Post Your Watches

[Nabster]

Cheap watches?

What?

Oh, honey.

I've worked on watches that cost more than a nice house in many parts of this country. When you're actually in to watches, $2000 is cheap.

 

[IceBone]

It's also very expensive, it depends from which side of the budget line you're looking.

It's easy then, stop being less poor!

Wait a second, that's like a triple negative there... my post lunch mind is confused

A 2014 Raymond Weil Tango:

A 2003 Citizen Eco Drive:

I have pretty small bones and wrists, so these do not look like I have a wall clock strapped on.

 

[Redliner]

Those are so nice. Simple and practical.

 

[Jay]

Simple and practical.

Much like me. :lol:

 

[Redliner]

Much like me. :lol:

Yep. Those two watches have "Jay" written all over it. :lol:

 

[BlaRo]

Hey Jay!

 

[RdKetchup]

Another change of plan, didn't wait for my birthday...

Just put an order for this:



My own pics to come when I receive it in a few weeks

It has arrived, and it's glorious (to me at least)!

Here are a few crappy unboxing pictures:

At first I was hesitating between the 44mm and 47mm version, but a friend of mine convinced me to go 44, and even got me a bit scared that even that would be too big.

But I am looking at it on my wrist right now, and it feels perfect size wise.

I will check the accuracy over the next few days.

 

[Redliner]

Very nice.

Post a picture wearing it!

 

[bone]

I will check the accuracy over the next few days.

there are doubts about it?
even a 2? watch you get at a fareground runs pretty solid these days...

 

[IceBone]

Those watches run on a quartz crystal, which is easier to make accurate (as all quartz vibrates at the same frequency when exposed to electricity). This is slightly more complex.

 

[RdKetchup]

Exactly. My quartz Citizen drifts roughly 1s per month.

This being a mechanical watch, I'll be happy with <5s/day.
