Wow, some really nice watches in this thread!

Here's my Certina, like it a lot

Love those leather-banded tachymeters, trying to decide between the Tissot V8 and the Citizen Perpetual myself

Yeah, they're both quartz, but I'm still saving for my first Rolex

If the Tissot comes with a black face i would take that one. It has a cleaner design. It doesnt tell the date though.

The Tissot only comes in white and the Citizen only comes in black.
The Tissot does have the date, its at the 6 o'clock position.

I'd take the Tissot. It's much nicer IMO

The Citizen looks too cluttered.

I'm a big fan of Damasko watches myself. Personally saving up for one. Definitely over-engineered elegance.

Oh you're among friends, my husband has a Sinn 356 Flieger II and I have the 356 UTC. Sinn... Damasko.. it's all good.

Ouch! I was just bit hard by the watch bug!

I've read the thread almost to its entirety, but have few ideas for a simple looking low-cost watch. I like the kind with the really simple-looking faces, but I'll accept any recommendations. I also have relatively thin wrists as many have also mentioned...if that matters at all.

So, simple looking, keep it cheap, twig wrists...any ideas?

Thanks

When it comes to my personal gadgets...I usually prefer to have something that's unique and different that I know I will rarely see other people wearing or using. I like my things to be unique and exotic. The overall package of the Blue Samurai just stood out as being a unique watch unto itself, with the way the bezel has a combination of gray marks alongside blue marks. The black version OTOH just looks very basic and simple...like a black frame/black lens sunglass combo, something I would never stand for. So without a doubt, blue was the version I liked the most. I don't like bright colors either on watches so orange/yellow faced watches are out for me....I know the Samurai has a orange faced version.

I think you'd enjoy Skagens. I happen to have one that I'm looking to sell, PM me if you're interested. It's this one:

I am so petty....................

I also have an Omega Constellation, an Omega Seamaster, 2 Tissots, a cheap plastic Tag, and my grandfather's WW2 Wittnauer.

I am particularly fond of Cartier....

Cartier 21 Chronoscaph

Cartier Pasha Chronograph 38mm

Cartier Pasha Seatimer

If any of you want to sell your seamaster/submariner type watch...PM me what you've got to offer!

 

[plainsong]

I didn't have the best lighting, but in real life, that Dimodell Chronissimo strap changes the character of the watch from a cute little tool watch, to bad@ss. You can't fully tell here, but it really looks sick in real life.

And bonus points for being a strap I'm actually not allergic to.

Anybody know if/when the new Rolex Milgauss is arriving in stores? My inner Sci-Fi geek must have a watch with an orange lightning bolt second hand.

Just bought this off eBay:
