I just bought this:


It was supposed to be delivered to my office today, but there was a "delivery exception" for some reason.

I wanted a watch for working out which led me to pick up this one from Costco today. It's a great deal at $40 off right now.

Wish watch: Chopard "Happy Sport" or any of them really. Current watch: Invicta. Former watch: Swatch....what a cool watch for the price. I wore it without removing it through swimming, etc for 15 months. Finally the strap broke.

Just wanted to bump this thread….was a great one to go through and see what people are into.

Also funny to see all the mentions of Panerai from a few years ago. It seems like that whole brand is loathed by a lot of watch fans these days. I'm curious how people on here feel about them at the moment…

I hadn't worn a watch for a good 10-15 years, but I've also been a clock fan, and now watches have peaked my interest. I'd like be able to invest in a nice watch for the long term, and I'm trying to whittle my decision down (and my bank account up). My main issue at the moment is whether to go for a more hardy day-to-day watch, or a nicer dress watch for business meetings and events. I have my heart set out on both, but only really have the budget for one.

Some of the day to day options on my list:

Maurice de Mauriac


These guys make custom watches in Zurich. Love the modern look of this thing without it being too crazy.

The Omega Speedmaster never goes out of style. Plus a great story behind it of course.


Tag Heur Monaco - Another new version of an old classic.



In terms of dress watches, I love simple classic designs….some of my favorites:

VacheronConstantine - Out of my budget, but maybe one day…..


I've always loved this simple Georg Jensen


A slightly more atainable option - the IWC Portuegese

I've always loved the modern look of IWC. They seem to be a little pricey considering you don't get an in-house movement though.

Anyone here have any of these watches/brands? Any feedback to offer?

I don't wear watches anymore, ever since I found out I was allergic to fake metal. And I don't like the look of those Leather or fabric watches.

I am a total watch whore, 7 in total, only 2 cost more than $200 though. Most were Fossil Ebay snipes.

I've learned a little bit about watches in the last couple years, and my diesel and Kenneth Cole watches aren't cutting it anymore.

I'm about to take a dive into a Longines. Possibly something like this:

Funny how quickly the store/fashion brands fall by the wayside when you really get into this stuff, huh?

That's a nice looking Longines btw.
