Yup, the watch thing has been done lots of times. I love a nice watch. Here are 2 of mine:

Rolex Explorer II, white dial. Stainless steel.



Rolex Daytona, stanless steel, black dial. The daddy.

I have to admit that my obsession with watches causes some family strife.
Have a smallish collection, but only ever mechanical watches.

Funnily enough I use a nasty old Casio watch for diving, as I am scared Sh1tless about losing something expensive.

Tend to switch about a bit, but mostly wear either a Rolex, or a Franck Muller. Drive a 996 C4s, so love engineering in general

I suppose this make me sadder than most. Current list includes

Brietling Navitimer (Bi Metal)
Rolex GMT (Bi Metal) - 1978 plastic glass
Rolex Submariner (1982 transition model)
Rolex 1960 Oysterdate (Bi Metal)
Panerai 2000 PAN002
Franck Muller SS - Casablanca
Rolex 1920's Cushion Back
Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000
Rolex Mid size Oysterdate (bi Metal) = Wifes
Cartier Santos (bi Metal) = Wifes

Still missing a Patek (any), IWC Doppelchrono and Audemars Royal Oak, Breguet Type XX and Lange (1).

I did say sad.

I have a SS white face Daytona for 'normal' wear and a GMT master with black bezel for doing the gardening

That's all I need really.

Who said anything about need I tend to use the Sub for gardening as the GMT is getting on a bit. The Franck Muller is typically for day wear as it fit under my cuff.

Didnt want to appear sad but anyway..........I wear an 18ct gold Submariner as my daily watch but have :

Patek P Moonphase (my fav watch of all time)
SS Daytona (which I bought at list price from a UK dealer, which is unheard of as the waiting list is closed)

I really fancy a Zenith of some sort, will have to save up.

Yeah I've had a load of panerai's but TBH they all felt small after some of the bigger watches I was wearing at the time (including an AP T3! - sold and sadly missed) - I don't like the new Panny 47mm subs AT ALL - they look cheap and nasty. Even the offshore feels small these days! 46mm and up for me from now on!

I hate you.

Joe, there are a number of us on here that appreciate a bit of horology now and then. Unlike some of the other heathens.

My first 'proper' watch was a TAG 2000 classic and it's still 95% factory fresh nearly 4 years on. Just a great watch. I've actually been a bit disappointed with my Seamaster which has put various feet wrong since I bought it. Still wear it most of the time though.

It's a downward spriral though, and can be a very expensive vice.

Hi guy's,

Well here goes:

Tag Heuer Classic 2000
Tag Heuer F1 Chrono (not the new one!!)
Casio Baby G
Orsa Pro Diver

And my latest addition:

DOXA Sub750T Professional



My daily wearer is normally the Orsa or a battered Blandford diver (when I get round to changing the battery!!).

I know this is a car forum and i hope this does not come across at all materialistic but was just wondering if you lot are in to your watches as well?

LOL just search for watch threads and you will find loads. I'm looking at getting a Omega soon.

My Nixon snowboarding watch got water in the altomiter/thermostat whilst I was on holiday in italy a few years back so I went to bologna town to find a new watch, this was about 3 years ago now.

the Bvulgari shop in bologna had just got these new pirelli watches, made and serviced by Bvulgari.

this is the one I got, wasnt silly money and all the watch you will ever need (and doesnt have stoopid altameter or thermostats to go wrong like the last one)

I bought a beautiful Rolex watch from a street market in Malta last year. it was only £6, can't understand it, it looks worth at least £1200, do you think Rolex were selling them off cheap because they were misprints, 'cos mine said Rolax on the face??........
