The Watch Thread

**EinSchnellAudi** · 12-23-2011 08:26 AM

Post up your pictures of Watches you have, have had, want, next to buy, or your 'grail' watch.

EDIT: Please try to keep photos smaller if possible, or if you have one larger shot that includes all of your watches that would be fine

Have: (from left to right)
Skagen 692XXLTMB (Audi Collection)
Wenger 77010 AeroGraph Chrono
Audi Pocket watch (Unknown Manufacturer)
Audi "Test Drive" (Given out A few years back for test driving a CPO)

The Skagen is my go to watch, it is light, feels great and looks amazing. Have only had two small dials fail on me, and Skagen took care of that for me :)
The Wenger is new, have not had it enough to make an opinion on it.
Pocket watch, well that is new as well, and so far has not lost any time (lacking a second hand to know seconds) but minutes are spot on.
Test Drive watch, only when I have to "suit up" not a bad little watch. A no name watch passed out for free.

Wrist check! Post your watches up.

Have added since this first post:
1967 Bulova Date King TT
1958 Bulova Yankee Clipper
Raketa 47111
Skagen 958XLBLN
Vostok Komandirskie
and another Raketa

Sweet! I'll take some pics soon of my collection

**A62TURBO** · 12-23-2011 09:40 AM

After my car was stolen a few weeks back I'm very hesitant about posting pictures of my possessions anymore. That Bell & Ross does look nice though.

**ENDEE666** · 12-23-2011 11:48 AM

This thread was my idea!! lol but happy to see it!!

Still have to take pics of mine so I can post. Or I might just find the manufacturer pics online.. Will post this weekend. This thread should get awesome.

Well a car is easier to find/follow than a watch, but I hear ya. I rarely post photos of my car too. PM sent about car..

I can understand your reasoning. Getting your car stolen must be a nightmare. Sorry to hear that :( If you choose to participate that would be great, but if not I can understand.

**martianbooby** · 12-23-2011 02:02 PM

**williamr91** · 12-26-2011 07:43 PM

Here is mine. The all black watch is a Luminox, the square steel one is a cheap-o Emporio Armani I got years ago, Silver and blue Chronograph is a Tissot V8, Black leather is a Tissot (not sure on model) Brown thin leather is a really inexpensive but very nice Swiss internal watch made by Sturling (inexpensive watches online only, the co is from NY and they only use Swiss quartz movements. The plastic black is a spazio (another cheap watch I found at Macy's years ago). [IMG]

Gift from my girlfriend for Christmas. Michael Kors.

**Vinchenzo51** · 12-26-2011 09:20 PM

Man, that black Tissot is my style all the way. I need to look into that some more. I love the style of the hands and the roman numerals are a nice touch. Good stuff man.

Not much here, I haven't been able to get all the watches I want. I'm just missing my Rolex in the mix :)

**williamr91** · 12-27-2011 07:28 AM

Thanks guy's the black Tissot is very nice for the office on the few day's I don't wear brown shoes. Or for nights where I wear a tux. It was very inexpensive too :D THANKS Amazon!

**Stubek** · 12-27-2011 07:48 AM

Among other Christmas gifts, my wife ordered me two Invictas, a Stuhrling, and an Armitron (I actually really liked the way this one looked).

**EinSchnellAudi** · 12-27-2011 08:34 AM

Nice choices guys! That tissot is clean! I like the variety in here. Keep it up.

Just picked up 300M Tissot Seastart 1000 today, should be here tomorrow, going have this one modded.

300M, ETA 2824-2, sapphire crystal. Got it for a great price off of WUS.

**Audi4.2** · 12-27-2011 10:15 PM

anyone know the name of that black tissot, looks sweet

**FrankA6** · 12-27-2011 10:56 PM

Tissot T0334101605300

**Stubek** · 12-28-2011 05:37 AM

Here are the four new ones for Christmas.
The one on the far left is a really cool shade of green. Now I need to get three of them sized

**ENDEE666** · 12-28-2011 05:55 AM

^What brand is that orange one? Close ups of that & The green please :)

**Stubek** · 12-28-2011 06:02 AM

When the wife wakes up, I will get close ups.
The orange is a Stuhrling and it is a skeleton style where you can see the gears. I really like that style and have two others as well.

Here is the green one. It is just an Armitron, but I really liked the color to go with a few shirts I have

And here is a close up of the Stuhrling. I really like this one.

Yup :)

And I already picked up a black dial from a guy in Sweden, going to have it sent out to MCWW for some PVD work and a dial/hand replacement.

**ENDEE666** · 12-28-2011 01:18 PM

Interesting, you can have hands replaced? One of my favorite watches, my only dislike is the hour/min hands are chrome. Part of the face is silver, making them hard to read in lower light.. Would love to change color of them...

Anyone ever tried polishing out minor scratches on theirs? Some of mine have some slight scuffs on polished areas. I wonder if maybe a felt Dremel bit or something would work.. Along with some car or metal polish?

Hell yeah, you can mod watches more than a car. I have all my work done at Motor City Watch Works in Detroit. http://www.motorcitywatchworks.com/index.html

Here's one I recently had done. Had the hands changed to more of a diver style.

Before

After

Turn around time is about 2-4 weeks.

**ENDEE666** · 12-28-2011 02:43 PM

Thats awesome! And wow, I love your camera & photography skills!

**riodeamanda** · 12-28-2011 03:45 PM

My daily

Beach/water. Been wearing it alot lately.

**ENDEE666** · 12-28-2011 03:45 PM

FINALLY took my pics. A few of my case & the watches, but then it was easier to use online photos for each model...

This is the one I would love to change the hands on:

And the others, online images:

The Invicta is my most common and I get loads of compliments on it. Next would be the Skagen. The carbon fiber & brushed copper is so nice. The ESQ & the Burberry are also common for me. The Diesel also gets tons of compliments, the white is kind of rubbery. Being white, its a casual summer watch. That Relic I picked up online dirt cheap (like $20) and it looks great, but its very light & feels a bit cheap.. The light blue Kenneth Cole I wear often too, and being insanely thin, it also gets a lot of compliments..
