swiss watches

If you want to get a nice watch, I would go with a Bulgari. It is a much nicer watch, everyone doesn't have one, and they isn't that much more expensive.

 

Wow I haven't had a watch since I got my first celly.
My last watch looked something like this

 

Are you sure you don't want a spinner watch?





Just like the spinner wheels on your car, you can be reminded of your success with this spinner watch!

 

I got a movado - standard issue for indian guys


got the ladies one for the wife as well.

 

my dream is to one day own a breitling or cartier timepiece (thats the rich/fancy way to say watch)

 

I've been rocking the same Pulsar for 10 years. The scratches across the glass give it personality.

 

If you are going to buy a big automatic you will want to get a winding case as well.

 

cause if not, 48 hrs later (in the case of a rolex) you gotta restart your watch.

i have my eyes on one of these, though the one i want has a silver dial, and blue sub dial.

 

That's what I wear.




But i'm looking for a Yao/Tiger/Jeff Gordon/Maria Sharapova type of watch.

 

those brietling (sp*?) watched look pretty tight.

i want to find a watch with a leather band. have a stainless already.

anyone have any suggestions beside the brand i stated above?

 

I actually live in Zurich - have been here for close to 10 years. Bought this one a few years back (for a hefty $5.5k) as a nice little novelty item for the time I leave:



Then went to Thailand a couple of years ago and came across these two "swiss watches" and they are all I wear (both for $100):





lesson learned!

 

You got ripped off if you paid $100 for those counterfeit watches. You can haggle and get each for around $5-10 around those parts of the world.

The reason you want a swiss watch is because of high craftsmanship and close to accurate time-keeping. You are getting neither with those fake ones.

 

to clarify, it was $50 each. And, I disagree - did a bit of research beforehand. counterfits actually have their level of quality as well. These two watches have worked perfectly over the last two years and have served their purpose in having a watch to beat around in and you dont have to worry if they break down.

That's why I forked out the cash for the IWC - though i dont sport it around anymore apart from "special occasions"

 

Dude who needs watches when you can have this

 

this is what i have except that my strap is way darker, almost black. it only cost me 150, and it has a limited life time warranty. thin, light. im thinking of getting a 2nd pair cos i wore it once playing sports and now the straps kinda smell. although 1 girl i know thinks it smells kind of nice (?)

 

you Can just change the strap

 

i've got a nice baume & mercier alligator strap watch i wear out on more formal occasions... it was about $1200 or so. i like it.

wish i didn't ruin my kreiger... really cool stainless steel/gold lunar chronometer.

 

Don't buy a Breitling - they break and are not cheap to fix. I know this.
