Time Pieces, What's On Your Wrist?

[LiftEaTsLeEpRePeAt]

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.

great thread   I was watch shopping tonight but found nothing.  This gives me many ideas

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.

Do you know me?

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

yeah that's my biggest fear getting ripped on an item I could do without

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).

awesome.

Theyre not my style, but wonderful works of art.

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.

With mint boxes and paper work is a must too, and you're good to go.

very nice, and good to hear how it turned out cash wise, my mate just sold a rolex oyster he wore for 6 years and boxed for two years, made £1200 on purchase price.
