CLICKCLACKONER Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 there's also a gmt version. what does gmt mean in terms of watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM4RT Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'd go the Victorinox - assuming it is the auto version? GMT is that extra hand which is basically for another time zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swif1 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Will you look at that? I'd never have expected a thread on timepieces here on the oz. I guess it was bound to happen. Beardo's post reminds me of Xetum. Not that it's bad or anything. Anyway, here's mine: Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph My next timepiece would either be a Lum*Tec or say fuck it and get a Bell & Ross. Then again, I'm beginning to fall for IWC. which one should i cop... black victorinox swiss army dive master or citizen JW0097-54E or citizen BN0085-01E That is a decision that only you can decide. A watch should be an extension of you regardless if it's an automatic or a quartz movement. If you don't have many watches in your collection, try to pick one that would complement most of your outfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swif1 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 always go with auto... only quartz watches in my collection are vintage... Haha I'm not one to be concerned with what a man wears, but if there's a watch a friend wears that catches my eye and it ticks, my heart sinks. I guess I have high expectations from my friends. Then again, I have a Movado with a quartz movement. Ha! There's so much to a timepiece, that I force myself to not care too much (history, movement, etc.). Most people cringe at a Japanese ETA movement and prefer Swiss. Some appreciate in-house movements over sourced. Too much involved, I say! One of these days, I hope I will own a tourbillon.

IHATEU Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Montblanc, eh, not a great watch man. they are a pen company and relatively new on the watch game. when spending that much money i would pass and stay focused on a watch company that ONLY makes timepieces. and Piguet is a great watch, the royal oak offshore is quite classic but for what it is and how much those cost i cant swing it. i have purchased and sold several watches but for wrist time and staying power in my collection i pretty much stick to only a few brands: Ball, Kobold, Sinn, Omega, Bathys, and Tag Heuer thats pretty much in order of importance and desire as well with the first two slots changing from time to time... ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swif1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Montblanc, eh, not a great watch man. they are a pen company and relatively new on the watch game.a While I agree with you on this comment and watchuseek, the watch was a gift to me. It was either the Timewalker or the Sport Chronos, but the former felt like it was more for me than the other. Anyway, like I said in my previous post, wear what you like although there is much more to a timepiece than aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie’s will be auctioning off a genuine Rolex 5513 Submariner, as worn by Roger Moore in 1973′s Live and Let Die. Notable film buffs will be quick to ask if it features the Hyper Intensified Magnetic Field Generator & Buzz Saw Bezel like in the film. Well, you’re going to need between $230,000-$450,000 USD to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm predisposed to breaking every single watch I own. My parents gave me a Nixon for Christmas last year - just a basic one - "The Private". Come March, I went to set the time an hour forward for spring, and the fucking crown came right out. I didn't even bother filing a warranty claim because the overall cost of repair would probably exceed the price paid for the watch (neighborhood of $100). Needless to say I won't be buying a Nixon. Looking at Citizens, though. Might go with a fabric or leather band instead of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 very dope IHU. I still haven't copped anything but i'm interested in this watch http://www.hexawatches.com/k500.html it's limited to 500. pricepoint is cheap. don't know shit about the company. is the movement any good? thoughts?

IHATEU Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 eh for that price i rather rock a Bathys. plus that crown position is so awful and unpractical. kinda looks like a mix between a Sinn U1 and UX. as for the movement your basically paying 599-700 for a movement that Citizen makes and is put inside low tier brands like Fossil. you can compare the movement so some Seiko movements. though the one they use is a new movement that i dont know much about i know its a durable and tested company but for that price i would pass or just buy a Bulova, a company with history. its a jap company trying to compete with Swiss ETA. positives are if you are from Florida or want a US branded company time piece and cant afford a Kobold. lum-tec is a great company and are involved in making the watch. this watch probably equal too say Invicta another Florida based watch co that is riding off the coat tails of the historic company with same name. ����if you want a affordable watch that will last try Bathys if your into rare and putting your money into a US company Tissot (historic SWISS company making watches since 1850s Doxa ( make great dive watches. another SWISS company since 1800s hell you could come up on a used Heuer or Longines in the 500 range long winded much??? ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
