Just picked this fella up for a hundred bucks. Can’t beat that.

Triple pronged quartz, sweeping second hand, ~15 secs a year accuracy, based on their 60s models. Keep an eye out for the 2014 models, they’re getting cheap apparently.

Pebble time steel with a silicone band. I love the thing.

Mallard Extreme Chronograph. My dad is a horologist and sells these.

*kicks dirt clod*
Man, I don’t have anything that fancy. I’ve got a decent-ish pocket watch somewhere and a concentric disc watch with no numbering on the face somebody gave me recently, but nothing you’d really call haute couture.

Uhhhh, hair, at the moment. But when I do wear a watch, it’s a Seiko SNK-809. Best bang for your buck I’ve ever seen, a kinetic for about $50.

That’s a really pretty one; simple, easy to read, and a little touch of colour. Great find for a hundred bucks.

Wrist 1: Cheap digital watch (not a Fitbit as everyone thinks it is) and two “friendship bracelets”.

Wrist 2: Bracelet with a Disney charm and a TARDIS charm.

Nothing fancy, just wore it because I had a presentation today and it matched my clothes. Still waiting for my Autodromo to be repaired, that’s what I usually wear.

I like the precisionists but the case is too big for my tiny ass wrist.

Yep, awesome price point on those guys. My brother is a huge fan. I thought it was an automatic not kinetic though.

I’m similarly bepebbled, though I went for the cheap option. Been meaning to get a NATO strap for it.

Awesome...I won’t go above ~500 bucks because I end up damaging every watch I get. Would feel like an was if I damaged a classic.

I’ve had this for more than 30 years. I finally got a new band for it, and started wearing it again yesterday. It’s a Seiko H558-5009, allegedly the same watch that Arnie wore in Commando . Interestingly, I just Googled it and somebody is selling one for $999. That’s a bit more than I paid for it.

Nice Bulova! Very clean. I could wear that.

Right now I’m wearing a must de Cartier tank with Arabic numerals.

I don’t have it on me now but I have this exact model/color combination. I really recommend the Zodiac Sea Dragon.

Yeah I have the other problem because I have a large 8.5" wrist so most watches look like children’s on me. It's been a wonderful daily worn watch for 2 years now and it's never gone wrong yet despite taking some abuse and had somehow managed to hold my attention far longer than any prior watch that I don't even look at others at the moment.

I have the biggest wrists in the world, so my options are pretty limited to hockey-puck sized pieces. Otherwise it looks like I’m wearing a ladies watch, which is a bad look. So I have lots of Invictas, a couple Stuhrlings, a Tommy Bahama, 2 Fossils, and Super fancy Steinhart.

I’m partial to my dive watch. It glows in the dark and shit.

Where did you get that band? Must buy. Like now.

Very nice, what’s the actual model number? I’ve been wanting a second timepiece for some time now, and if the price is right...

No picture for the moment, but what I’m wearing is my trusty Tissot PRC200 chronograph w/stainless band and white face.

The whole Accutron II line is pretty sweet collection of 60's aping designs. I'll probably pick up another couple if they drop under 200. Way too much watch to pass up at that price.

Love a nice watch. I’ve gained a few over the years. Nothing too fancy though...

This Nixon Gumball 3000 Rubber Player was only available in cities along the 2010 rally route (London, Amsterdam, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and New York City) in limited numbers so I like it a lot.

The rest of the family (minus one more nice Nixon Mayor that I can’t find right now, hmmm).

The Skagen in the middle-right is my daily. Nice and light/thin. And I love the WeWood middle-left. Gotta be careful getting that one wet though.

I like Nixons but I’m kind of gun shy after having two fail relatively recently (Rotolog and R1G1). Both lasted 3ish years then had the movement totally crap out on me.
