What watch do you wear?

leoncc · 26 Jul 2013 at 23:09

i got my dad this for christmas last year as he is a big fan of red bull and f1 in general.

i'm rather jealous but watches just don't suit me :3

I remember seeing one here a quite a while back and I thought it was yours. My memory must be going.

Looking at getting a black PO for my 30th. Seems to be a popular choice around here, but is there any alternatives? I'll have to stick to 42mm as I have skinny wrists

Got this for my birthday.

Feel like a men amongst God's with some of the watches posted.

There are lots of Seamasters - http://www.omegawatches.com/collection/seamaster/catalogue

Personally I have this (41mm) I have skinny wrists too. - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=24660729&postcount=5149

Not sure if they have the PO in 41mm, maybe just 42

Its a nice watch. Think my dad has the same one, or very similar. Not for me, its too big

He wants the Speedmaster Moonwatch but isnt too fond of the ~3k price tag

Anyone on here have a Patek Philippe? Any reason they are so expensive? I had a look in the window of Berrys the other day and saw one for 68k :eek:

Have had this a month or so now and it is a keeper for me, quality is extremely good for the price tag

Yeah seem to be just 42mm - forgot to link to the one I was thinking of:

Or with the other numerals:

Not a fan but each to their own

What make, model and how much?

Skidder · 27 Jul 2013 at 11:07

Precista PRS50 no longer in production but they were selling for £395, I bought for about £200

It's an homage to the early 50 fathoms (as you probably know)

Yeh, I was just looking a few mins ago actually. Personally I prefer the one without orange numerals. Its smarter

Yeah that was the way I was leaning

This is turning into Omega fanboy thread. Other watches do exist chaps

For £200 it does look very well made...

That's a modern fifty.

daz · 27 Jul 2013 at 17:21

I'm eyeing up either a Speedmaster or Montbrilliant. Any views on either of those?

TommyV · 27 Jul 2013 at 19:38

a few clicks away from ordering;

Will I get a whole load of importation tax fees? Never ordered from abroad in this regard before.

New cheap strap fitted to my Skyhawk AT. As I said before, replacement for the steel strap. Now I do like it! Going to ask for same colour Hirsch for my birthday in October

The Flash makes it look a bit brighter than it looks for real though...

alexisonfire · 28 Jul 2013 at 18:45

Really loving the SKX with PVD zulu on at the moment, so comfortable, nice and light and no need to worry about scratching up a metal strap!

Really pleased with the Laco, wears bigger than the 36mm would suggest but with the fashion of dinner plates on wrists, I'm really happy they offer these for men with girly wrists that want something less...in your face.
Think I'll be looking at the CW 61 (38mm) for my next watch, released in September.
