Like watches?
I have several vices/obsessions but one is watches. I have 10 or 12 not cheap but not really anything to brag about either all just 200-400 dollars...most are dive watches and that's all I'll consider now since I wear them all the time swimming and water skiing...but now my birthday is comming up and I've always wanted a "nice" watch that I can afford...Seamaster 300 GMT not too pretentious...a Rolex is nice but way too beyond my extra cash and too much copied...any opinions?
I guess you would not understand unless you admired fine watches because I know someone is going to say "as long as it keeps time".

I'm startin to like Tag and I've always like the eco drive by citizen. The last one I got was a self winding omega......................I love it!!! I have alot of fossil watches and have always liked them. For the price I think it's hard to beat a titanium fossil(gave $95 for my last one of those)
I agree on loving watches, It may be a femanine thing, but I like my watch to match what I'm wearing. The ones I don't like are rolex's and movado's, the rolex cause of the price tag and they use too much gold coloring(schemes) for my taste, the movado cause they don't have markers..........I want it to look good but I'd like it to actually tell me the time also(with out alot of thinking).

Me too, I have a citizen eco-drive 200m diver titainium...costco 160.00...that's where I buy my watches...that's where they have the Seamaster 300 GMT 1500.00...I also have a vintage seiko 200m auto dive, seiko 200m quartz diver, and my dress watch is a seiko kinetic all gold with a links bracelet (like the tags)...and a buch of other watches...atomic/ solar g-shock...but its my only digital watch and I'm not big on digital but being atomic it keeps perfect time. So what Omega did you get?

It's a seamaster automatic, stainless link band and case w/ yellow gold dial face. My favorite part is hidden when you wear it.......the back has a quartz face also so you can watch the movement. I could stare at it for a long while just rocking it back and forth to make it move. I think it's amazing how they can make and assemble parts that small.

Well we have watches in common and I see guns too!...Although family and trucks rank just as higher or higher...depending on the day!...well as you can see from my link I'm in for the plainer and cheaper model...I thought i wanted a black face but three of my dive watches have black face and after looking and wearing the white GMT I think its unique and still easy to read what with the black outlined hands. Don't see a lot of white faced watches.

If i really wanted to spend some money on a watch (i rarely wear a watch) i would get a Tag watch. They look really classy but not too overdone like some rolex's.

I love watches too, I just have one fossil right now. I feel naked if I don't have it on, it's the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night.
Here's the one I'm getting ready to get:

The only watch I wear is a casio G shock.My mom got me a casio dw 5200(I think that is the mod #) when I was 16 and until last year I only took it off when I went to bed,well I decided I wanted another one and went looking on ebay and found them selling for $250 to $400 bucks mostly to people in Japan so I got a new Dw5600e looks just like my other watch.I am 39 now and I only had to put one battery in my other watch and have had it ripped from my wrist more times then I can count no other watch I had owned up to the time I got that casio would last 6 months I do have a bunch of other watches but I am so used to this design of watch I won't,can't wear anything else.
Mabe they should contact me to do a casio commercial

I've got a Britannica watch that I bought in the fall of '94. I've put a number of batteries in it, and replaced the band a number of times, and it's still going. I know that the piece that holds the battery is broken (just barely holds it now), but for what this watch has been through, it's amazing. It was only about $30 at the time, and I've probably spent a hundred or more on bands (it needs yet another now--ripped off while wrenching on a 460). The fact that it still works tells me I can't afford to buy another. I bought a Timex the same day as more of a "dress watch", and it only lasted a few years--getting worn once a week to church. The Britannica gets worn daily while I paint, gets abused constantly, and it's still going. No way I would wear something expensive--I'm just too hard on watches.
