I just got payed and I have Money burning a hole in my pocket. You guys are making me want to buy a 17th watch, My watch box only holds 18. Oh and screw the Apple Watch, Silicon Valley has nothing on Mechanical Time keeping.

You're 21 and you have a watch collection?

Not only a watch collection, but a snobbery for mechanical watches. I bet you like cars with manual transmissions, too. And real wood and leather. And have a taste for aged liquor and hand rolled cigars, when you choose a cigar and not your pipe.

For those mechanically inclined, I think the Thomas Prescher Triple Axis Tourbillon is pretty much a grail watch. What are your favorite movements?

Do you know how to fix mechanical watches? I'd love to learn, my Invicta 1959 Russian Diver stopped. My favorite movement right now is The Swatch Sistem51, the 51 piece automatic movement is astounding

I gotta say that mechanical pieces are glorious.

You gotta admit though that having a watch that automatically updates the time according to the atomic clock is pretty amazing though.

Have a watch

I wish, alas I can't repair watches, but I would love to learn how to. And sorry about the Invicta, it's pretty. Do you have an everyday watch, or do you rotate through your whole collection?

Yessir :D

I've also seen a couple watches that used pulleys.

Its under warranty until january, but Invicta's service dept is annoying to deal with to say the least. I was hoping to avoid it. I mainly wear one of my swatches as my everyday watche. Either My Sistem51 or My Irony Freezing Rain, But I do rotate when I feel like it. The problem is some of my watches are a little finicky, so its hard to wear them often.

If I had money, I'd have a vault full of watches and a psychiatrist to tell my need to buy watches stems from my mother and I need to stop. (Freud Joke)

You may have a watch collection, but you know you've got to hold out until you come to Michigan; because Alessi.

This L4P thread was incredible while it lasted. http://www.luxury4play.com/watches/64577-…

I kinda feel bad because my everyday it a quartz, but I just fell in love with it and it was a gift.

I have the blue dial with the darker strap

Check out this Legacy Machine #2

Oh Alessi, Less expensive than Braun, with all the design of Braun. How ya feelin? I havent heard from you or seen you on oppo, I almost got worried

since you clearly like watches, do you have any good suggestions for a simple, classy ,good-looking everyday watch for a somewhat poor college kid? Oh and I have a somewhat thin wrist

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > ihm96 09/11/2014 at 01:34

Thin wrist huh? I wouldnt recommend anything over 40mm then. Whats your budget?

Throat still hurts like it did Monday. I made a couple comments and one post on 911 exhausts earlier when kinja was updated. It's like I have a sore in my throat for no apparent reason.

You dont smoke do you?

Nope! Never have nor do I have any reason or desire to do so.

I have no idea then. All I can say to you is go see a doctor. Good choice on not smoking btw. It can hurt you later on in life

These are facts. I'll try to schedule an appointment for next week if I can.

It appears the throat pains are occurring in the tonsil area on the left side of my mouth/throat.

Probably strep, its contagious so I'd get a doctor's opinion to be safe. also Call all the girls youve kissed recently. lol ;)

This is fantastic! Exactly what I don't need right now, and it came outa nowhere too.

It usually comes out of nowhere, the doctor will probably put you on antibiotics. You'll be fine within a week

Agreed. I don't own any watches (except for a crappy Lotus I got when I was in highschool, but do I love nice watches; Only problem being I don't have the money to buy the ones I like :) Right now my love is for Autodromo !

Id like to spend around 50 though if there's a watch I'm enamored with that would be good everyday then I could go up to around 100. Currently what I've been wearing is a fake Rolex submariner with the (tho it's fake) special edition green bezel which is actually a great watch that I got for only 40$. I prefer clean and simple designs over some of those watches today that have gauges and dials all over the place that'll never get used

Can't screw the apple watch until the porn apps get here anyway.

If you dont love the autodromo monoposto, then you arent human. I wish I had the cash for that

What about this:

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK805-A…

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I've always liked that model Seiko, and Amazon has it for $56. Its automatic, so it will never need winding nor will it ever need batteries

It looks great although I'm not sure how I feel about the canvas strap. Also I am very much a fan of automatic watches cuz they amaze me. Also I am very surprised you were still up at 330 am to answer my stupid watch question haha

They're not selling it anymore though. I really like the look of their new Stradale (but the price, not so much), but I could probably settle for the less expensive Veloce (around $400).

I like the veloce alot, I wish it had chronos though

Its only 130 here in denver. What about this Invicta Pro Diver?

http://www.worldofwatches.com/detail.asp?iq=…

The Invicta Pro Diver was modeled loosely off of the Rolex Submariner

Invicta is also a Swiss brand

yeah I like that too, although I don't think Id wanna buy a watch that looks so similar to the one I use now which is actually a great watch despite being a knockoff. What do you think about Skagens? I don't know many watch brands but I've seen them at a couple of watch stores I've been to and I always thought they made some good looking watches

I don't really care for chronos so.... But I quite like the Prototypo too. Basically their complete lineup is awesome.

Skagen build quality is kinda so-so. But they look good. I can recommend anything by Invicta, I love them.

Another good one is swatch, check out their previous models on their website, you can get any of them from third parties online, NOS.

I'm very picky with chronos, But I like how Autodromo does chronos. Plus I like the functionality of chronos when they dont compromise the design aesthetic. And I love everything by autodromo

I'm a watch nut myself, only 7 in my collection though.

I almost started a conversation on one of the Gizmodo threads called "What real watch would you buy for $350"

The gushing over there may be intolerable, but I just don't care enough.

Besides, I wear $60 watches, so my answer would be "Five of these"

I've been looking at the swatches and there are a lot of nice looking ones, but now its so hard to choose. Im gonna try and measure my wrist later so I can find a nice fitting one because most watches are usually too big on me. What is NOS?

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > ihm96 09/11/2014 at 16:03

Good Idea to measure your wrist, I have a tiny wrist as well, all swatches fit me perfectly (every mens swatch ever made is 40mm) . NOS means NewOldStock, its like having a new watch thats not being made anymore

I was hoping for some fast and furious watches with nitrous haha. Unfortunately I have no tools at college that can measure my wrist

Just print this on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper, cut it out and wrap it around your wrist

I'd like to own a nice watch, and I don't even wear a watch.
