swiss watches

I read a story a while back about how the watch industry is dying since kids these days don't really wear them anymore. Reason is they get their time from things like their cell phones, and mp3 players instead.

 

I have two swiss Watches.

I have a Rolex Yacht Master



and a Swiss Army chronograph



....I love em both.

The Swiss Army keeps better time, but the Rolex is SWEET looking.

An oldie but goodie....the Submariner.

The Seadweller is sweet,but if the Sub works for your size and look run with it.

It takes a licking but keeps on ticking.You can bang this sucker into everything and it just keeps on a rollin....stainless steel with the black face.

 

I'm not a huge Rolex fan, but here is some advice for you if you want to buy a one.. Stay away from the 31 jewel movements the 44 movements are a much better ticker.. Also, some of the better Rolex prices you can find online are HERE

Don't forget your automatic will need to be serviced every few years and that will add to the total cost of the watch..

Also, don't be fooled into buying a high end watch with a quartz movement, the idea of buying an intricate time peace is just that, an engineering marvel not a candy coated cracker jack movement..

Good luck and have fun!

 

They are nice but don't hold their value all that well, because there are so many of them out there.

Also, the bevel of the watch is plastic on that brand and tends to break.

I'm a James Bond fan and was looking for a real quality watch, so I bought myself an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I love it. It's got a timeless look about it. At 45mm it's about the biggest watch out there too.

 

Sylar?

 

That's a silly thing for a watch to have.

 

Got a super deal on this Tag. Brand new for $415.00, through a connection at the jewlery store.

 

ive got a stainless tag. with a black face. spent close to 2000 on mine though.

 

man i checked that site and the watch i bought about 3 years ago is about 400 less on there .

anyways i was looking at other ones. what is the difference from quartz ones and other ones? do quartz last for less time or break more often? thanks

 

Watches are a vice of mine though I haven't bought a new one
in a while:

Cartier Santos Stainless
Bvlgari Aluminum
Tachmeister 1937 (WWII U-Boat Watch)
Rubber Super sized Swatch (for running)
Rolex Daytona stainless

I'm actually giving my Santos away and getting the
Santos 100, which is gorgeous.

 

Self-winding (Automatic) LINK

Quartz LINK

What it boils down to is quartz keeps better time and runs on a battery and crystals with little to no moving parts.. An automatic watch runs off of the motion of your wrist and is made up of very complicated and precise parts.

 

i got a $10 watch from target that does the same thing as all of these! i think you guys are getting robbed

 

both my folks wear a santos (well, my mom actually has two).... very nice, classic watches.

i still want to get a breitling.... navitimer or perhaps an evolution. omega's seem real nice as well.

 

you should splurge and go with a patek phillippe. It should only set you back a couple hundred grand.

 

I like IWC Watches, here is the one I wear on a regular basis.

 

Make sure you look into Ebel. Very elegant and smooth organic design.

I have one and its very good for everyday or formal wear.

Extremely durable too.
