I bought/ well my wife bought me a Tag Aquaracer from this forum about 4 years (10 yr wedding gift, she got an eternity band) back. I'd love to buy more watches, for a time I had a big collection which I sold on this forum. I'd like a rectangular watch for wearing with suits and at work and keep the Aquaracer for weekends and travel/swim. But we just bought a new house and must buy new appliances and AC and keep paying daycare for 2 kids... My watch will have to wait. In the mean time I do have an old timex that my grandfather wore and an ESQ titanium chrono. My ife also has a diamond ESQ and a Tag Alter Ego with a dark blue face which I bought her for her Bday one year. I also have a pocket watch will I will some day get repaired.

I got a sweet deal on a Rolex while vacationing in Mexico.
Crap, just looked closer at it, it says "Rolox".

Trust me, I saw and drooled on both the Monaco and the Heuer. I'd really like a Monaco. If the price was right I would one day. but like I said $100 day for daycare and new house and appliances and our trip to San Fran next week. -

Daily drivers are Armani's. I have a few Breitlings I just keep in the drawer. As for the cars, I've had the BMW 745i, Mercedes S550 and will never own either again. Sold out for Audi, some of the best luxury cars out there right now. If I ever move on, it will be to a Jaguar XJL, Tesla, or Lambo Gallardo. I posted pics of the cars in a few threads, but my Audi is wicked.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

I have a Breitling Evolution two-tone, blue face, and a Rolex two-tone sub with champagne face and sapphires and diamonds for numerals. It was a limited edition. I wear one of them every day, and have enjoyed both immensely. Every time work seems to be a pain, they remind me that persistence pays, and hard work leads to rewards.
Both are worth a lot more than I paid for them, so the argument of cost vs. invest seems reasonable to me. Buy a Casio and it's never worth more than the day you bought it....a fine watch appreciates over time. I've owned many nice watches over the years, mostly Rolexes and Breitlings, and some Omegas, and have never lost a penny.My 7.4.4 DIY 4k Home Theater:

Thought this would generate a couple laughs. I hope it didn't come across as crapping on this thread(like someone I won't name). I'm a fan of watches myself but unfortunately not of this caliber.

No worries man... someday it'll happen. Heck, I haven't bought a new watch for I think 3 years straight then I bought the Heuer Silverstone in January after a looong drought. I convinced myself that I deserved a new watch at that time. But yeah, bills will always be there.
I got a few more pics to post.... the next one is the king of my collection - barely sees the light of day nowadays, it's the Rolex Daytona in steel with black dial. It took me a while to get this one and it is the ultimate of my collection. I wore it on my wedding day.

Boom... qft. Agree completely. And totally agree about the retention of value. Why let money sit in the bank when you can have it on your wrist? Right?

Here is the mighty Rolex Daytona. Always kept in the safe, but does come out occasionally.

Here's my grail end game type Rolex... Rose Gold Daytona. When I feel financially ready, it's on. It's on like donkey kong.
I mean the white gold blue sub looks great too... But something about the Rose Daytona is so baller.

Try rose gold... Atleast for my skin tone it matches very well. Yellow pops more.Magico M2, JL113v2x2, EMM, ARC Ref 10 Line, ARC Ref 10 Phono, VPIx2, Lyra Etna, Airtight Opus1, Boulder, AQ Wel&Wild, SRA Scuttle Rack, BlueSound+LPS, Thorens 124DD+124SPU, Sennheiser, Metaxas R2R

I have about 4 watches with rose gold, very popular the last 3 years or so. 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 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? -

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?
