Watches - another OCD problem

[ALEX1976]

i wear my ROLEX 16610 about the History and quality….my daily rocker is the 16610!
I rock this bitch every day @ work,i am a mechanic and the 16610 make all things that i make too!
but i think a ROLEX has a real real soul and history OPTIK!......HISTORY=movement 3135,history(Gleitze,Wilsdorf, same Design(oyster case) :-!!! since the 50´s on the Sub,100% autarchic) :-

but the U1 is a opinion in my mind!
i love my 16610 an d my 116200 and i never give it away!!!
i think the the U1 is a really good Choice......the history about the u boat steel is really  freaky and cool!
Optik is lovely good too!
what i think is not soooo good is the eta movement :-
but i think i get the U1 soon too 

thanks ROCKET to anfixen!

I'm totally with you about all the history and stuff, no question about this, I had a Sub, think I told you…

and sure you welcome, you wouldn't be the first one that bought a Sinn after...

[ALEX1976]

the U1  is a good choice and quality!
1000€ is no to much for a mechanic,high quality item-MADE IN GERMANY!

When i wear Jeans for 250€-300€…i think a wtach for 1000€ is ok;-)

@hectic:

@ Chris - http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn_u_series.htm is this the same white one you remember?

Yep, Hectic, that's the one.
Gotta stop looking at watches; it's been a while since I bought one and I don't need to sucked into buying another.  The wife is already hinting that I should clean out a couple that I don't wear often…

[hectic]

Post 'em up here Chris. Whatcha got?

my modest contribution to this thread.  not much of a watch guy really, but this one has served me well.

Been at home drinking beer and photographing stuff today.

My girlfriends:

And one of mine:

and then I ran out of battery. Well, more beer then.

That is a lovely watch you've got there, loghill. Classic chronograph design. Late 60s, is it?

What do you guys think of the Luminox 1848.
I dig this style but the price seems a bit high at 450, is it worth it, or are there any similar watches?

I've always been a big fan of the German stuff…Sinn, Stowa, and the independents like Thomas Ninchritz, Dornbluth, etc. Lately my day to day has been my Sinn 757, a TN Regulateur, PAM 000 (non German I know), or a Sinn EZM3. I also love the high end Japanese pieces, especially the high end quartz models. My EDC for about a year was a Citizen Chronomaster (was +1 sec/year on my wrist!). I am still working out how to post pics, but I have some to share.

nameness asked for it, so here it is.

nothing special though!

Fossil CH-2559

[nameness]

Very nice.  Does the chrono actually function?

[Finn666]

yes it does

[nameness]

Very cool.  I like the face & dial color accents.  Good one for dressing it up a bit.
