There’s a lot of replicas of those that people try to pass as real though so be careful

Yep, I can buy the Mars one straight through Swatch. Not worth the risk to try to save a few bucks on the secondary market. Should be here in a few days. If we win the bowl game then I’m legally obligated to wear it for all future games.

Really enjoyed this Rolex Daytona time I was In the boutique, that said they are overpriced for what they are

If they were going to let you walk out of a Rolex dealer with a Daytona you absolutely should have done it. If for no other reason than to just resell it.

Some of the other special models they made look pretty cool too, but aren’t available direct online.

All joking aside: I only have 2 watches. (Technically 3)

1.) Citizen Gold and Silver watch that matches my wedding ring. It was only like $600 back in 2015 so idk how nice it is. Looks nice with my suits tho

2.) Hamilton stainless steel scuba* watch with card table felt green face. Idk why I even bought it other than I felt like James Bond wearing it. Purchased in London for £800 in 2016 (the week after we upset Michigan State under Riley's gay ass)


3.) my Grandfather's pocket watch he bought in Tokyo in 1949 and had with him all through the Korean War 1950-1953. It's all stainless steel and has Jap script on the back. I had a jeweler put a new battery in it and wore it for my wedding. (I know, douche bag move but I loved my Grandpa)

Yeah I like that Polar Lights one (I think that’s what it’s called). And Mercury.

I also have a Fauxlex I bought in Hong Kong almost 40 years ago. Damn thing still runs on original battery.

Don't wear watches much but I've wanted one of these. Made in Detroit. They release a different color face every year in runs of 500.

The Canfield Speedway 44mm

When it comes to excellence, there is no finish line. Only the next lap. Lap 07 of the Canfield Speedway 44mm Automatic Chronograph is a testament to the craft of watchmaking.

Preferred this previous version with a different band. There's an all black version that I'm probably not cool enough to pull off

I like the idea of watches, but gave up with the pricetag

Watch snobs will hate on shinola but having owned one I really liked it, lost it on a trip sadly. Number 1 thing about watches, buy what you like not what you think others like. My most worn watch for a decade was a Casio, loved that thing and keep it even though it’s dead

Lot of people feel this way, that said look into some smaller Microbrands, real quality pieces without the Rolex prices, brew is a new one that I like

 

[BIGSTICK67]

I have this Montblanc. Love it, but the band has slowly stretched over the years. Self winding.

Oh I don’t have the purchase history for it, I was looking at a datejust at the time.

That's a nice looking watch. I have been using a smart watch for many years now, but watches like this one you posted are my type of conventional watches.
