I've got a couple of LV Tambour's a black and a white. But my favourite is my grandfather's Omega pocket watch, still runs.
JLC Reverso is my main watch, but I also have a Zenith El Primero and a Rolex Air King.
Hahah, that was probably a dud, but it was a bad idea to wear any watch in the shower. I wouldn't do it even with a Rolex Submariner.Quote:

Have several watches but my favourite is the Cartier Ballon Blue, a Christmas present from WL I regularly see. She bought me this because I told her that I saw her wearing one when I first met her and that caught my attention.She said she bought me the watch so I wont forget her.She's not working anymore and went back to her country but still in contact her from time to time.
That's a very symbolic gift. She gave you a watch named "blue ball" because she's going away and you can't fuck her no more.Quote:

Any good shops in HK that have stock?
A lot of high end brands don’t. They put you on a waiting list. I’ve been on one for a year.
It’s BS and we are only talking about a piece of metal. Very frustrating.
Hi guys, any advice on a $500 watch..dont want any smart tech, just somethIng to look good.
Also dont wanna spend to much, would rather put that cash towards wls.
Thanks in advance
Dave
Tudor Black Bay 58 is my next purchase

Or i dunno, just nothing, no watch, as time is just an illusion, just like hope

Thanks colesbag and legitl for the tips.
Definitely gonna get my first watch in many many years.
Cheers

The one with the atlas embedded in the watch face is the new Aqua Terra Worldtimer I think. Released this year as a 75th anniversary edition.Quote:

Watch are you cheery about? You’ll have been waiting years! Obviously for you time is a virtue.Quote:

A mate showed me a Patek Phillipe watcth recently that had been given to him to cover a debt, it was a Nautilus, and, if real, worth over 100k. He knew I had a few watches and asked me to have a look. I'd never held one before, but at first glance I thought this could be real, it took a few minutes and some pretty close scrutiny but I am certain that it is a fake. Having said that it is a very, very good fake and is probably worth 20 to 30k even knowing it is fake.

Im a big fan of blacked out watches at present.
Vincent888, you should join the YeahMad crowd.
If you haven't seen YeahMad search for them on youtube.
My small collection for now minus my G shocks

Noice... And all on time. Must be using a watch winder, then? I find that such a hassle with owning more than 1 mechanical watch.Quote:

Just set you timezone and nothing else.
I am considering getting a Solar Garmin, 51mm just so I can put on the watch whatever I like.
Personal ring gif's is one idea... mmm girlone rings and a her pussy pic ?
