Like watches? post a pic of your watch, and a pic of your favourite watch

lot's of deals in the "previously loved" market too

the Oris I picked up last yeah from a local guy retails for almost $3k...it was barely worn, not a spec of damage anywhere and I paid $1k

surf the f/s forums at www.watchuseek.com and have a look at the resale prices and you may not ever want to buy retail again

If you're not afraid to buy used, there are huge savings to be had. Best tool is www.elitedealseeker.com, lets you search all the big watch forums in real time and on one page.
 
blah blah blah I'm a hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster
:D

I don't know if any of you guys remember this, but I've been trying to remember what they were called for yeeeears. When I was a little kid, they came out with a talking watch...each colour was a different personality. So the blue one was "cool" and it would tell you the time in a surfer voice and say "dude" afterwards. Then the red one would shout the time and sound all angry. The yellow one would talk really enthusiastically, etc. I used to love that thing! It'd be greatly appreciated if you guys had any leads. That **** was annoying as hell, but so entertaining...

Not sure what you mean here but hey........seriously, kids, don't do drugs. :)
 
Here's another, and my favourite, Marathon MSAR. Couple cool details about the watch. Special edition contracted by the Canadian military, this is #149/500. Marathon is a Canadian company, located right here in Richmond Hill, watch is swiss made however (realistically likely chinese manufactured, final assembly in Switzerland). The red maple leaf looks to be a piece of anodized aluminum, really nice detail. They also have a really nice bracelet with a maple leaf on the clasp, but I haven't gotten around to dropping the $170 on it. It used to be that you couldn't buy a watch directly from Marathon unless you were military, fire, or police. Looks like that's changed though as they have a shopping cart on their site now.

Here's a crappy pic from when I first got it, I wear it on a Bond style nato strap now,

Put the pictures on something like photobucket and link to them.

Create an account, upload your pictures from your computer. Once done click on the picture and there will be a "link to it" script to copy and paste when you make a new post.

Anyone have a U-boat?

Really liking the design.

This is my treasured Sea Dweller. I lost the first one and it took a long time for me to get the second one.

I remember these. I think my sisters may have had some. If they did, there's probably one in my basement somewhere (my mother doesn't throw out anything from our childhood).
 
I love the tritium lume on my Marathon, glows all the time and it's radioactive, Marathon even has a little radioactive symbol on the dial. Ball goes a bit overboard in my opinion though, I'd rather have just illuminated hour markers instead of the full numbers, a bit too busy with all the tritium Ball has on the dial. That said, the Spacemaster has an absolutely gorgeous case and bracelet. There was one on WUS a little while ago for around $1600, seriously debated picking it up

Something like this is what I'd like from Ball Watches. Look at the night time pic.

They have options that are less over the top. I like all the glowy stuff and different colours, lol.
