zeitgeist57 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I never cared much for watches, until my wife bought me a Tag Heuer 1500 two-tone for a wedding gift. Aside from one battery, this watch has performed perfectly under harsh conditions every day of my life for the last 7 years. The sapphire crystal face has been scraped so many times while I was working on cars, yet it is absolutely flawless. Watches are definitely a "gateway drug" for men's jewelry. I agree with others here in buying something secondhand...like a car, why would you buy new when someone else can take the depreciation hit?

GRN96WS6 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'd think the issue with buying used is finding a reputable person and not buying a fake. I want a nice watch so bad but am not about to drop a few K on one personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I am into nice watches. Average watches. $200 or so. I have about 8 I rotate during the week. Also I have one watch I paid $2400 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want a everyday looking watch no matter what brand it is. This is why I like the look of Corums, they have a few that are different then alot of others.

Diamonds Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Corums don't hold value as they are a novelty watch. OP, This statement is a blanket statement and should be taken with a grain of salt. Some Corum watches use sapphire crystals and valjoux 7750 base movements. Check out the Admiral's Cup line. The bubble is a quartz watch (for the most part) and personally i believe it has zero potential from an aesthetical standpoint (ie - ugly as sin). My greatest suggestion would be to educate yourself on a watch forum. Yuo will lear nthat not all watches are created equal but at the same time a lot of what you pay for is the popularity of the brand name.... For instance, a breitling with base 7750 movement will cost around 4k where an Accutron Gemeni has base 7750 for about 300.00 bucks. The big question is, are you man enough and secure enough to admit that you want a high end watch because it's name brand bears a certain "sophistication and prestige"... I can. I love my breitling. I also love my Robert Uhren equally as much and there's about a 3,800 dollar price difference. I will say this, save up and get your "grail" whatever it may be, it will be one of the best feelings in the world when you look down at it while you are wearing it. BUT, before you DECIDE what that "Grail" is, DO SOME RESEARCH! Last point, let me comment on a few watch (popular) brands: Breitling: Best out there for IMHO (per budget), hands down. Size, style, prestige. Rolex: Played out small diameter watches that have no presence Officine Panerai: Ugliest watch design in the world, but a cult none-the-less. IWC: A great company with simple straighforward design Glashutte Original: Everything Rolex is NOT, G.O. is amazing. Tag Heuer: Everyone has one, and their designs are sub-par and dated Movado: Not worth what they cost, very dressy, look like girl's watches. Boutique Brands you have probably never heard of that are cool/trendy/unique: Sinn Bathys Bell & Ross Welder U-Boat Doxa Kobold More food for though although i don't agree with a few... this was posted on a watch forum recently...

Mojoe Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I picked up this gem last week, set me back a pretty penny, but I'm ballin outrageous right now so I said fuck and copt it anyway, check me out! http://www.skywatches.com.sg/casio_calculator_watch/images/DBC-610GA-1DF.jpg It gives me the date and time in an easy to read digital format. The watch is plated with the best 12 karat gold/ brass mix. It’s water resistant up to .914 meters (not sure how deep that is exactly, but whatever). The face is sealed with the finest plastic. The band is elastic and aluminum. The gold one is top of the line. I only wear it out to real nice restaurants like Applebee’s. I’m thinking about getting the black one to wear as a daily but I got stack some more chips first. Oh and in case you managed to miss it, this bitch has a calculator built into it. Now I can figure out elementary math problems like addition and subtraction without being bothered by thought. If you’re interested you can get them at any of the fine jewelry counters like K-Mart, Sears, Wal-Mart and Big Lots. I can appreciate your style sir. This needed quoted. I went with an ultra up to date cell phone that tells me the time. It's not for everyone, but I rock it and it works for me when I need to know the time.

Igor Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've been into watches ever since i was a little child, i got it from my father. I agree with all what s15driftking. My current everyday watch is a D&G Medcine Man and for special occasions ill bust out my IWC Aquatimer Split Minute, I highly recommend IWC if you can swing it. http://base1.googlehosted.com/base_media?q=http://www.neimanmarcus.com/products/mp/NMN0KEG_mp.jpg&size=17&dhm=2dbd1e81&hl=en <- Everyday watch.
