Any watch junkies here?

Any of you guys into collecting watches? I recently caught the bug and have a collection of 4. Show what you got! They don't have to be expensive as rolex, anything goes. Here is my collection in order i got them:

Swatch Irony Chrono (mine has a darker blue face). Bought the watch some 10 years ago on SAS air duty free. My first nicer watch. Wore it for a long time.



Diesel Watch - great looking piece. Got many complements on it.



Laco Flieger Type A - Had it imported from germany. Automatic with display back so you can see the movement do its thing. This one took time to find. Laco is one of original five watchmakers that made watches for pilots during WWII.



Hamilton Khaki Mechanical - American company swiss made watch. The watch has a real swiss manual wound movement ETA 6497. Winds very smooth and has a cool mechanical feel to it. Also has a sapphire crystal glass.

I dont collect watches but I got a really sick watch. Jacob & Co. The World is Yours with a diamond bezel and band. I will take a pic when I get a chance

I remember a few years back it seem like EVERYONE had a watch on. Now, I rarely see them.

Took this with my laptop cam and it is not that good and don't do the watch justice. In person it looks crazy
It was very expensive

I only have one. I only need one.


I used to be into pocket watches when I was younger, but stopped wearing them after highschool. I'd like to get back into them.
Everyone then had wallet chains dangling from their pocket... I had a watch chain!

Mike, I remember the chain hanging trend haha. Nice dressy watch you got too!

Yeah, I love it. Stainless steel, so it's not "look at me!" fancy... but it's Tiffany, so it's still fancy. It was a gift from my stepfather (that he got as a company gift through Chrysler when he had his dealership.) I'm proud of the fact that I have a really expensve watch, and neither I nor my family spend a dime for it! I would never actually buy such a watch at the price it sells for... that's just absurd.

I didn't wear it for years, until I got it resized and a new battery put in. I was kinda disappointed that it was a battery-powered watch, and not the oldschool wind-up kind (or the ones that somehow wind themselves... that fascinates me...)

I can't imagine why...

Got dead busted up watches in a draw some where. But who needs them anymore? My cell phone shows time just fine. Will your future kids know what a handheld digital camera is, or a record player, or a desk phone? I even think the personal envelope mail will become extinct....All because of the cell phone. I hated licking the stamps anyway.

[deevergote]

I always wondered if people who pronounced "drawer" as "draw" spelled it that way too... now I know
