[QUOTE=Jetworks;4500283]+1 to what SAR said, and kudos on the watches. Really nice, guys.:yes:

White watches are teh ghey, ceramic, platinum or otherwise. White is a wimmens color, just like cars.

Saw a mid-size used Aqua Terra for sale, thought of you right away. It sold in a flash.[/QUOTE]

Aww thanks.

I am going to wait for my year end bonus and then take the plunge:yes:

It's amazing how far you can stretch a public sector pension.

;)

Bonhomme Richard · 06-25-2012, 04:01 PM

I really like the new line of Bell&Ross vintage pilot watches -- the standard one and the pocket watch iteration. That pocket watch is gorgeous.

JW, I like the mesh bracelet on that Seamaster. Nice touch.

The pension didn't kick in yet. When it does, then you'll see some real splurgin'! I'll be rolling in it, ROLLING I TELL YA!!!:D

I used to wear 2 (GPS & watch), but the Foretrex fixed that. I also have the dial turned in because i destroy the dial by smashing into everything when it's faced out.

Kudos to your Grandfather.

Thank u thank u...I would try to get more stories from him but his mind is pretty much gone now. But taking care of his house means instead of rent I can buy some game tix!

I'll spam the thread with my (small) collection, I guess. Changing the straps often (as I do) really adds a new look to a lot of watches. I'll spare you all the multiple shots of the same watch on different dead animals.

The DOXA and Seiko are my current beaters (along with a G-Shock). Just got a Seiko aviator watch, too. The two on mesh have Omega bracelets that go with them, as well as some nice OEM rubber straps. The vintage gold one has a stainless (not pictured) counterpart with a textured silver dial. I split about 12 different straps between them. The first one has about 8 different straps, from brown alligator to a perfect blue crocodile. Next up for me will be my first Breitling, the Superocean Heritage 42.[/QUOTE]

Even though I don't wear a watch, I would wear the **** out of any of those - but only if someone else would buy it.

That Aqua Terra is discontinued. My version doesn't come up for sale too often, but the non-chronograph pops up now and again.

I have the original bracelet, along with the OEM rubber.
