Off Topic - Wrist Watches (pics)

[CJB]

I know its totally off topic, but there may be a few watchaholics here, so I thought I'd share the newest inbound -



Three hundred meter and helium rated. Hand made, except for sapphire crystal and better grade (NE15/6R15) Seiko movement, which is hand adjusted (to tweak the robotic assembly adjustment).

Anyway, if this thread becomes anything - it'll need pictures! (watch porn)

I don't even stray from the shallow end of the pool let alone 300 meters. But that's certainly purdy.

Hell, I don't even do the shallow end! If I went to the beach, the Cousteau Society would show with with GreenPeace and PITA and try to save me by pushin' me back out to sea!

Here's another 300m (1000ft) Helium gas rated diver's. The Seiko "Tuna-Can", so named for the protective shroud around the top.

Gettin' even purdier. Sorry I cannot reciprocate with pictures. I haven't worn a watch in years. No tan lines on this wrist.

Personally I've never worn a wrist watch.
But I gave one of these to my Dad for his 80th birthday -

That looks like it came off the set of Star Treck: Nemesis !!

A bit of futuristic SteamPunk, very tasty, and talk about "complications" of the movement, jeeze.

Long time daily wearers.

[Boom]

Wow, nice watches. And here I sit with just a Citizen.

Dayum, yall got some right pretty watches. I've tried to go without but I just gotta wear one. I never could figure how you tell the time when there ain't no numbers on your watch?

Ain't worth the effort to take pics of my Casio but it tells me the time Purdy good.

I know Jocko is a watchaholic. Got some of them Potacs, or Peteks something like that I ain't never heard of before. I googled em one time and they was more than my van. Wife said I couldn't have one. B!tch...............


I really like the looks of that first blue faced one even if it don't work too good. It's 2:30. That's real stylish, looks great.

Same here. I had (still have) a Seiko in the 70's but the Navy wouldn't let us wear radium dials on the sub. Never put one back on.

Here's the last one I ever wore regular...Mrs. b4 found it at a rummage sale for $2.00

[Boom]

Awesome! I have a couple of those myself!

Damn, that was a steal wasn't it. Did it work or you just wear it to hang out with the rich folk?

That's a fine looking watch too. Like the looks a lot.

Those folks are around my office all the time trying to herd the violets. Guess they don't want to see em dry out and die.

I kind of like the thought myself but you never can figure them tree/dolphin huggers.
