My Rocky and Bullwinkle Fossil. Last time I took it to Fossil for a battery replacement, they told me to stop wearing it and put it away. Apparently they're pretty rare.

Nice choice on the Orange Monster! I have a BM and will probably invest in an OM at some point. IMO they are bar none the best value in divers watches on the market.
 
Guy at my company recently had a Rolex Submariner delivered. Funny thing is the package was MIS-DELIVERED to another company who opened it before realizing it wasn't for them. They actually took the time to bring it to us (I think I'd have hit up ebay 😀). My g/f took it to him, so I got some time to look it over.

Nice watch, but I'd never pay the $2500 he did (used) for a watch. It was just stainless, too... Nothing all that special looking.

I don't understand him paying that kind of cash, he does alright but he's by no means wealthy. He said his last one lasted him 20 years, he traded it in when the jeweler wanted $400 for a cleaning.

Similar to this one, without the big number on top.

i'm wearing the tag kirium automatic chronograph with blue face that my wife bought for me.

got to love the sweeping second hand.
 
you all seem to wear fairly expensive watches. I found one, the Fossil Titanium Black face that I really loved. The only problem was, the moment I found it, a good friend of mine informed me he'd just bought it. I would get the blue face, but it has a bright blue rim around it that just looks bad. Still looking for a replacement to my LAKS 128mb Memory storage watch (the band broke.. and the USB port with it) for preferably under $150
 
I'm still looking for a reasonably priced durable pocketwatch. Most pocket watches seem fragile, or way overpriced (ie: Wenger and Victorionox pack watches)

I don't have any watches of nearly that caliber, but I will say that a truly fine watch is not a bad investment, and Rolexes are uniquely excellent in this respect. They will hold their value and actually appreciate over time, since the designs change only subtly, and the rigidly-enforced MSRP keeps going up and up and up.

I'm rocking my Diesel Watch right now. Goes with just about everything. Its fancy enough to wear with a suit but can still be worn with a tshirt and jeans.

I like watches like that, that look different. The Seiko and other silver banded watches just seem so... adult, to me.
 
I like that Mao watch. Just dont know if i'll work for a while.

Otherwise I would gladly pay 15 bucks for it.
