Heh, watchuseek is neat for lurking. Great source of info too. Got my grandfather's old pocketwatch repaired after talking to some members there.

 

congrats on finding what you wanted!

My watch came in today. I really like it a lot!

Very nice sir.  Congrats, I hope you enjoy it.  I wish I saw this thread a little earlier as I have been contemplating on selling/trading one or two of my Omega Seamasters.

[reed1285]

Thank you sir. I wish you wouldve seen it sooner too! Ill give you a shout next time the watch bug bites, which probably wont be too long lol

[tnguy]

I'd wear it.

[bholman]

I'd also be interested in which Seamasters you have.

Seamaster Auto, X-33 Speedmaster, 40th Anniversary 007 Seamaster

 

 

Most of the time I wear my Breitling.

Major Kong ruined me a couple of years ago by letting me trade into a 90's Rolex Submariner, I absolutely love it and I doubt I will ever want another watch now, I should have it back this Tuesday from being serviced, the only downside to having automatic watches

While I love Omega, the Breitling I have is by far the best automatic time keeping watch I have seen.

My Superocean kept awesome time as well, what shocked  me was  that the Submariner kept better time than both my Breitling and my Doxa I honestly did not expect that so i sold both of them and now just have my Rolex

The submariner is probably Rolex ' s best dive watch, ever.

Congrats and glad to help!

Just got it back from Service last night, 1990 Date just Submariner, It honestly looks better than the 2014 ones they had in the store, I am blown away by the service done on it

+1 on the submariner. My father was a professional diver for many years (I've got pics of him in the old mkV) and he swore by his. I wear one every day and it is by far the best watch I've ever owned.

Bumping this one up. Wasnt really in the market right now but came across an AWESOME deal on this Hamilton Khaki mechanical. Actually a friend of mine found it for me while out and called me and told me about it. Loving it so far. This is my first mechanical so its going to take some getting used to as far as remembering to wind it every day.

When Apple watch comes out it will be the first watch I have worn in about 15 years.

Thank you sir. The Apple watch is on my radar as well!

I gotta say, one thing that's really steering me away from smart watches is the battery life. I'd quite like the Motorola but do not want the hassle. The battery life on the Pebble I might just be about to deal with but it's a little short in the features department. Maybe in a couple of years...
