Does R3V know anything about watches?

[smooth]

Not hugely into watches but I do have one I wear daily. I'd like to get another for nicer occasions but dropping more than $250 on a watch is just not a big priority for me.

Citizen WR100 eco drive

I think a Citizen Eco Drive is respectable enough to wear for nicer occasions.

My time's off since I don't wear it daily, but even though it's more than a decade old it still picks back up where it started once it's been in the sun for a bit.

My $4000 hermes watch :)

So you're a 16 year old kid with a 4 thousand dollar watch and 2 thousand dollar car?

So true lol, a guy could have a $50k patek on and girls would be more drawn to the huge gold nixon on another guys wrist. It's a sickness with little reward.

Maybe if you're in a Midwest college bar.

Any intelligent woman with a shred of class will notice a Patek over some 60mm plastic nixon.

A friend of mine has a family heirloom Patek that's in the six-figure range and it's probably the best looking time piece I've ever seen.

Price range is $600-800.

Probably more toward sporty. Don't need anything dressy. I wear jeans/polo or button up shirt to work with sneakers.

And we usually don't go anywhere for dinner that jeans/polo won't work either.

If you like TAG Heuer there entry level watch the Formula one. With a bit of shopping you can find a new one in that range. Or a used aquaracer like the one I have.




These are interesting. Out of my price range. But the most unique style.

Out of my range though......

tourbilon movements are neat but not my style. nor are the skeleton dials, display backs on traditional dials are more my speed for admiring the movement in action.

Utter garbage. Had two, one of them literally fell apart. TAG fixed it, then didn't waterproof it. Then blamed me saying "you never told us you wanted us to seal it."

I dunno, guys. I'm seeing lots of cheesy fashion-accessory watches in this thread. If you're looking for a fashion accessory, then by all means buy a Hermes. They'll be happy to sell you a matching purse to go with it.

I prefer the simple, classic designs:

Moonwatch ftmfw, must have for anyone who wants to collect.

[KenC]

Except that IWC, which is GORGEOUS, is like 5x what he wants to spend.

Buddy, if you like the flight watches, Hamilton makes some that are in your range.

I will own a Patek one day, maybe sometimes this year. Found a couple of them here for sub $10k.

[mrsleeve]

Emery you have great taste, and your a little more blunt about the fashion watch than I was, I totally agree with that.

Are the sub $10k ones that you really would want? That's got to be their entry level one. I think I'd rather have a $10k Breitling or IWC, than a $10k Patek.

[pureaudio]

Either most of you are BS'ing or it is much more common than I thought for average people to drop several thousand or more on a watch. Is it really that important to own a really nice watch? I can appreciate them for sure but unless I was really wealthy, I just could not bring myself to drop that kind of money.

I do have a $5000 bill on my desk for my portion of my son's surgery, that is what I get to drop big money on...
