    Still wearing my stainless and gold Rolex Submariner that I've had for over 35 years. 
    Let's see that bad boy? I don't think I'll have this one that long but I couldn't walk away from the price. 
    OK, It'll take me a minute to figure out how to post an image on here but I'll do it sooner or later.

    I have a couple Citizens and a Seiko Auto. My dream watch is an Omega Speedmaster, only since it told time on the moon.

    It could use a cleaning and a little polishing. Last time I had it cleaned cost $650.00 by an authorized dealer, so it is not a frequent occurrence.

    Huh? 
    Ol' Ron hasn't worn a watch even ONCE since I retired over 12 years ago! BTW that is just one of the terrific reasons to take early retirement if you can! Here's a hint...when the sun comes up it must be morning! And when it gets dark the sun must have gone down! Simple enough, huh? OH...and any time between sun rise and sunset is adult beverage time!

    Nice!  That is the classic Rolex.  I was kind of interested in a nice piece after reading this thread, but after reading a cleaning costs $650, I lost interest.  I have no problem with the initial outlay, but holy cow that maintenance cost would chap my hide.

    I can't speak for other brands but a Rolex has a 5 year warranty, the watch wouldn't be due for a suggested inspection and maintenance for 10 years. Also the cost associated is based on the complications of the watch. A simple one, like the Milgauss would be a lot less than let's say a date and other complications.

    Nothing fancy, but the latest is a classic.  The band is pretty much why I pulled the trigger on this impulse buy while getting a new battery for the work watch.

    If it were not part of my working, mobile, floating "gear check", counting pulses and respirations for assessments, frequent vitals for chemo, Rituxan, blood, post procedures, at the bedside on any unit, or wherever if needed, I probably wouldn't wear one, or have many quite honestly.  

    I have a 20 year old Swiss Army watch that gets deployed on special occasions.  2 other favorites were special achievement type gifts that will always hold a place.

    Seiko is my favorite all around work and casual brand, currently at 5 models.  Not one single problem.  They have taken beatins.

    Dude - can you feel your fingers at all?  She looks a little snug.

    I like watches. Right now I'm wearing this Seiko SKX on Maratac Zulu. It's a workhorse.

    It's good, that's the way it lyes, and fits my tapering 9" wrist, Tissot nailed that butterfly band.  When the salesman showed me that while lying it down and how it collapsed on itself, on the glass.  Was a good selling point in flexibility and comfort.  He did that with a Rolley next to it, this felt better, and was much cheaper.  I get the whole Rolex status symbol cool factor thing, they are really nice watches no doubt.

    Nothing worse than a loose band and constantly rotating a dangling watch.  One of the Seikos does it, bugs the crap out of me...needs a link removal.

    My advise (if you don't mind).  Be careful buying a Speedster. They have always been very popular and there are many out there in various condition.  Parts are also available especially the 69' Cal 861, so anybody with a little skill can "create" one.  As with anything buy from a reputable dealer.
    D'you think I could interest you in a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?

    Just picked a Rolex Milgauss Z-Blue. 
    Put the deposit down now just waiting for my income tax refund to pay the balance. Should have it in a few weeks. 



    THAT is one beautiful timepiece!  Wow

    Best thing about a Rolex is that itll hold value, appreciate and it always has a liquid market of ready buyers.

    I was looking at a used one but after the haggling down it was only $318 more to buy new. The used one was bought when it was released in 2014.

    Hard to beat a Seiko. They're so well made. The 4 o'clock crown is a surprisingly useful feature - it never digs into the back of the wrist. 

    OP that milgauss is an awesome looking watch! The colors are awesome.  I love the second hand. Congrats!

    back when I was a working stiff in banking I loved and went thru two of these Lassale quartz watches. They were an upscale watch made by Seiko. Sadly they quit making them just when I wanted one more. Now they can't even be repaired, but I've already said I want it on my wrist when I'm buried whether it's working or not.

    I have a few watches but the last one i purchased is a victorinox alpnach.  Self winding, massive diameter and i wear it to the office and to casual gatherings.  Itll go with anything..  Very reliable. Very thick and heavy substantive watch....

    I can see the attraction of a nice watch, but I haven't worn a watch for well over 30 years and am unlikely to start any time soon.

    Very very nice. I'm still beating around with a 20yr old Tag and a 6yr old Seamaster




    The Tag has taken a beating over the years. I never took it off.

    That is exactly it. It seems there have been several scoffs at this thread for what ever the reason.  Meanwhile those who scoff will go and buy something of significant value and in a few years it's worth half or less. Everyone has their vices, or once in a lifetime purchases and those that don't see a value in it turn up their noses at it.
