Some beautiful watches in this thread, congrats on wealth.
For members of poverty crew, are Orient Makos decent divers or would Seiko etc be more reliable/durable? Anybody with medium-small wrists got any pics?

Guys what do you think about Nixon watches. I'm currently torn between a Nixon and a Hamilton. I'm leaning towards the Hamilton as I have never owned one before and think it is a move in the right direction.

Long time lurker, first time poster
I just bought this Seiko mod created to look like a Rolex Milgauss (Dream watch but as a grad school student it won't be happening for a few more years). Mine will have the green sapphire crystal like the milgauss too. (Stock photo's from the website are below).
Just curious what kind/color straps to pick up for it? I was thinking about getting a grey or black leather strap and maybe a few NATO straps.
Will rep for any solid recommendations. Thanks brahs!

I would go black or a lightish brown leather strap. If you want to keep the Milgauss theme going, maybe try an Everest strap? They are used by Rolex owners, to keep the same essence of the watch.

You can't go wrong with a NATO, so choose what ever catches your eye.
The Rolex Milgauss would be a good present to yourself when you finish grad.

@poison, cool dude, I know you had your eye on that for a while, there is definably a cool uniqueness to that watch. I like the trident on the back of the second hand, and the large ovaled lume plot at 9 o clock.
@jimmysrustled pretty cool, had seen that a few times in the past couple of days in my feed. I think it would look pretty bitching on a cognac leather or camel colored suede strap with similar colored stitching to the dial. It would match without being over coordinated. The bracelet looks pretty cool tho imo. There are some pretty sweet looking stripped natos with blue and orange that aren't overkill.

just pulled the trigger on a 2254.50 on the "speedy" looking bracelet, looks to be in very good condition, complete with box/papers, pictograms, card sleeve, etc. Have had my eye on that watch for a LONG time.

Gaines' Wish List:
Spoiler!
Rolex "no-date" Submariner 114060
Rolex Explorer II
OMEGA Speedmaster "Moonwatch" Professional 3577.50 (From the Moon to Mars)
Precista Royal Navy Diver Re-Edition - PRS-82
Edit:
OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 2503.34
Who wants to pay off my credit card?
The gorgeous '3551.20' will remain in my collection (thanks, Matt!), but she could do with a strap upgrade
As for the Seamaster, I'm not so sure Tempted to sell it to a good friend of mine, heavily discounted as a personal wedding gift from his best man! He's had his eye on it ever since I bought it, you see. I'd snag the '2541.80' (quartz) in its place, paired with a black leather strap. Too soon to say.
Edit: Why isn't there a single gold piece?
Criminal.
Fixed.

I've been wearing my Rolex date as my everyday watch lately. Notice that it's been getting way more attention than the tag GC RS7 or my Omega speedy. Like almost no one recognizes those.
Making me really contemplate my next watch purchase…
Anyone else have the same experiences ?
Inb4 I only buy watches for myself etc etc

Came here after I bought my first watch about a year ago (invicta 1263 sea spider), became aware Invicta was not a good brand. Looking to spend about $100 on a stainless watch. Something casual to wear daily. Im pretty open to all brands, will buy one today. Misc brahs plis

If the only reason you're buying wristwatches is for the attention, why not stick with fashion watches (e.g. Michael Kors)? You'll get way more positive attention from one of those than a Rollie, believe me.
4-5k is an awful lot of money just for a few seconds of admiration. Unless you're CEO'ing , it really isn't worth it.
Also, where are the pics�

I was tempted to pick up a Bell & Ross last year. I haven't seen much talk about them in this thread, How do you like it?
Please post a wrist shot of the Breitling Avenger too.

I LOVE that breitling. IMO it's one of the best dlc watches to come out in quite some time. Surprised it hasn't gotten more attention thus far. I'd like to pick one up eventually, looking at a PAM and a JLC first though.

I really like the avenger. I bought new so it was pretty steep. Still newer version so the used market isn't quite there, at least around me. If I had to do it again I would probably have bought the 16570 first. If you can stand the smaller size at 40mm you can get a real proper piece and have all the value at the preowned price. The polar was $500 cheaper than the Avenger.
