Kasanova 2 Posted April 9, 2012 I only have 2 watches for now that i wear on a daily basis. Omega Constellation- automatic Movado SE for some reason i dont like the bulky thick watches for some reason, they have to be thin and simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david8613 69 Posted April 9, 2012 so sad, I returned the citizen black eagle sky hawk. that black ion plating was coming off with very light use working at my desk at work... don't know what to get now... I sent an email to citizen about it but they said just to bring it back to we're I brought it from, apparently it's a known problem and really don't wanna address it...very sad because it is such a beautiful watch, but in a year it will look like shit... my wife has a guess watch that has a more durable coating on it. any tough black watches? I have too many silver, I want a black watch, but no rubber or leather bands I break those for some reason... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moparman426 5 Posted April 9, 2012 My current one is a Citizen Eco-Drive (the one with the strap that looks like a tire). Ive worn it for three years with no issues. Next one might be a Seiko. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odin 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Here is my new handwind. It's a design that I came up with working with my buddy who is a watch maker (and gun guy too). He put it together. The strap is temporary, I am waiting for a brown alligator strap to arrive. Hope you like. Unitas 6498 skeletonized Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david8613 69 Posted April 27, 2012 well I ended up returning the black eagle skyhawk beacause the black ion coating was wearing from 2 days of light use, I coughed up the extra dough and got the titanium version, it's so darn light! feels like nothing is on my wrist, the steel version was an anchor. I'm happy now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O-gre 7 Posted April 27, 2012 Love my Breitling. Have a crosswind since 98 and wear it every day and still looks new. On top of that it's worth more today than I paid for it. Also picked up a Breitling Titanium for more casual affairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shocker 151 Posted July 9, 2012 My "EDC" is a B&M Chrono, with the good old Valjoux 7750 so its easy to maintain Traveling I have a Tag Pro Quartz, old faithful. I have an Omega Aqua Terra on order, the new 8500 movement with the Si14 mainsprings so I'm looking forward to that one. My grail alternates between a Daytona and a Master Compressor depending on my mood... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted July 9, 2012 My daily work watch is a $10 Ascent digital watch with a yellow bezel. It has an alarm and a stopwatch. Useful to have on my wrist. My usual "going out" watch is a Breitling Aerospace. Then I have a few "dress up" watches that get seldomly worn. Out of the herd of those watches I probably wear a 2011 Rolex GMT w/ ceramic bezel the most. I still admire that one. Others that stay on their winders are offerings from Rolex, Panerai, Omega, and Breguet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love all the Omega's I have and prefer them over Tag or Rolex... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted July 9, 2012 Any of the Luminox line. I have several of them. Not cheap but work very well and are accurate. Also, one of the only companies that use real Tritium Gas Tubes.

CAM 5 Posted July 9, 2012 I am definitely on board with favoring Omega's the quality is higher than that of Tag and the same with Rolex in my Opinion. Omega was the first watch to the moon for those who didn't know. There is an essence about Omega wearers vs Rolex wearers that I find Omega wins with. I think they appreciate the watch more than someone who buys a watch to be flashy. My daily watch and my favorite is a Omega Seamaster. I wear Montblanc Timewalker for formal occasions and sometimes at work. And a Rolex GMT Master II I purchased used from an uncle fallen on hard times. I hope to get a new design Omega Planet Ocean, possibly the new skyfall release shortly after Christmas time with extra income and tax return money. Here is photo of mine I edited Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 151 Posted July 9, 2012 I was doing an "Aqua Terra vs. Datejust" shootout and the deciding factor for me was that I think Rolex is much more common (as common as a $5k watch is anyway) so I went with Omega. I wanted an in-house movement and I know that the 8500 isn't technically "in-house" its really close. Failing the Omega or Rolex I was looking Zenith. EDIT: The Skyfall is really really sharp. That would be a nice pickup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJdiverTony 27 Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah, I think the Rolex and Tag's are somewhat "Me too" watches... I think you'll find that Omega owners are mostly made up of folks that really know and appreciate good quality timepieces/movements. I don't mean that Tag and Rolex are not quality watches... they are... and I was just drooling over a beautiful high end Tag I saw in store a couple of weeks ago... but IMHO, I feel Omega's are better. They may not have the trendy or "bling-bling" reputation of some of the other watch manufacturers, but I think they're higher quality than your average Tag and Rolex.

CAM 5 Posted July 9, 2012 Yea right on with that assessment Tony! And @Shocker, I absolutely love the Dial and face on that watch, what I love even more is the whole carbon fiber'esque look on the Quantam of Solace Planet Ocean. But the whole subdued "quantum of solace" writing in center of the sapphire crystal ruins it. I think they realized that with the Skyfall release and left that part out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJdiverTony 27 Posted July 9, 2012 Nice collection tony, a gentleman always needs at least one leather banded watch! Thanks! The crappy cell phone picture does them no justice though... They are much more beautiful in person. And yes, I agree on the leather! That's my dress watch... Speedmaster Broad Arrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AS1431 0 Posted July 12, 2012 I wanted an in-house movement and I know that the 8500 isn't technically "in-house" its really close. Failing the Omega or Rolex I was looking Zenith. Why do you say that the 8500 isn't technically in house? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 151 Posted July 13, 2012 As I understand it the 8500 is still made by ETA but exclusively for Omega. And ETA and Omega are both Swatch so it's "sort of" in house but I didn't think Omega was a true "manufacture" like Zenith or Patek, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
