are plenty big at 50mm, I can't imagine wearing an Invicta at 55mm +.

a watch is the only jewelry a man should wear (besides one of those shiney metal bands around a finger that signifies you gave your nutz to a woman.. ugh..)
Women look at 2 things on a man when they first meet (besides the face/body)... his watch, and his shoes. If you're not wearing a watch and wearing some Air Jordans, odd's are you're a boy in a man's body.

To be clear, Invicta is Swiss Made.
But yeah, Tissot is still a better watch - depending on the model though it usually runs more expensive than Invicta!

not all of them mate. they produce quite a few in China and Japan too:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Invicta Watch Group is an American based watch company. Invicta Watch Group trades on the name "Invicta Watch Company" which was a company founded in 1837 by Raphael Picard in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.[1] The Picard family had owned and operated the company which produced Swiss mechanical timepieces offered at modest prices until the quartz movement revolution of the early 1970s.
In 1991 the company was purchased by a United States-based investment company. The corporate headquarters were relocated to Hollywood, Florida, where the company also operates its customer service call center.

Yes, it's an American owned company, but the movement is still Swiss made. At least the ones I have are. Not that it matters because its still an Invicta at the end of the day Lol. I didn't buy this watch for "status" , I have high end luxury watches that I can wear any given day if I want to flaunt "status" but I don't care about that shit, I don't wear those nearly as much as I wear my cheaper models, I bought this watch because I liked the way it looked.

So never purchased a Breitling? I have owned nearly every swiss brand and just sold a PAM 305. I can't seem to let go of any of my Breitlings and bought them all at all at great prices.

that's not a bad watch. I like it. esp at that price point. good weekend watch for jeans and a tshirt.

Air Jordan's???? That is considered fine shoes, where? Maybe Cole Haan or other nice dress shoes.
no no, I was saying if a woman see's a grown man wearing some air jordans (or sneakers period) and not wearing a watch, it's a bad thing.
I like Cole Haan, but I prefer Rockport's. Aldo's fit too slim.
If you're wearing decent shoes and a watch, it shows you care how people see you. (muscle's aside)
in short
Nike Dunk's & no watch = BAD
Rockport slipons & a Tissot Automatic with black leather strap = GOOD.
lol

So never purchased a Breitling? I have owned nearly every swiss brand and just sold a PAM 305. I can't seem to let go of any of my Breitlings and bought them all at all at great prices.
nah, never been a fan of Breitling's.
I'm a Panerai man, myself. I love'em. had a few Rolex's, including an 18k YM2, and I still have 2 GMT Master 2's, a coke dial and a pepsi dial. At the time I really liked them, but now I hardly wear them. Got rid of the YM2... it was wayyyy too flashy. Driving 15k cars and trucks, but wearing a 22k watch wasn't the right thing to do. lol. I'm waiting till one of my clients gets back from overseas to sell the GMT's, and i'll probably pick up a simple SS Submariner with black face/dial and put a black leather strap off a Daytona on it.

why have a watch, when have the time on the hone anyway, and there public watches, and other ppl with watches,can just ask them.
???
esfitness,swiss watches are vastly overrated, its all pr.
theres a former rolex engineer out there, he had fallout with rolex, and is making the same watches, same raw materials same everything, and offers them for like 10 times less money.
i should have used past term, courts have shut him and his company down.but yeah, go figure.
theyre better than the rest, but ridiculously overpriced none the less
swiss watches are an investment.
are swiss watches better than a Hamilton? you could argue they're equal... but the resale value of swiss is what sets it apart.
spend 1200 on a Hamilton and sell it a year later for 500, spend 3000 on an Omega Seamaster and sell it a year later for 2800.

Yeah, good idea. Ask other people to give you a ride in their car, instead of having your own car. Cars are everywhere.

Bullshit.

Plenty of Rolex replica watches out there. And, no, they are not the same at all. And they are illegal, which is why that "former Rolex engineer out there" got shut down by the courts.

People keep buying Rolex because they are impeccably built, beautiful, and last forever. Unlike shit like Invicta. Not everyone can afford them, but that does not make them "overpriced."
You can always buy a $40 Casio, and it will keep better time than a Rolex. But it's not the same thing. Rolex is about beauty, excellence, and the epitome of the watchmaker's art.

yah the rolexes, can even sell them for more, depending on season.
id never buy a watch, but the stainless steel daytona is the most beautiful timeless watch ever made. :D
Daytona has no date window.

Im a big watch lover. I own a few pieces right now. My best one is a pristine Rolex explorer 2 that ive had for a few years. One of my favorite brands currently is victorinox. I think they're putting out some of the best mid range swiss pieces that most people can get their hands on. Another that I love it's from a not so well known brand called fromanteel. This baby right here is next in my collection.

comes after years of 'trial and error'. should've seen me 10 years ago... wearing 2 big 18k gold chains and driving modified imports. lol... just foolish. $4k worth of gold around my neck, $5k worth of rims, paint, turbos, and bright red soft vinyl interiors on cars worth $4k.... at least the diamonds in my ears were princess cut. lol.... wearing vans and DC skater shoes... paying $2k rent in a townhouse.
then I smartened up and saw the error of my ways. haha.

Good taste, sir.

at first glance I thought this watch was a couple hundred bucks... so I searched back for this thread to find the site again, and to my surprise, it's nearly a $1k watch. lol.... eh, nO!... for a G, I can find Omega's and Tag's for the roughly the same price, with higher resale value. i'm disappointed :-\ lol

me too i have a bad watch addiction ;D

They are $700, if you can find one. IMHO, the movement, materials and machining alone are worth the money. I have a few Omegas and they aren't as solid.

It has the usual 2824 by ETA a very reliable movement, although not so strong as the cheaper 7S of Seiko.
Real tough watches usually do not have the date complication since it makes them more vulnerable.
nice watch nevertheless, I'll consider buying one

I see the tag and Rolex what are some of the others, very nice BTW.

Why have a bunch of so-so watches when you could have one stand-out one for the same money?

thanks mate, there is also a Cartier Pasha Crono and a couple of Oris

My Seamaster is my most prized possession 8) (After my METRX protein shaker cup obviously)
I have a TAG Link also, but nothing matches the simplicity of the seamaster.
Compared to the TAG which was almost £2K, the Omega (£3300) is easily DOUBLE the quality. When you pick each one up, even the way the links move shows the engineering that has gone into them.
I'm not highly paid by any means, but I look at these as an investment for myself and my son - better than putting £5K in an account for him to blow at University lol

Agree 100%....plus denying yourself for the sake of amassing numerical wealth defies to point of enjoying it.

Are these things spring driven with escapements and such or are they battery powered with electronics governing the power fed to the gears?
A hand wound watch would be more my style but not for some of the money getting thrown around in this thread. Anyone using a spring powered watch or are they gone with great-grandad's era?

Why two Seamasters?

Why two Seamasters?
One of them is fake. (They're not both the same style either, one of them is the James Bond limited edition model with the gun barrel dial)
Actually, there are two replicas total in that collection. Can you guys spot which ones? :)
-
Where is the Luminox Navy Seal? ;D
-
I can understand a tv, but these overpriced watches are for women. Especially, the oversized ones now...ridiculous.
-
Where is the Luminox Navy Seal? ;D
I went with the Invicta pro diver in the center bottom instead. I was dying for the Luminox, but that Invicta was just easier on the wallet for the time being.
But the Luminox definitely has a place in my future when I can splurge!

Which one is the Omega Broad Arrow? I don't have an Omega Broad Arrow. lol - think I know which on you are referring to.
The replicas are:
The Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited edition (2nd one on the top left - Funny, cause it actually weighs more than my real Omega Seamaster)
The black Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean (5th one on the top right)

Ach, I think your watch collection costs more than my entire wardrobe.

Even better deals on sites like Watch U Seek and Timezone. They all have sales pages and I have never found better deals then from other watch addicts looking to unload quick. I prefer to buy them gently used and fully depreciated. A Rolex Deepsea can be found for under 8k and I almost bought a Pam 305 for under 7k.
http://www.watchrecon.com/ is a great site for finding watches being sold all over the net! Pick your brand and find your watch.
