Go for it, if you read this thread you'll know we love all sorts of watches.

(Also, my Stowa is only a $600 watch )

post pictures! this thread is about Watches costly or not so costly..rare and not so rare..who cares?

The more I look at it, the more similar the movements in the Stowa and the Patek look similar. Probably just because they are both hand wind small second movements. The Stowa is an ETA Peseux 7001.

AP Royal Oak is my "dream" watch.  I really need to start putting money aside because other purchases always get in the way.
 
Not much of a watch person. I only plan to own a Royal Oak + an IWC and that would be all.  Glad I don't have a deep desire to collect watches
 
Currently, I am only sporting these.  Well worn and beaten.

^ For some reason I can't figure out if I like these or not....it's like the one on the left has a nice band, the one on the right has a nice face. Weird. 
 
Kudos Arm, loved the vids nice motion I need to take some vids with my phone 

 
Edit: Darnit thought I was going to be the next page.

that same Tissot T-Race was my first watch and then she died and Tissot wants $500 to replace the movement in her...i need to find a watch repair dude who could do that for like $50

the Patek and Lange would be my end all..when i get really old though. What do you wear on a daily basis? love the collection..what else do you have?
 

 
Sadly, I don't any of them anymore.  I would have to say that my favorite was the Patek 5116G.  It's the special enamel dial edition of the classic Calatrava.  It looks MUCH better in person than in photos.  I thought the hobnail bezel would bother me but it is really very quiet and discreet when viewed live.
 
This one got the most wear out of the collection:

Trust me, you never won't be in the company of more expensive watches. :rolleyes: Not on these forums.

@Revo, Heh 

 
@Bh, Congrats nice vids got a link?

Yeah...I was very impressed by the A. Lange & Soehne so I decided to look them up to see how badly I can't afford one...I was right. Never in my lifetime. I think the cheapest one I saw was $13k up to $126k. I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw that.
 
Anyways...here is my intro into the world of watches...I am still searching for a band...the stock one looks alright but is a bit snug on my wrist...I can only get to the second hole from the end and that is a little too tight but I don't like being on the last hole. I found a guy that makes some very nice looking leather bands from old vintage military gear and another guy in the UK that makes some excellent looking leather straps...bad thing is both costs more than the watch...lol

How did I not see that one it is nice wonder what's the price...

Referring to the Raymond Weil? Not sure what my parents paid for it (They bought it for me as a Christmas present), but I believe the same model and similar models are going for $500-$600 from vendors if you look around. I believe MSRP is closer to $1000.

As long as you don't sell it later The Raymond Weil stuff is good to great for the money, I remember going bonkers over the line up years back in Vegas and ending up with one (posted in this thread awhile back). They don't have the name or history of most Luxury brands but the fit and finish along with the ETA movements is awesome. I would put them between Oris and Baume & Mercier in price, with B&M you get more COSC spec stuff though. Wear it and keep it forever as i tried to trade mine in or sell it in the past (mine is on eBay now again) though.

Oh, I intend to hold onto it! I think it's almost an alignment of the stars: the first good watch my parents bought me was a black faced Pulsar Chronograph 10 years ago. 5 years now, I've been looking for a chronograph that appealed to me as much as that one, and wouldn't you know it, its my parents again who find it!

Gosh the third one needs to be on my wrist.

That looks stunning in real life!
I just did a surf of the web and found this site from Germany. The page should be XL length 21mm which I think is the lug width of yours!
