The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Danimal506]

I listen to a podcast, The Grey NATO and those two guys are always talking about the Garmin watches. Great for hiking and scuba diving etc.

It’s a fun podcast for anyone into watches and outdoor adventures, plus a little motorsports.

Had to get used to not wear my mechanical watches but for everyday wear and being outside and active its great

I hope you guys aren’t getting tired of these. My obsession will likely wane soon enough.

1989 “Skate Bike.” The chrono doesn’t work but for $75 it’s ok. NIB ones are going for around $300…

[Matt]

1990 “Bora Bora.” This one was a little pricey as well, some of them are more collectible for whatever reason.

@Sage954 thanks! There are a couple of the Big Bold models I like that are homages to models from the 90s but Ive always wondered about the size. The originals are very expensive on the 2nd hand mkt.

Garrard Automatic 1971 with green leather strap. Seems to be keeping time, but let’s see how the next few days go…

This may need to be the 331-ODG watch…

Just discovered this micro brand and I’m smitten. I love my hometown so theae speak to me in a big way. Now I just can’t decide on white or orange. A little help?

@Matt Going to go with the white one for legibility.

[Matt]

The white is awesome but the orange is so bold. I really don’t know.

[Matt]

I know, white face with black bracelet and orange with silver.

[Matt]

Or vice versa.

@Matt if they're from Baltimore I would have expected at least one more colourway

[Matt]

[Tago Mago]

@Matt you had that one lined up waiting for someone to ask

[FlavourFade]

@long_john86 wow, what a beauty! Is it keeping time okay last days?

[long_john86]

@FlavourFade we are a few days in, no supplementary manual winds, and about +30seconds, so I’m taking that as a win!
