Watches - another OCD problem
-
At the time it was the most I'd spent on a watch. Had a short bout of buyer's remorse. Now I wear it the most. They're not too bad used.
Yeah, it would be the priciest one for me, too. Thankfully the absurd price inflation of new Omegas hasn't trickled down to the secondhand market. I could probably clear enough funds for a used one by selling just 3 or 4 of my less worn watches. I could sell everything and still not have enough for a new one. Luckily, it's a classic that sells well year after year and hasn't had many noticeable changes since its inception. Unless you want to geek out about movements, bracelet components, typefaces and such…

My favorite watch is the IWC Portuguese
-
^nice Luminor Marina. I love Panerai
-
This is the only one I've bought in a while. Not sure if I'm going to keep so it usually sits in the box.
Nameness, I just bought a Lum Tec and it's all your fault…

We shouldn't encourage him, he's already cost me the price of one watch this week.
Only kidding, show us more!
-
That is a nice Sinn. Wish the date window were a bit larger, though. I need bigger, otherwise my crappy vision renders the feature worthless.

^^
yeah, nameness is a BEAST & has impeccable taste.
-
Just had my email confirmation that the Lum-Tec M38 is being dispatched tomorrow! Very excited…
-
Nameness is killing it over here.. And michaeljcr, that Lum-Tec sure looks nice, I love "Bell & Ross"-esque dials and hands so that hits loads of spots for me. I've decided that I'll save up for that Rolex I've always wanted, so there will be a minimal amount of spending money on other things for a while. I'll have to go pre-owned though, so no Datejust II for me but probably an Explorer II or a classic Submariner date. Something that looks nice on both bracelet and my favorite, the Nato/zulu band.
-
Nameness is spreading the joy here alright!
Jii, I think I might have to start saving up for a Rolex as well one day soon. No impulse control though, so it may never happen!
Re: Lum Tec, I got the last M38 which is kind of nice in a way. Here's a quick shot from the site:
Real life pics soon when it arrives.

I'm a big fan of the Seiko Riki Watanabe automatic w/ black leather band.

I love Seiko watches, superb range and generally good value for money.

Just a random rant about watches…
Went trying out watches yesterday (- just for fun but still watches I have at some point considered owning more or less seriously at some point in life ). All except two left me cold. Tried on the Breitling Superocean Heritage 42, Omega Aqua Terra (42 mm) and Rolex No-date sub but they didn't speak to me at all. They're all very nice in pictures but IRL they felt bland, small or just meh. Two watches really appealed to me: The Rolex DJII was really nice but totally out of my price range and then I re-aquainted myself with the Breitling Avenger Seawolf (was seriously considering to buy this watch in 2008) which has gotten new baton dial options at some point last year which give the watch a more classic look than the stenciled numbers on the other dial option. And boy did it speak to me.. again..
Loads more to try out still, but that one really does catch my fancy.. The downside is that it's just the big clunky diver's watch that I always fall for but that's not a real downside now is it?
Found a nice pic of it on flickr...

Looking forward to seeing your pics!
Jii - That Breitling is very cool. Are you going to check out the Blacksteel version?
