i remember seeing some nice watches here, some of you have panerai's and such...expensive stuff. anyway post your watches!

since i'm the OP, here's my collection.


1997 OG G-shock (found this last week in one of my drawers, just bought a new nylon band which is being shipped to my house):

casio film watch (daily beater):

invicta skeleton mechanical 9838 (can see through to the back, as well as view the in-house mechanical movement):
image

the display back (no one really knows what kind of movement it is, but it's decent enough for a manual wind watch):
image

and my prized hamilton khaki field automatic chronograph:

display back (showing the automatic winder, and valjoux7750 movement, the thing's a workhorse, i lose probably 1 second/day pimp.gif):

I just have some cheapo Kenneth Cole ones for now. Going to get a nice Tag or Breitling when I graduate from the university though.

I don't feel the need to have an expensive watch, just have one that looks good and works well.

Had my 3.0 Benny since '04 and it still in perfect condition. It's a really nice watch without looking so damn gaudy.

I only have designer watches at the moment, mostly for daily wear. I think it's time to move on though and I'm trying to work into getting a Tag and/or IWC though. I'll have to see if I can get good deals on those.

Wordy - is that seiko premier a kinetic drive? i see the little rating thing on the 9-12 o'clock side, which is typical of seiko kinetics. usually seiko will have kinetics somewhere on the facedial, but it just says automatic...so maybe it's just the reserve power from the automatic winder? you tell me laugh.gif

Crimsoncloud - we're hammy buddies! mine's a 38mm, yours is probably the 42mm, since it has the shorter lug length.

Rfx - IWC's will run you a pretty penny, my hammy's about a grand at retail and IWC will run you 3-4 times that for used ones.

I know, a lot more for the one I'm looking to buy. I've been looking at the IWC Portuguese Automatic, I got a dealer down to $8,500 on it (retail $10,500) but I'm still looking around for a better deal. I was going to go with the IWC Portuguese Chrono with a black face and I got the dealer down to $4,700 (retail $6,700) but it having Omega parts made me think twice about it. At least the Portuguese Auto is actually made by IWC, although their 2008 model has gone down from 44 jewels to 42, doesn't matter much though I guess.

ahh, yes, the caliber 5000/pellaton on the portuguese is one of my favorites. i've been eyeing the perpetual calendar myself, too bad it's basically eyecandy for me until i get out of school. i've seen people selling the portugese for ~$5000-$6000 near mint condition on a few watch forums, you may want to check those out if you wish to save a grand or two for basically a new watch!

have you also looked into other brands in the same price range? you can get some really beautiful nardins or audemars at that price range (gently used, or course), i tend to favor the artistry of those over the more conservative iwc's...if i want conservative it'll be a patek for a dress watch and mid-range for everything else.

Got it last Spring Break, not bad for a first/starter watch. A step up from my Fossils from my younger days. I really love watches, but being 18 they aren't really a high priority on my list.

I look to adding another one to my collection come my birthday or hopefully if I get a job and have some money to blow.

I love watches. I have owned some decent pieces but had to sell them not too long ago. But I have kept my baby...always.

The movement on this watch is SEIKO's 6R20 automatic, it is not kinetic. As you look at the back you will notice the mainspring is wound by an oscillating weight. Most Seiko Kinetics/quartz have a tiny generator driven by an oscillating weight. But yes, has a 45 hrs power reserve.
