Any Watch Collectors ?
In the spirit of the new "LIFESTYLE" sub-forum, how many of you collect cool watches?

I'm a big fan of the 60s and 70s Swiss watches from Technos, Rado, Zenith and their ilk.

Anyone else?

Very nice Planet Ocean. I personally like large watches as I have a large wrist but my personal collection consists of 40mm and up case sizes. Nice too see a few collectors here.

Not a huge collector but currently I have the obligatory Rolex S/S Sub, and a Cartier Pasha Power Reserve. Prior, I had a 1980 14K/SS Brown/Bronze Rolex GMT Master, which was cool.

I've got the wife in a Rolex Datejust with diamond face and bezel. She also has an old manual wind Rolex Oysterdate, I think it is. Then there's her Baume et Mercier something or other and her Raymond Weil hooptie.

I love watches, and have for quite a long time. In fact, I have cut a few deals with other MBWorld members.

I love the power reserve, and the pasha is one of my favorite designs, it is on my list...

It's about watches. Timex, Pulsar, or any qualifies.

What do you have? I like their Pro Diver series. Yes I know it's an obvious Rolex copy but when you make $30k a year you have to make sacrifices somewhere...

My favorite ones I have are these:

Subaqua Noma III Master Calendar in Goldtone/Black
http://www.shopnbc.com/Invicta_Men_s...ter%20calendar

Corduba Chronograph in white mother of pearl
http://www.shopnbc.com/Invicta_Men_s...ter%20calendar

Here's another brand, it's called 32 degrees. Looks really nice and lots of people think it's worth thousands. I have the two tone.

Oh and from Amazon, I got this bad boy, with real CF dial, looks like a Bell&Ross!

At Costco I picked up this one in black:

With that said I own a Hamilton Khaki Navi Reggata. 44 MMs of American perfection. I have worn it non-stop for almost a year now and It has not given me one problem. My next watch will either be a Franc Mueller or a Panerai.

Mine is with the blue rubber band though.

Try overstock.com. Sometimes they have good deals on there. I got my dad an Seiko 5 for father's day last year at a good price.

Also try Watchdiscounters.com. I got a TAG from them for a good price too. Fast shippers.

Ok I am looking for another daily watch for right now, just a cheap one to keep in the car when I forget my hamilton. I have a big wrist, the hamilton looks normal on my wrist, so I wanna go with a 46 or 50 MM face, but I hate that "baller" look that a lot of watches in that size range try to emulate. What is are the recommendations?

Same here. I've got at least 50 watches, most of which I've been getting from shopnbc lately. Here is some of my collection:











I've got many more, but those are some of my more recent purchases.
