This thread got me into watches. I migrated over from the S&P threads. Didn't know what an omega was until I got here. I was never exposed to watches IRL. My father is a multi millionaire and has been wearing a $200 two tone Seiko scratched to hell for the last fifteen years. He puts band aids on the inside of the bracelet so it doesn't pull his hair. I've tried talking to him about watches and he looks at me like I've got two heads.
I'd have a lot more money having never found this thread that's for sure.

The newest model has a ceramic bezel, and its dial supposedly changes shades [of blue] under different lighting.

Just got my Tissot PRS 516 (automatic) back.
I bought it in October 2014. Brought it back to the store to get it fixed since it started running fast 2 minutes / day.
After 7 weeks I finally got it back today. Fuark.
Anybody know what might have been the problem? The store said they didn't know what Tissot did to fix it. They did know however that it took so long because there were parts that needed to be ordered etc.

Sold my Bambino v2. Upgrading. Should I get the Orient Curator white dial or the Orient Vintage? The display back appeals to me but I'm not sure which one looks better.
Edit: or the white bambino v1? :/

The Hamilton insta matic and the spirit of liberty (find this one used) also come to mind.

I love fine wristwatches but I pretty much only like IWC and I can't afford that yet
Want a Portuguese 5001 (not Portuguesier) and/or Big Pilot so bad. Will not settle for anything less. Used to like the previous model of Aquatimer Automatics, esp. since they were cheaper than the Portuguese 5001 or Big Pilot, but I've outgrown that.
Not my pics but my dream watch. IWC 7 Day Portuguese ref. IW5001-07
Spoiler!
fuark want so bad.

Loving this thread, my first post here.
I have my eye on the Omega Aqua Terra master co-axial, datniche gave me some info on this before. Tried it on last month and I really like it.
Also, can any body tell me about this Bulgari Octo Automatic? I haven't seen much talk about Bulgari watches?
I don't know anything about it. It uses a Zenith movement? But it looks sweet kinda like an AP. Before I start researching what are your thoughts?
Two completely different watches I know, I really like the Omega, but this Bulgari has got me curios

I like the bulgari more than I thought I would, but I'd go with the Aqua terra. Preferably the 15000 gauss one with the black and yellow seconds hand. Going with the simplistic design I'd go with a Rolex explorer personally.

I doubt the 5001 is still in stock anywhere. There's one high end jewelry retailer in my city that is an official IWC retailer, maybe I'll check them out when I'm in the area (almost never).

I'll start off with the best bang for buck watch; only $10k for this beauty!
Same watch, different dial color

I also went to Lange, but even this simple watch is $36k

I also tried on a Panerai for the first time in my life. I was never a big fan of them, but slapping it on the wrist definitely changed my view a bit. They're beautiful watches, the finish of the in-house movements is quite nice as well (didn't get a pic of that).
And lastly I also strapped on the new James Bond 'limited' edition. The dial is kind of hideous, but the rotor is awesome! Dat price tho. It's $7.3k lmao

dat rotor and bullet style look sweet, but the front is a bit out there for my tastes.

New to the watch game. Thoughts on the sarb065? I've seen great reviews for it. Only Question is I'm not sure how the 40.5mm would fit my wrist as my wrist is relatively small? I'm a watch noob so any advice is appreciated!
