Does R3V know anything about watches?

[mr ilia]

I dont know anything about watches but i just bought two swatch watches and i really like them, or at least thats my excuse to justify spending soo much $$$ on them. Anyone know any good diving watches out there?

I have this watch in my collection.

48mm, solar powered, titanium, diver's 200m, paid about 200.00



Not diving watch, but this one is from my vintage collection. Seiko Speedtimer, from the 70's, the case alone is about 1/2 inch thick!
I get a lot of compliments.



And I like this Heuer Autavia (70's?). I need to have them rebuild. They ran, but stopped about 15 years ago. I will get them up to par in the future.

I haven't worn a watch in years, the last one was like a shitty Wenger.
My next watch will probably be a Breitling, my dad said he'll give me the one that he bought back in the 80s and has worn to this day....when I get my degree :D
I know it must not be worth that much anymore, but it means a lot.

First time wearing my vintage automatic bulova...

I'm still really digging the TW Steel stuff, even though it may not have a stellar reputation. Trying to find a local place that carries them so I can see it/touch/hold in person before I drop that kind of coin.

Also some speakers I've been wanting to buy for a few years just went on sale and I still need to finish the track car.

Fuck.

Those TW steel watches are huge. I just got a 44mm watch and it seems way too big.

[z31maniac]

Yeah, that's why I want to try one on......I love the style, but I'm not sure about the size.

I have a 40mm Rolex sub and a 45mm Omega Planet Ocean and honestly, the Omega doesn't feel THAT much bigger.

Those are some funny reviews. The watch its self is horridly ugly. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Tourbillon movements, but that watch is fugly.

Those are pretty sick. BMW had a tachometer looking watch with the E30 M3 tach as the dial. I saw one on ebay recently but wasn't in the position to buy it... I should have though.


Here is my new daily that my father bought me for christmas. At first I wasn't too big on it, but I'm starting to like it more and more each day I wear it.

Never mind the smudge.

I really love the classic fliegeruhr styles and slight variations thereof. Nice examples are made by Sinn, Tutima/Glashütte, Fortis, Hanhart, and IWC:

If i was to spend any more than this on a watch it would be a Breitling. I don't see the point in buying useless crap though.
