Post pics of your watches!

Having enjoyed my visit to Japan last November for NSX Fiesta, I came across a little shop in the East Village of NYC that is the only shop outside of Kyoto making these handmade watches and had to pick up one. Each watch is an original handmade start to finish by one artisan.

Packaged/wrapped with traditional Japanese materials.

I like it. Unique!
 
With my Tag Chrono out of commision (don't leave it inside the car on a hot day), I just got my self G-Shock bigger than average watch. This is to compliment my Stormtrooper helmet.

Time for an update on my collection:

IMG_3056.jpg


First the Daily Drivers. These are watches that are relatively inexpensive, that I can wear on a more daily basis without worrying about them getting banged up, lost or stolen.

Kenneth Cole (I just liked the way it looked, but it's a pretty cheap and crappy watch. The chronograph function broked about the 5th time I used it.)

IMG_3075.jpg


Nixon 42-20 Rose Gold (I'm really starting to like Nixon watches. Made by a former engineer turned surfer, the watches are pretty high quality for the money and have a very heavy and solid feel. I really loved the look of the all rose gold as it is quite the attention getter)

Nixon 42-20 All Black (I liked the 42-20 model so much I got another one.)

IMG_3067.jpg


Next up, the Garage Queens. Although a bit of a mis-nomer as I actually do wear them, though they are significantly more expensive so I try to take a bit more care and caution when I do.

Breitling Cockpit (Mother of peral face with diamonds in the markers. This was the first nice watch I bough for myself)

IMG_3073.jpg


Rolex Submariner (One of my favorite watches because it just fits and feels so nice. It's not too big, it's not too heavy; it's just right. It's a watch I can easily wear every day.)

IMG_3068.jpg


Breitling Chronomat B01 (This was the first Breitling to utilize their own in house movement. I'm not a fan of the typical bezel because it has a very un-matching font, so I got the bezel with diamonds instead. I didn't realize that that the diamonds ended up costing more than the watch itself, but it was too late and I was already sold on the watch. :redface:)

Hublot Ice Bang (My newest watch. I've always loved Hublots and always wanted to get one, even though the average person doesn't even know what it is. :smile:)

As B said on a previous thread...Since we're flossing bling on this thread we should equally floss firearms so onlookers know who's house not jack! :biggrin:

Wanted to get some opinion...

Last year, my friend introduced me to the world of watches. I purchased myself an Oris F1 Day-Date watch:

473396d1310862047-sold-oris-williams-f1-team-day-date-635-7560-4754-rs-price-drop-img_4653.jpg


Its a great everyday watch - very casual, fits well with anything and it isn't flashy.

Now I'm looking into getting something more "formal" and have been looking at a Baume & Mercier. Particularly this model (8786):

878610.jpg


It's a manual wind, love the blue steel hands, and the skeleton window. However, I'm wondering if this watch is considered too "old" or even too formal for me (I'm 28 turning 29 years old). What's everyone opinion on Baume & Mercier?
 
I purchased two watches fairly close together (Rolex Explorer I- 39mm version, and a Sinn 856). I thought these would be a start of a new hobby/collection, but luckily it hasn't! I wear both and rotate between both daily. I try to be as careful as possible and luckily so far no major scratches other then the typical minor marks on the bands from regular use. Both watches I feel are meant to be worn day to day.
