Posted July 5, 201212 yr i've gotta suspect the appreciation for quality and craftsmanship we share for jdm gear must spill over into the watch world so i thought i'd find out. i'm sporting my all time fav...ulysse nardin marine perpetual. so...what are you wearing today???
July 5, 201212 yr oh yes indeed..... this subject is at the forefront right now of my ponderings im not convinced about this one i got recently , it sutis, but i dont really like it . IWC ingeneur planet earth big ltd. no 22/1000 i like to look at it , and it looks good . but im not swinging with it. got my peepers on others . Edited July 5, 201212 yr by supo67
July 5, 201212 yr For me it's either my JLC or Omega Speedmaster Moon watch( glass both sides) The Speedmaster lives in the Golf Bag as I wear my watch left handed( on my right wrist, and I just CAN'T play golf with it on my wrist!) The JLC only comes out every now and again!!.... Pics added this evening!! Edited July 5, 201212 yr by DaleUK
July 5, 201212 yr I'm one of those that don't wear one lol.. Only piece of bling in my body is a single diamond stud earring & of course my wedding band lol. A few watches, gifts, all gathering dust.
July 5, 201212 yr I love watches....have been collecting them for over 15 years !!! If i ever get a chance to go to my safe deposit box, ill snap some pics !! * We should definitely have a watch bst forum on this site !!!!!
July 6, 201212 yr Metal allergy denies me any kind of jewelry unless it's at least 22 carat gold, silver or copper. Even very good plating leaves marks on my skin. Friends used to use me to test gold necklaces. Shambles

July 9, 201212 yr Damn that sucks Carlo....thats why i dont keep any watches at home besides one or two.....its a pain in the butt to go to the safe deposit box but its much safer.....hope u had insurance bro ! Nope no insurance. who would think to insure watches in a safe. oh well lesson learned. had a new Vc overseas chrono inside. never trust anyone!
July 9, 201212 yr 1 Tag 1 Rolex = 30K I'm done haha. you wouldnt be sporting a DD or Daytona precious metal?
July 9, 201212 yr Author Nope no insurance. who would think to insure watches in a safe. oh well lesson learned. had a new Vc overseas chrono inside. never trust anyone! wow! did they take the whole safe or figure out a way in?
July 9, 201212 yr wow! did they take the whole safe or figure out a way in? it was in a safe/watchwinder. sized like the ones they have in hotels. it was an inside job. the perp is in jail, unfortunately this has been planned well in advance and items were fenced off within the hour.
July 9, 201212 yr I'm sporting a brit. It was this or a stainless daytona, everyone told me go with the daytona but I wanted modern. Watch snobs hate the bezel but that was the main reason why I bought it. It came with a stainless strap but later I swapped it out for the black alligator band like below.
July 9, 201212 yr For years I was a big watch collector, but between golf and other activities, just too much work to constantly put on and take off, so now I simply dont wear one. Same for the younger generation. Between constantly knowing the time on their cell phones and computers, most of them, at least in the US, view watches as very old fashioned.
July 10, 201212 yr Author wore this today (see...i'm not a mechanical snob!). it's nice to know titanium isn't just for drivers! there's a story that some of you who know what this is may find humorous. i was flying back home to the sf bay area last year and as we were boarding the pilot was still standing outside the cockpit door. as i shuffle in he gives a nod toward my wrist and says "nice, do you fly?". i didn't get it at first until i checked to see what he was gesturing at. i looked down and said, "oh...no, but i wore it just in case you don't either." there was an awkward silence for a split second and i had just started thinking either he didn't get it or didn't appreciate my sense of humor when we both started laughing.
