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.

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...

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.

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?

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