Do you wear a watch?

[Ducky_Fresh]

I am in love with these watches. I am having a hard time finding one though, as the version I want is discontinued and about 7 years old. Hoping to find one for around $3500, but it is difficult. A bit worried there are some impostors out there too, but seems to be a difficult and undesirable watch to clone.

Look into chrono24.

That SARX017 looks beautiful.

I thought traditional pilot watches WERE made large. Large strap to fit over the bomber jackets and large dial to read easily.

Anyways, I think 44mm is about perfect, and I don't have very large wrists.

Hmmm...the maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the vintage fliegher watches were typically around 32-36 mm.

That is hawt. Don't underestimate the efforts of plagiarists.

I bought the SARX017, should be here in a week or so . The mrs likes the Cocktail Time, but she says it's very dressy and would not look right for my everyday work clothes of a t-shirt and jeans. The SAXR017 is better suited for that it seems. I may still get the Cocktail Time at a later time though, it's really nice.

Nice choice! The hands are unique and I like that they have lume. Enjoy it!

Looks like we were both right.

Interesting link on vintage pilot watches if you're interested.

Citizen's are also battery dependent except they recharge with a built in solar panel.

You can drop 400-600 dollars and get a solid Swiss watch that will last you decades.

Look into Hamilton on Amazon.

Fuck that Swiss faux Hamilton shit. Go get a real, vintage, US made Hamilton if you're going to do that.

I wear two.

Why do you need two rolex diver's watches?

The bezels, duh.

Still my favorite, because of its simplicity and utilitarian beauty.

Thanks for finding that article. Very informative. I just forwarded to my FIL, Air Force for 24 years, who complains about big pilot watches like I do!

(And it looks like you were much more correct than I was.)

I like that GMT - very nice. I really wanted that feature in the DeepSea Sea-Dweller, but I'm sure the watch would have become bigger than iPhone 6P...

Dude that Deepsea is a tank. Try one on some time, wearing it is like doing dumbbell curls. Even the Seadweller 4000 is significantly heavier than a regular Sub.

Now the GMT on a Sub band... that's near perfect.

Audimer Piget (sp)

 

[Cookie Monster]

Dang, looks fancy.

And here I am debating on if I should buy a $260 watch.

 

[mikev]

I'm over here all like damn that $100 Citizen eco-drive is sweet.

 

[Nucking Futs]

Very nice.

What else you got? (That I might want to buy)

Omega Speedmaster $2000 no box no papers

Breitling Colt Ocean $1500 no box no papers

 

[Nucking Futs]

What kind of watch is that?

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with Astronomical moon function. Or you can just look at the moon at night for $20,000 less.

So uh, trade for an FJ-09, F4i and an '07 Miata? Because I think all three of those are worth less than that watch.
