Any new watches to share?
 

So just wondering if anyone has anything new on the wrist. I love watches and am always curious to see what everyone is sporting these days..
Go ahead, show it off. Lets see what's on those wrists.

I would but there's no way I can keep up with the likes of you, a true, well funded watch afficienado. You've got some badass wrist candy. (I'm talking about your watches! ;) )

I'm waiting for the right time to buy a Cartier Roadster Chrono. That's about as ambitious as I can get. My brother just got a Daytona and I'm not feeling it, especially for the price. :tsk:

Kev,

The Cartier Roadster Chrono is a bad ass watch. Are you going with the white or black face?

As far as my collection goes, it has not grown recently and I think I am done buying for a while. Other expenses have popped up (the Turbo did come with a bad ass stopwatch on the dash ;) ) Besides, I only have one wrist. Oh wait, that's not true. I have two wrists. Maybe I'll get a Flavo-Flav neck piece. Then I won't be so white and nerdy. ROTFLOL.

I do however still love to see what people are sporting on the wrists. It's the window shopper inside my head. I still lurk often on the watch forums just to see what everyone's crazy about. Your brothers Daytona is a smart watch. It's a great deal if it was bought at MSRP. I would agree that the premium on the watch is not worth it but to each their own.

There are two pieces that I am lusting after but will not pull the trigger on. One is a 1960 Rolex GMT w/ pepsi dial. Something about the 50 yr. old Rolex's that just screams "cool"..
The other is a watch I had in my hand 3 years ago in the store and did not buy. It has haunted me ever since. It's a Audemars Piguet 2003 Royal Oak City of Sails..

I guess I would consider buying one of these still should I find a primo condition one.. But they fetch big $$$.

But don't it just look cool :)

I've got UN Chrono. The IWC Portugese is the next one.

I have my nice solid Citizen ECO-drive :)

Mine has gold accents instead of blue/silver.

I have the Sinn 756 on my shopping list. I've seen Sinn's in a few watch stores, but not this particular model. I might end up having to order it from the UK. It's a nice clean looking watch with big numerals which is convenient for reading glass wearers like me. It also has a Valjoux 7750 movement.

Audemars Piguet watches are awesome, they are so plain but I just love the look of them. The next watch I buy is a Sports Collection Royal Oak Offshore, I would love the Gem Set though but its a bit too blingy for my needs(also ridiculously expensive). I have a Breitling Navitimer right now as my everyday watch with the black arabic dial with the stainless bracelet.

Nice to see people with a love of fine time pieces
Currently I have a few interesting pieces in my collection
4 Breitlings
50th anniversary Navitimer
Chrono Avenger
Aerospace
Chronomat Evoloution dual face

Girrard Perrigaux
Multi time Ferrari Edition

H Stern
Form Stainless

Tissot
Seastar 1000 (my dive watch)

and a few other lower end fashion pieces

I had a nice chrono my wife got me. I can't remember the brand. Had diamonds on the face, and I think mother of pearl face.

At a softball game (coaching my kids), one of the players hit my wrist on a practice swing, and shattered the crystal into 10,000 pieces. Bent the hands and warped the face too (good news is that it probably saved me a broken wrist).

My wife never told me what it cost, but I saw her crying when it happened.

So, at current, I'm wearing a black rubber sports watch I got at Sports Authority. She has another on simliar to the one that got smashed, and I don't know who that was either, but she only lets me wear it when there are no sports activities on the agenda (like on date night).
