Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Oh Man - I'm into watches ! Here's my Kawasaki Racing edition Casio G-Shock that I found on e bay for something like $127.00 ...matches the Lime Green ZX9 perfectly ...what I don't like about my G-Shock watches is that the bezel is tall, doesn't hide under cuff very well at all, always caught on the sleeve ...I paid $50 for the black G-Shock but I think they're going for $75 these days ...cool watches though ...

Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I bought this watch new over thirty years ago for exactly $52.00 - everything still works on it, replace battery and band a few times, but I wear this almost daily, nice stainless steel weight, very durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 $75 Bulova - nice stainless steel weighted feel - thin enough that its under the sleeve with no fuss......here's another one of my Bulovas $112... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Lets get into watches - I'm a toolmaker which this whole toolmaking trade evolved from watch makers, I could go into more detail but for everyone's sake I won't - lol... Basically though a mechanical movement has all the tiny gears and such - nicer ones have rubies (jewels) as bearing for longer wear. This is my 22 jeweled Russian made Poljot "Strela" that I paid $275.00 for, I haven't seen much less than $475 these days ...buttery smooth leather strap against the wrist, but nylon against sleeve ...I LIKE this watch ALOT but I've refrained from wearing it too much since I've seen their prices climbing, has the exhibition case to be able to see the movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 My EL automatic with 26 jewels, the more jewels means more accuracy.. Paid $375 for this limited edition (#26 of 30), then I bought the blue leather strap and stainless clasp for another $125 to really set it off!!...this relatively a cheap watch in the world of watches, but it's a good cheap watch due to its Swiss made automatic movement - and it glows in low level light conditions...perfect case size at 44mm...watches/motorcycles/photography maybe not in that order but those are the things that are most interesting to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Here's my Invicta Retro grade chrono at the controls of a Mori Seiki CNC vertical maching center ...another one of my Invicta diver watches.. Another of my Invicta divers ... I have six Invictas but Ill stop for now until I get a photo of my Metorite dialed 26 jeweled auto , beautiful watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limenine9r Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Here's a cool beater watch , thin enough to slip in out from under sleeves, stainless steel weight has good feel, I've repolished this case when it gets too banged up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that watch tremendously.... Poljot decided to remake that 1950s style watch that the Russian Army had issued to its pilots...

NinjaNick Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Holy shit Limeniner! Watch addiction? Damn. Side note: I didn't know watches were still popular since cell phones became big in early 2000's. I rarely see anyone with them anymore except the older guys. I'm 35, so I notice mostly on 45+ age group these days it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 If I had deeper pockets, I would have more watches. I like the look of the 3 dial watches, Omega Speedmaster, breitling navitimer and the Bentley GT.A few years ago, in Vegas, one store had a used omega speedmaster schumacher edition with carbon fiber face and bezel for $3500. I don't have a buget for a watch over 1K, but they are sweet to look at.I can only imagine the skill and detail involved to design and assemble a high end watch.

Hailwood Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 another cheap beater - Seiko auto snagged off eBay for less than $75...I grabbed that exact model from a holiday sale recently for pretty cheap and really like it. I've always enjoyed watches, but have only recently started learning about them.My wife got me a Seiko SSA023 automatic for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. I'm fascinated by automatic movements and I really love the exhibition face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
