Curious to see if there's any Getbiggers with a taste for time pieces and if so what do you have (feel free to post pictures)
My everyday watch is Tag, takes a lot of punishement and banging.
Then my main love is a Cartier Calibre I got last year and I wear it now and then and when going out...etc as it has a more classic feel about it.
Will get a third if this year ends well money wise.

My mainstay and 25th birthday present from wife/parents combined
My favourite watch is actually a 1950 solid gold omega like this (was only £800) I bought this off my father in law, and glad I did as we were close and he passed on less than a year after that so it's a special watch.

man, I haven't worn a watch in years. i dont wear jewelry either. I wear basketball shorts and Dr Seuss t-shirts most days.
I play a $3000 guitar, drive a $1200 truck. My priorities are all messed up.
If I was going to get one, it'd have to be one of those really tough ones, all military or camping-like. Shiny and gold, I'd scuff that up fast.
-
nice collection, my friends has a similar omega to the seamster, built like a tank solid and heavy and looks very nice in the sun.

I was in Vegas and was going to by the Devon watch,had it on my wrist and learned that the glass is actually a special composite plastic. Plastic!? Fuck that. Did not buy

I ended up buying this from IWC at the Encore

I like a Tag, they are a good everyday watch especially the Link line.
But in terms of quality, the omega is built like a spaceship lol - I picked up a new Tag link in a jewellers and asked if I could see the new omega planet ocean (was about 1k more to be fair) and even the way the links moved against eachother, you could tell one had been CRAFTED.
However, saying that, it comes down to preference of style plus quality so someone may prefer a cheaper watch that has better styling......
I'm sure you earn about 5x what I do though so lol ;D

Personally I don't like the Links line. Calibre 16s are nice and formula one are solid if you get the full metal ones.But like you said its a good everyday watch, I snorkle with mine, mountain bike, gym with it and it hasn't flinched. the Cartier I feel is OTT for everyday.
If I had the money Patek Phillipe would the one for one for me.

I have a few Tags and Movado's, not even sure of the models. I bought them over the years, and thought they were cool, but only wear them about three times a year, and it's usually the Tag Aquaracer I believe.

Cocks are overrated when you can use your fist...hence you need a solid wrist watch, water resistant is a must.

Black Casio protrek. Had more expensive but never liked a watch as much as this. Wear it anywhere, everywhere and all the time. I actually get more pleasure from having an inexpensive watch than the more ostentatious.

Omega Seamaster. One blue, one black.

nice stuff mate
with hindsight the omega I wouldn't swap. the other two are lovely but i have no real attachment to them. keeping them as an easy tax free way of whoever gets it gets it when i shuffle!

Most people try to buy flashy, gawdy looking watches to try to make up for the fact that they cannot afford a classy, expensive watch like a Rolex.

Perhaps, but not to the extent to some other watches. Some of these watches are just over the top in terms of appearance.
I guess to each their own.

Rolex are nice. But a total douche watch, and with the stigma of counterfeit rolex, everyone will assume yours is as fake as rich pianas arms.
IWC, or another Omega will be my next large purchase.

Protip. At sub $1000 retail, it doesnt fucking matter who makes the watch. It's not an ultra high end timepiece. A sub $1000 watch (retail) by a swiss manufacturer is nothing special either.

I know it sounds ridiculous. I can see where people that have never been in a similar situation wouldnt understand, but yes. Absolutely.
I size coworkers, associates, and people I have done business with, based on suit, the cut, cufflinks if wearing french cuffs, etc.
I had to go out and buy a 350 mont blanc pen when I get to a previous job because that particular "office" was big on pens.

Exactly.
This is the difference between people like Bill Gates, who have actual power, and people like you, who have to give off the appearance of power.
Bill Gates can show up to work in jogging pants and people would still "bow" down to him. It must suck to have to constantly try to keep up an appearance of power. How tiring that must be. :-\ :-\

I guess. I do what I have to do to make the money and live the lifestyle I appreciate living. Tbh I dont mind it in the slightest.
That supervisor mentioned earlier was a douche, an incredibly successful, intelligent, and demanding person though. I was fortunate to work for someone like that. Great guy.

I hope one day you can reach a point to where you can show up to work wearing whatever you want (to an extent) and just be yourself and still be respected. :) :)
I am glad to have a job where people care more about my performance than my look.

lol @ you being so broke you nitpick over spending a few hundred dollars more than it's true "worth".
it looks good, I like the style, I think it's worth $700. So I buy it.
When I drop $15k on watch next, I'll actually care about the quality and accuracy of what I'm buying.

In all honestly, in the line of work I am in, I will never be able to look like a turd at work.
And I am totally cool with that.
Get dressed up from time to time, and go do something. You will noticeably receive more eye contact, interaction with women, and confidence.
try it and report back.

I remember when I was in the jewelry section of Dillard's when I was a teen.
Looking at all of the Polo, Tommy, Guess, and Nautica watches. I figured I had to have one to compete with the joneses.
I am glad I grew into an adult.

Get dressed up? Why? In my line of work, it makes no sense to get dressed up for work, ever!! The people I work with do not care what type of clothes I wear, as long as I look presentable. I wear jeans and a polo shirt and sneakers :D :D

and I said "go out and do something" not for work .
-
I remember when I was in the jewelry section of Dillard's when I was a teen.
Looking at all of the Polo, Tommy, Guess, and Nautica watches. I figured I had to have one to compete with the joneses.
I am glad I grew into an adult.
theres 2 way' s it goes either you are a 'cliche'with a me too look or you add it to your own style/look and not look pretentious...
-
lol @ you being so broke you nitpick over spending a few hundred dollars more than it's true "worth".
it looks good, I like the style, I think it's worth $700. So I buy it.
When I drop $15k on watch next, I'll actually care about the quality and accuracy of what I'm buying.
lol @ you being both too retarded and too broke to buy a real watch so you have to settle for a $50 Fossil with a sucker(that would be you - retard) price tag of 700 to make you feel like you're a rockstar.
Dipshit.

I have the one without the diamonds. I had to wait to get the Roman Numerals
Nice! I love the yellow in the gold that Rolex has. It's so Gody but I love it. Classic :)

Who said I dont get dressed up when I go out and do something?
We were specifically talking about work.
I never said what I wore when I went out on the weekends.

Different things in history have shown style and class.
Are you a "alpha" male shizzo?
The title of alpha male is a bit miscontrued on Getbig. It's not about being a muscular guy with money.
It's about being a man. Soldiers are alpha males. Good fathers are alpha males.
Some hollywood actor/athlete is not an alpha male just because of profession.

Tacky/dead weight? sure.

I just assumed that due to you being vehemently opposed to looking good at work you might not ever be well dressed.

Yes. Yes

As a woman, how quick do you notice a nice watch?

IWC? Is that a deal-breaker for a potential date?
Would you date a man who doesn't own a watch?
-
Yes. Yes

Right away. It's no deal breaker, nor do I care if he's wearing one or not or what it is. I just tend to look at shoes first, then if the wrist is shining, I happen to glance at what it is. I just appreciate quality. The craftsmanship in an IWC is mind blowing.

You know what they say about "assuming" :)
Its not that I am vehemently opposed to dressing up at work. It has more to do with the clientele I work with. It would not be good to "dress up."
And when I go out, I do dress up nice (depending where I am going, obviously).

haha, yes its about quality.
Like you're anywhere good looking enough to pull a man who can spend $20,000K on a watch anyway. ::) ::)

I decided to buy a sportscar this winter instead. Nice try though ;D
But yes, I am too broke for both a Hermes watch and the car in the same year.
FYI, at that price, the watch is essentially the band and the look of the face. Nothing more. Fossil doesn't make that style, thus the origin of manufacture is entirely irrelevant in determining worth.
Lets see your watch and garage. Better have a Mclaren and diamond studded Patek to back up your fucking retarded comments.
-
Curious to see if there's any Getbiggers with a taste for time pieces and if so what do you have (feel free to post pictures)
My everyday watch is Tag, takes a lot of punishement and banging.
Then my main love is a Cartier Calibre I got last year and I wear it now and then and when going out...etc as it has a more classic feel about it.
Will get a third if this year ends well money wise.

i bought several Tag Heuer watches off Ebay for 500-600. mind you that was ten years ago. i wouldn't trust it anymore.

i was an idiot with ebay back then. i sent a guy in indiana a certified cheque for $72000 for a Dodge Viper and waited for 6 weeks for it to show up. it did, but now i think you have a 90 % chance of getting burnt.
the only thing i did get ripped on was a huge order of 1970's muscle mags for $500. it never showed up. so not bad concidering the risks i took
-

for that price range you wont get anything genuine that is a big named swiss really
for a couple hundo I woud aim towards a citizen or one of the nicer timex.
great watch.
dont be tempted by brands like invicta or akribos etc. garbage quality.
citizen/timex doesnt pretend to be anything that its not. reliable, respectable and very versatile.
I would lean more towards the citizen world.
-
Actually, I own a couple of pocket watches one of which is over 100 years old. I also have a 40+ year old Seiko Diver's Watch which I just had repaired so that I can begin wearing it again (even had the hour marks refreshed with luminous paint).

Mine is limited edition with a different face to this one, but is pretty similar. I paid circa $4,000 and now after 9 years it retails at $7,500+
They are an excellent investment.

very, very true.
people dont realize that.
I would at the bare minimum break even if I sold all my watches.
As long as you keep them mint and well serviced.

Yep, mine is rose gold though. I have a Santos and Tank model as well, but the Santos is at my gfs house now and my Tank model is at my parents house in GA. The Tank is just too fucking big. Makes me feel like I am wearing Captain Americas shield.

i bought some old muscle magazines off a seller called midcity somewhat pricey, but mags showed up in great condition esp considering their age earlly 60's stuff. i got burnt once but money was refunded after about a month, after i complained.

Could get a chronograph from Movado's ESQ line in that range. I have seen the classic look Movado at Costco under $500.
Seiko makes some quality watches.Tag uses their movements in some models.

lol at your knock off watches

True Story. I was in China and this guy comes up trying to sell me fake rolexes, breitlings etc... I told him how good the quality is because I'm there for another 2 weeks and if they are shit I'll come find him. He asks me which models do I like and I told him and he said he'll be back in an hour. I came back and asked him where he went. Told me he went to another town to pick up the better quality and even showed me side by side comparisons. Big difference. The price was a little higher but I bought a couple. 10 years later they are still shiney, no tarnishing and work great.

A Cartier Tank watch is one of the more quiet, understated watches in the jewelry world.
A men’s Tank watch is 1.25 inch by 1.50 inch.
Apocryphally, it’s called a Tank watch because the first one was given to General “Blackjack” Pershing to thank him for using tanks in keeping the Germans out of Paris in WWI. It is not remotely a watch that would be worn in a battle situation.
There are many other brands that ape it.
-

Simple yet distinctive, inexpensive, and their warranty is excellent.
A lot of nice watches in here, but they're too busy for my tastes.
-
Movado, which I bought over 7 years ago. But if/when it dies I doubt I'll replace it with any watch since I can just use my cellphone to check time.
Personally I'm not big on status-items like an expensive watch but to each their own.

My bad, I mistyped, meant Santos was too big. I have the Santos 100 w/ brown alligator strap and it is a beast. Heavy as fuck too.
