Well here is the bad boy I picked up in Vegas last Weekend.. Not much of a fan of Raymond Weil but when I seen him and tried him on I could not say no..
I always loved the mother of pearl face on a watch and I was looking for a "dress" watch at the time so..

My next watch will be either a Corum (love the lucifer watch they have),Baume & Mercier (Capland S is all me), Panerai, or another Tissot..
what kills me about the Raymond is I can not wear it to work cause I dont wanna Scratch it..so I put it on as soon as I get home everyday..lol

I always wanted one since I layed eyes on it last year, And with the new Raymond Weil I have I need something I can wear with jeans and is less flashly..but I wanted a huge chunk of steel on my wrist...so

I am so eyeing the Panerai and breitlings, kwarth and other owners of these peices are not helping me in any way...amazing looking watchs guys!

My collection keeps growing (up to 25 watches now) but here's my most recent and current favorite:

That isn't my picture but better than what I could put together. It's a Nomos Orion with a saphire back to showcase the movement. Loving it

Expensive watches? I'd just break one

I got this for refereeing soccer though

It's pretty solid, and it has that all so important count down timer that I need as a ref.

Started out with Rolex GMT II masters, both broke, I was riding Harleys and playing drums back then so perhaps the percussion and vibration was too much. ( in the early 80's it wasn't cool to ride a hog, only outlaws and cops)
Went to Omega Seamaster Auto, not bad but needed service every 5 years.
Gave the Omega to oldest son ( if it's good enough for Bond it's good enough for him ) Currently wearing a Seko ( Japanese) navy boy dive watch with the pepsi bezel. It's inexpensive but tuff, keeps pretty good time too.

I got this watch when I was in 7th grade (it's almost 30 years old)..at the time it was a ton of money..I would go to the jewelers everytime I got paid and give him some more of my money, till eventually I could take it home..

This watch was with me through my 8 year stint in the Navy, has traveled all over the world..It's been through countless batteries, been smacked around and generally abused...I can honestly say, "it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin," hehe.

Got this one at the Navy Exchange in Brunswick, Maine around 1990 or so. Me and me wife (girlfriend at the time) saw it there and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it didn't stand up to my punishment very well..Quit working a few years ago..I wonder if it's worth fixing? Needs a new bezel and internal repairs...it runs on a battery although it looks vintage.
