    I've got a jewelry box full of them, but I don't guess I've wore one since I got my first cell phone.....

    Just got into watches in May last year. Got a nice Tag Heuer Formula 1 diver's watch. Then picked up a series 800 Movado chrono with a black leather strap. Those lasted me for a few months till I bought another Movado chrono as a Christmas present for myself. It has a rubber band but looks wise, it's my favorite. So then I found another Tag Formula on eBay I got a good price on and when it arrived, it was disgusting and dirty. Returned it and spent another $50 to get a Tissot white face, brown band watch, a black and orange Seiko and a Silver faced Invicta. So I went from two watches to 6 in a month. I have a problem but yes, I change them depending on what I'm wearing and my mood. Style... Never goes out of style.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Thought I'd bring this thread back to life, it's been a while. Anybody happen to buy a new Invicta watch during their big sale a thon last weekend on ShopNBC? I noticed a couple of CP members have had some experience with this line of watches.

    Didn't get any at the sale a thon, but the Invicta 6350 is my daily work watch.

    I think I have had it 3 years now. No issues and no scratches on the crystal (except for a few minor ones that can be seen with a magnifying glass). Really pleased with the watch.

    i love the g-shock watches i have, wish i would have registered the warranty as they're getting pretty beat up at work, a new strap and rubber around the case would be awesome, but they might need to break to do that anyway... i had 3, one walked away at the gym, took it off when i got on the bench, my other two are the same in a different color, the g-shock glide, it has tides additional time display and 4 alarms, i love it as i know what time it is at home and here, and when we'd go out on the sound to boat, i knew the tide without getting online

    I wear a Maurice LaCroix for an everyday watch, I have about 45 watches in all... I go for the look and uniqueness of the piece, no two are ever the same. My two dress watches are a Tag Heuer Monaco and a Tag Grand Carrera. The rest are all kinds of brands and prices, the price or status is not the driving force for me, its the way it looks and feels.

    I no longer wear a watch, or any metal jewelery of any kind.

    But I do have a nice burn scar on my arm from a metal watch band completing a 220volt circuit once.

    I have a Citizen's eco drive titanium with perpetual calendar. I've had it about 6 years and it has never failed me. The calendar is nice because you set it according to leap year and you never have to change the date on it.

    I am currently wearing my Tissot PRC200 on a Hirsch Golfer strap. Sometimes I switch to the Tissot bracelet, depending on my mood.

    I am actually in the process of picking a new watch as a present to myself for my graduation. I am trying to decide between the Tissot Seastar 1000 Limited and the Glycine Combat sub.

    That Tissot is a beauty Z, I didn't realize they have such a rich history with Hollywood celebrities over the decades. Does this have the Swiss ETA co1.211 engine? They make some very fine movements.

    Agreed on the Tissot Zeros, that's a SHARP watch. I really like that band, and am not usually a huge fan of leather straps.

    I almost picked up another Breitling a few weeks back, but I'll never own a house if I keep buying toys instead of socking money away...

    Thanks guys. This PRC200 is the older model that is quartz, but they do have a new PRC200 automatic that uses a ETA C01.211 movement.
