The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[jordanscollected]

Before I knew anything about high end clothing or nice quality accessories, I had my eye on this monstrosity of an Invicta mechanical skeletonized Russian Diver. It has lived most of its life in a dark watch case. Just came across it the other day and said screw it… let’s give it a go.

A battered representative of what I consider a really interesting, historically important tool watch:

Great resource on the history of the watch:

@RobeOfTheMagi very cool, nice patina on the watch also!!

Like the look and specs of these. Whats the word on Glycine? Seem's like a swiss that is actually reasonably priced for what it is. Quality seems good from what i can tell.

@WhiskeySandwich to my knowledge they use Siletta or ETA movements. I’d consider them cool watches with quite some history and quality ️.

Not had a Citizen before. Quite like the look of this one.

X-post from Nike thread…

Picked up some cool old Nike watches on eBay. A Triax and an ACG Ascent…

[Matt]

I’ll be buying more of these. I really like it.

Nike ACG Ascent from early 2000s. It’s got all kinds of crazy features for mountain climbing that I’ll never use. I’ll pick up some more of these.

@Matt This one reminds me of those wacky (in all kindness) shoes you have. Nike was ahead of their time with these designs.

Oh snap! Is that one of the relove wrist straps? @roydub87
