I remember seeing a watch show on tv probably 8 or 9 years ago with Tim Temple and the rep. from Vostok(?). They were showing a beautiful rose gold watch, thickly plated in 18K rose gold. I knew from that moment, someday, yes, someday, I was going to own a nice rose gold plated watch. Joey, that Rolex Daytona is gorgeous. For some reason some of your other pics won't show on my screen, maybe they are too big?
I'm going to repost some with photobucket...
Yes I agree, the RG Daytona is so killerMagico, JL, Emm, ARC Ref 10 line, ARC Ref 10 phono, VPI, Lyra, Boulder, AQ Wel, SRA Scuttle Rack, Bluesound -
Nothing fancy here, I picked this up a few years ago, heavy watch, lots of dials. Citizen Blue Angels watch. LCD is off as battery is removed. Nice watches guys. Thanks.

I'm with you...I have been rock'n the same stainless steel/blue indiglo Timex watch for the last ten years or so. My wife bought me a nice looking fossil "blue" watch back when we were dating and still in college the first time. It stopped working after about 6 months. I still got it but its still broken. Before that I had another Timex indiglo with a leather strap. That one never let me down either, but the strap wore out. Your car needs gas btw.You all and your fancy ****. Check out my time-keeping device and ride... #swag.

Hey Jeremy, nice Timex indiglo, like the old 60's ad goes, Timex, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. That Fossil Blue you have is a quartz drive right? Did you try replacing the battery by chance? -
Love the blue, as well as the black and orange ZLT. Nice choices!2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champ

While watching the financials this morning on CNBC, they ran a spot from London where they were exhibiting the various new Apple watches and taking pre orders.I believe the actual first day of sale on some of the models will be April 24th in the UK, and other models follow in May and later? Various prices for different models, but it sounds like the no frills watch is about $350.00 .

I have been kind of on the look out for a decent gym watch. The ones from Nike and Fitbit seem to have a lot of features but I don't like the idea of having to charge a watch every few days. I suppose they are all that way though. I don't know that I need it to track everything I do, but I would like it to be lightweight, durable, and not stink after a week in the gym (no leather/cloth straps ). any suggestions?

Could you go with a silicone or polyurethane strap watch?

Timex Ironman models or Casio probably have numerous to choose from. I've never had the pleasure to own one, but ceramic watches would be another option for the gym etc...

Promise some pics for Polkie2009...
Here are some pictures of my Rolex Sub. Photos are horrible... likely because this was in 2008 and I had the first gen iPhone.

Next up are photos of my Omega Planet Ocean. Lovely watch, I bought it because I saw Daniel Craig wore it. Honest.... lol...

Next up, Panerai 312... had a rubber and leather band. In these pics, rubber band was on because of the ocean.

Next up, Panerai 292 black seal... no PIG dial however. That was a rarer Pam, the pig dial made it much more expensive too.

My wedding watch - the Rolex Daytona in steel, black dial.
Also, a shot of my cufflinks during my wedding... they were awesome!

My Rolex Milgauss, one of my favorite colors is green... and I love the green crystal on this one. Love the orange lightning bolt too. The orange markers are very nice as well.... as well as the orange numbers on the periphery. The black dial is matte... not shiny. Best view is from an angle, the green crystal really shines.

My Rolex GMT II Ceramic. The ceramic bezel is shiny and appears grey in some views. It also has this mirror finish that looks really cool in certain lighting. I like the green 3rd hand, I also like the 24 hour bezel. This is my favorite watch to fly with.
PS
I also included a pic of the green Milgauss again... very nice in the sunlight.

Next up is the TAG Heuer Silverstone... newest in the collection. Very nice. I like the cushion case, but I also like how the case has different curves and brushed and polished sides. The blue is very vintage.
I bought this watch because I saw it on the movie Rush and was worn by Nicky Lauda.
Also have some pics comparing it to its cousin the Tag Heuer Monaco...
The Monaco is popular because it's the "Steve Mcqueen watch".

Ok wristwatch dumdum here, what's that extra green hand for if I can prove my ignorance on the subject?
The extra green hand is the 24 hour GMT hand. Basically it moves at 1/2 the speed of the regular hour hand. With a 24h hand, the regular hour hand "jumps" hour by hour when you adjust it via the crown while the green 24h remains static... if that makes sense. The jumping hour by hour is so that it's easy for you to adjust time zones when you land. You adjust the regular hour hand to your current time zone and leave the green 24h hand to the original time zone.
This allows you to track 2 time zones simultaneously. Makes it easy when you're say on vacation and wondering what time it is back home.Magico, JL, Emm, ARC Ref 10 line, ARC Ref 10 phono, VPI, Lyra, Boulder, AQ Wel, SRA Scuttle Rack, Bluesound -
I have one of these, nothing special:

This thread has moved into The Twilight Zone. There are too many dials and other gizmos on most of these watches. This is the best picture I can find of my last watch (mine wasn't solar), and it was last used at least 10 years ago. Even with this watch, the tick marks bothered me. All I really need on a watch are the two hands.
Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
Sony XA-5400ES SACD; Pass XP-22 pre; X600.5 amps
Magico S5 MKII Mcast Rose speakers; SPOD spikes
Shunyata Triton v3/Typhon QR on source, Denali 2000 (2) on amps
Shunyata Sigma XLR analog ICs, Sigma speaker cables
Shunyata Sigma HC (2), Sigma Analog, Sigma Digital, Z Anaconda (3) power cables
Mapleshade Samson V.3 four shelf solid maple rack, Micropoint brass footers
