Nice AP iLLGT, you have any close up pics? Kind of want to see the blue in-ring in the watch.

Awesome PO's lazybone. I like Omegas and the PO is my sight but I like the SeaMaster Bond better. More accommodating to my wrist.


iLLGT and lazybone, any good discount on a Tag Heuer? My next watch is probably going to be the Tag Heuer Monaco Automatic in blue, please let me know if they carry the brand.

Oops missed this.. I will drop my friend an email and see what he says about the Tag, and then let you know!! He will give me the best/reliable source for it if he cannot get it..

tommycap, if you don't mind I will post those Omega pic's up on one of my car forums ... These guy's have outstanding collections, and even more so in knowledge... They will definitely be able to tell me about it.

Also, I advise you not to sell it regardless of the value it may have.. Because it's monetary value surly cannot replace it's history throughout your family, and that has no price attached!

FX45 you got it, when he gets back to me i'll put him in contact with you directly, i'll send you a message with all of the details!

110th thanks man.. L4P is growing at a rapid rate, not really into all of the new comers and such.. It used to be a good 20-30 of us from back in the day on 6speedonline.com, Porsche forum mainly that developed as a "lifestyle" forum as well as other Marques of cars.. Then they branched out and created their own once 6speed was bought out and changed!

I still stay in contact with the owners of L4p and kick it when they are in NY, all good cool people despite what many see at first glance on there. Everyone is damn humble and down to earth, definitely a tight knit community

BTW Knick the owner of l4p is not just a big car/watch enthusiast, but has one of the sickest sneaker collections as well!!!!!!

Im about to buy that same all black nixon 51-30 chrono (but with the black steel band). Great looking watch, but i was wondering if anyone knows how durable the black coating is.

Anyone?

I've had mine for like 3 weeks, banged it up on walls & everything, but the coating on the dial & knobs is still PERFECT .
btw, hella compliments all day.

 

[illgt2]

Nixon has a great following even on the most elite watch forums.. Their PVD coating and quality is definitely above par, I wouldn't worry about i!

 

[smokey1212]

I can't tell if I like this style of watch, or freakin hate it.  It's definitely one of the two.  What yall think?

 

 

[rfx45]

I don't like how they did the numerals, they tried to be different and I get it but it just doesn't work to me.
Who makes it?

 

[smokey1212]

Some company called Android. I stumbled upon them when I was checkin out this blog.

Good stuff on keeping this thread alive fella's. I need to start checking out some of those other watch forums (when I have time). I'm in the market for a Nautilus SS Chrono. IllGT2 and RX, how you guys like that watch? For me, The attraction of them bringing back a classic design and it having a nice feel on my wrist. I'm tired of the 42mm and up watches.

More pics of the new Speedmaster

Sorry for the big pics

 

[across 110th st]

i remember someone saying something about maintenance...since you obviously dont go by mileage do you go by hours passed?

i would guess like every 10,000 hours...is that right?

 

[lazyj10]

I want/need that Omega.

 

[slab_diaz]

nothing too fancy, but what are your comments bout these Technomarines.
how do jelly straps hold up?

Technomarine Cruise




for their price, what could be a better alternative? tia

I was told you go by years.

 

[icebergslm]

Blasdiaz, i've had a Technomarine for about ten years on a black Jelly strap..It's my beater watch, it's super durable, and as a matter of fact I just had it on shoveling snow outta my driveway this morning.  Still looks brand new after all that time, and for some reason I get more compliments on that than any of my other watches.   Go figure.

It is by years and typically only for watches that have movements (mechanicals, automatics) although some high end quartz watches are recommended for service also.  Typically it's 3 to 5 years.  I've been told if I wear the watch and keep it wound..5 is fine.  If it is seldom worn and seldom wound 3.

You have stellar taste my friend! I myself , thought 15k was a stretch to spend on a watch, that at double is just nutty.. PRICE ASIDE, Patek is one of those manufacturers unmatched by any other, people don't see the value in it because of their simplicity, but they could not be more wrong.. There is nothing simple about Patek, and especially their movements and man hours put into their watches! On that note, I love it! And the size flows well on my wrist as well, I like my bigger watches but after wearing a 42mm from 44-45mm it just wears really well! I have a Cartier that I have had for a LONG time, very nice piece and it's so small it feels odd, but it's actually "normal".. Well I guess maybe not by todays standards LMAO, the biggest fad is like 48mm watches on up, wont see me wearing one!

Check out this piece, the Patek Aquanaut.. This is my buddy Jim's, another car friend, when I saw this piece? Jaw dropped, so beautiful! (again i'm a sucker for rubber straps) this watch can only be appreciated in person, pic's do no justice! BTW did I mention, he has a Nautilus to match??

Nutty collection, you have to see the others! If there is anything you would like to know about the watch that I obviously couldn't tell you from experience, I can ask him for you...

 

[illgt2]

Iceberg : Congrats!!! Omegas are really awesome watches, such a great great value, not to mention beautiful!

Across : Porsche Racecars log wear by "hours", and well other racecars and boats as well, not watches

Watches usually go by years as mentioned...

 

[icebergslm]

Thanks iLL, beautiful was the first word that popped in my mind when I saw it in the display case lol.  And I agree, in the luxury watch world, it's hard to find a better value than Omega. That Patek you have is crazy, i'll make it there one day.

 

[ac4three]

Good to see this thread going strong!

That's a beautiful Omega tommycap06. As mentioned, I would hold on to that regardless of its value. And nice keyboard too...
