And they come with 11-year warranties. MrSlacker they also have outlets with previous year models for a whole lot cheaper, but they are b&m only.

My fossil (backup/beater watch) has been fine since I got it except that it scratched pretty easily.
I bought it at an outlet store marked down from $95 to $35

Yes. Overstock is your friend.
For those of you that were looking for watch cases, check out this cheap one:

(http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?page=proframe&prod_id=1180346)

It's only $35, and you can pick your flavor.
I think I may pick that up sometime soon... I only have 2 watches but that's a good deal...
and it can house the collection I will undoubtedly have in the future.

My latest baby - Omega Double Eagle. Sorry for the crappy pic. The numerals around the edge are NOT white, they just look that way because of the flash. They are etched out of the bezel. The dial is also silver, not white. Damn flash. In person it's amazingly beautiful. I love this watch.

 

[sygyzy]

How much was it at Radio Shack?

 

[Tyson]

No, no, NO!!! that's just my mouse pad, the only thing black I have that I can use as a background. J/K, no vehemence is really felt, despite the opening implication

 

[immtbiker]

I thought Radio Shack was expanding it's inventory, just to sell more batteries. Also, you'd get 10% off if you used their card.

Seriously though, you are destined to get the Panerai....I know it called out my name.

Have you seen this, it's a 1930's style watch, similar to the Pannie Black Seal (which is an homage to 1950's style watches). For about a grand it has a style that I really like:

Cool thread...you guyz have some bitchin' metal. Consider myself a tag fan. MSG submitted his kirium so why not I?

Notice first generation green and red logo.

Photoshop just for fun.

Interesting piece, has a similar square cushion case as my late 60's/early 70's Breitling Datora. This is currently consigned for sale through Aaron Faber Gallery on 5th Avenue.

Had my 21st birthday, my dad just gave one of his watches to me.
He told me when I was young, I said I wanted that watch from him. Quite frankly I don't remember, but oh well

Don't think I will wear it anytime soon though, I will stick with a TAG.

Jaeger LeCoultre

The dial can be flipped so it can work as a bracelet
