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

If you believe any of that I have an ocean front property to sell you in Ohio

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

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.

Tough and keeps excellent time. Have many more watches that are much more expensive, yet I wear this one everyday.
