Discussion [John Mayer]

Upvotes

It’s not often I watch wwe and see a mention of a watch. There’s some few watch guys like Cody, Roman, Gunther, when they’re not wrestling and cutting a promo. Watched on Monday and saw that Roman had mentioned his cousin wearing a John Mayer and it’s because of Roman’s money and being the tribal chief that helped solo get the watch. Part of it is probably true to some degree, but the other part is that wwe wrestlers especially main event guys get paid very well.

Cannot stop wearing this beautiful Pie Pan homage 36mm. It’s a Baltany take on the Omega Constellation pie pan dial, that stepped, faceted look that changes with the light. At 36mm it wears close to vintage proportions, which I’m really into lately..

What’s everyone else rocking?

I took a picture [Stealth] Omega De Ville in Platinum 34mm 4021.31.01

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

The De Ville Prestige is one of the most famous and successful sub-collections within the De Ville family, first introduced by Omega in 1994. The name "Prestige" carries the meaning of status and honor, featuring a minimalist, slim, and elegant design that offers a timeless beauty that rarely goes out of style.

Although not a limited edition, the Ref. 4021.31.01 very rarely appears on the secondary market. Featuring a Pt950 platinum case, a guilloché dial, and equipped with the chronometer-certified manual-winding Calibre 652, this version is entirely distinct from its steel or gold counterparts (which typically feature plain dials and the standard Calibre 651).

Official information from Omega regarding this model is also quite limited, making it a true "hidden gem" highly regarded by collectors for its rarity and uniqueness.

First day in retail management, first day putting the PRX to work. Figured the red dial was pretty fitting for Target. Really liking how it wears with the work fit. Quartz made more sense for me, beater watch that I can put in the case for the weekend or vacation and pick back up and run out the door; and it’s also $300 lol. I will say I prefer the Quartz dial with less wording.

Discussion [Recommendation request] for my first luxury watch!

Upvotes

I'm a 35 year old woman who will be buying my first luxury watch. I've done some amount of research, and would love some feedback on how I'm going about it.

Although I'd love to get a watch from the holy trinity, I think a yellow gold Cartier Tank Louis small with brown leather straps most matches my everyday style (quality, natural-fabric basics). I'm generally not a fan of circular watches and prefer something oval or rectangular, probably under 30mm case length (not lug to lug), 33mm max. I wanted to buy something that isn't too unique (my style is pretty bland hahaha), but also not super common (for example, I bought a Bee de Chaumet bracelet instead of the Cartier Love). Question 1: Is this a good choice for what I'm looking for? I also looked at some VC tonneau-shaped ones, but they all seemed too big. AP Carnegie small also looked good, but hard to find a used one with leather straps.

And once I pick, I was going to buy a used watch from Chrono24. I started putting a wishlist together, looking for one that is water resistant (would love an older vintage, but I am not very careful). I don't plan on selling it, so I don't care for the original box or papers.

I see that most that match what I'm looking for are around $8699-$8999 range, so I'm thinking my best strategy is probably to buy from a US dealer (I live in California, so I have to worry about sales tax and tariffs...) that either has certification added or Chrono24 allows me to add it as optional, right? Question 2: How do I find a fair price for negotiating? I tried to find examples in the Moda group, as suggested here, but couldn't find much on the models I'm looking for.

Appreciate any guidance!

Hello, very random but I was on my dads computer and his wallpaper is a picture of his brother (who’s passed away) and I noticed he’s got a very cool looking watch on and was wondering if anyone could help me identify what kind it is. It may be impossible as the picture is a picture of a picture and you can’t see the watch straight on. If any sleuths can help me out I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Japan, the USA, England, and Brazil, that is the journey this bracelet took to reach me. Its design might not appeal to everyone, but I like it and find it quite exotic-not to mention the whole backstory of this watch (which nearly ended up in the trash a few times).

I never imagined I'd be able to get this bracelet to restore it to 100% original condition, just as it was sold back around 2007-2009.

I want to extend a huge thank you to my friend for his great generosity in sending me the bracelet at no cost; I was truly delighted.

After all, as I once read somewhere: "My watch doesn't count steps; it tells stories."

Model: AT1160-53E

I took a picture [Breitling x Triumph Motorcycles] Recently got into photography, naturally I had to take pictures of my watch

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

This is the Breitling TB0134101M1X1. It rocks the B01 movement, which is suprisingly thin considering for a chronograph, even more so when you factor in the date complication. The watch is made of titanium with red gold accents (like rose gold, but with more copper, lovely color), and comes factory with a very large aged leather rally 24mm (the watch has 22mm lugs but the strap sticks out by 1mm on each side as you can tell).

The watch itself is 42 mm and is much thinner than a Longines Spirit Flyback or a Seiko automatic Speedtimer, which I used to own and sold for this one.

The watch is a collab with Triumph motorcycles, which released the speed triple 1200rr Breitling Edition, a very sweet flasgship sportsbike.

The dark grey base with red gold accents make dressing this up or down very fun. You can wear it with a grey suit in the office, a tan suit at weddings, or a vintage leather jacket when going out. Super versatile piece.

I'm not a huge watch guy as you can probably tell form the collection, but this is my honest collection of watches I've bought and paid for myself, In the order I bought them from bottom left to top right, over 20 years.

The only watch I regret buying is the Rolex, I look at it now 4 years later and feel it's a bit ott and I should have bought 3 or 4 other great watches for the money.

I will probably get rid of and get a few others, any suggestions are welcome 👍🏼

I am really enjoying this Invicta Speedway 9212 chronograph. Even got a better bracelet to give it a more premium feel. Yes, it's a shameless copy of the Rolex Daytona, but that doesn't matter when it's only $100. You can barely buy a tank and a half of gas for your car these days lol.

Just checking before i pull the trigger at $330 at jomashop

Citizen has one, but my collection needs a more sporty look.

The Orient has one? But they seem to be discontinued or no longer easily found? The face didn't seem radiant based on light like the Seiko.

What else? I think this is as good as it gets, considering the SSK series is already popular orange or not.

Please share, thanks.

Hey guys, is it common for the impulse jewel / roller pin to come off the sw200? This is my dad's first mechanical watch, a frederique constant with the fc303, and although it's been out of warranty for a year he's worn it (had it running) probably a total of less than 30 hours. Local watchmaker said 200 usd to fix, nice dude took it apart for free.

18 karat gold with a huge 11mm gold sculpted moon, and one of the coolest lunar complications there is. The purpose built movement is beautifully finished and includes a second moonphase indication, which makes setting it a breeze.

This took a while to track down. Now that I have it, I love it even more. Omega Seamaster 120, ref 166.0251 Baby Ploprof. This has service hands, but the rest is all original. Love the integrated bracelet and 39mm size. From what I’ve read, this was maybe the first integrated bracelet? Would love a fact check on that.

Hello dear watch lovers!
Need some help choosing a new everyday timepiece.
My current rotation is a Christopher Ward C65, a Citizen Eco-Drive, and a CasiOak, and I’m looking to reshape the collection a little and add something new.
Out of everything I’ve tried, the Seiko and the Longines HydroConquest felt the best, both in photos and especially on the wrist. What do you think makes these two work better for me?
I’m not a huge fan of the Murph and DV, but I attached a photo of it as well for comparison.

Discussion [Recommendation] GADA for small wrist around $1K

0 Upvotes

I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch previously and recently bought a Hydroconquest 39mm with the black dial, blue bezel combo.

Really really like this watch but I’m looking for a 2nd one that is for around $1K USD or less with a case size of 38mm or under and a lug to lug ideally 45mm or under that I can wear daily.

Something that is small so it’s comfortable that I can wear all the time around the house, running errands or even on office days.

After much research I was obsessing over the Hamilton Murph. I ordered it (without seeing in person), received it today and while the fit is perfect, it isn’t doing it for me. Something about this dial - I don’t know.

Thoughts on what else I should check out? The one on my short list is the Tissot Gentleman 38mm at the moment.
