Does R3V know anything about watches?

Just bought this movado as a project:

Did someone say watches?


iPod Shuffle w/ Leather Band: (Rubber pictured, but you get the idea :-P)



Gen1 Nixon Chronicle Black:




Both were under $300 and I got complements on both all the time. People are always commenting on them them because of their leather bands instead of the tacky hyper-businessman metal links. If your looking for a very nice modern business-casual all-around watch, these really cant be beat

Just bought this guy off of the bay....it will get a black leather band as soon as I get it. I have too many with brown bands.

Nice!

It may have been mentioned, are the Sturhling's any good? I dig some of their designs and they aren't too pricey? I've pulled back on a big budget for this since I'm trying to finish the Miata.

The wife got me an LZ10 for my birthday.







And compared to my Maratac Pilot...

I'm currently waiting on this one. :) 3570.50


Edit: Is this the Tacho watch mentioned on the previous page?

Hey - I am a female looking for watch -- price range around 30 dollars. Any recommendations?

Keep saving and get something better, there are a bunch of great options on ebay. Just do your research and get something swiss with some good history and you'll be fine. My girlfriend has a Rolex DateJust which I think is a great watch for girls but it's about 100x your price range so maybe not quite yet... ;)

Just picked this up as my daily, as my two reps both need band repair:

[Pac1373]

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK793-A...0740711&sr=8-2

this Seiko (Which is also my Chocolate lab's name) is the same watch I have from my late Father, minus the see through back, mine is SS.
itI needs to be repaired as the face seems to have rotated inside the case a bit, I was working with some equipment and it was caused by vibration.

still, one of my most prized posessions though, sad to see it is only worth $55 bucks to everyone else though.

as a related note, it has to be 30 years old.

Picked up another cheap project watch. From the description it sounds like a broken mainspring. The band is also horrible.

I liked my Eco-Drive, wore it for years. Then left it in a car I traded in on my 350Z a couple of years ago.

Something that is clean/nice and not too dressy, but still good mix for both work and dress events....

Citizen eco-drive watches?
Seiko ?

Is quarts ok or better to go with automatic/eco-drive?

I want a Fortis, but they are $$$

Check eBay for vintage Seikos. You can find some nice ones with automatic movements.
