Watch Crew: What to buy?

They are very reasonable and did not push services that are not needed. Most places I have been to have suggested a complete overhaul everytime I tell them a watch hasn’t been serviced in a couple years. I am not going to quote prices, but very very reasonable.
Mention that you got the contact info from the car forum that Matt posts on and he will know what you are talking about.

Nice size for an older Omega. Is it mid-70’s? Auto?

Sam… you kidding me with that Omega?

did you have a bad year or something?

would look so good in a vintage porsche

How’s the quality on the Invicta watches? There are a few that really caught my eye.

They were made from 69-73. It’s the manual wind cal 861.

I’ve been into vintage pieces lately. It was an ok year. :wink:

Agreed.

Not the best quality out there.

Recommend something similar in that price range?

What price range exactly? $200-300?

Definitely don’t get the Invicta.

Look at a Hamilton, Tissot, ESQ if you’re on a tight budget.

Some of the Seiko’s are good too, but I bought one a few years back for my wife that died within a few years, so I’m a little soured on them.

Will look into those. Not so much on a tight budget just can’t justify a $1,500+ for a watch. Although I’m sure people can’t justify what I spend on computers.

Can 2007 be considered vintage?

Just picked up this JLC Master Compressor. Pretty much a Grail for me. It’s on a titanium bracelet, but I also have a couple strap options.

Nice JLC. :tup:

and this thread is back on track.

So jelly!! JLC is my absolute favorite watch co.

New horse in the stable:

Finally joined Omega crew.

I’M HERE!!!

But seriously, I’ve never really been a fan of watches but last week I accidentally wore my ESD wrist band home and it got me thinking that I might like to wear one. I want to start off with something that I wont be upset to never wear again. I asked a co-worker and he suggested the Citizen Men’s BM8475-00 (img: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRCrzjehLzK6L0UvffdxKK_pEHM1EDoUI1Dxo4sW4eeDR88W3Ba-gTenXt1Tw) and I probably would have bought it if the date didn’t have white lettering. I was also a little put off by the canvas band.

Suggestions? under or around $100 is required as I am finishing up my co-op this week so the gravy train is coming to an end soon. I prefer black/dark. Nothing flashy or with too large of a face.

you won’t find anything decent for $100

Nice pick up, Mr. Bond.

I picked up this when I was in San Francisco. Not high end but gets a lot of attention. I would love a high end watch but my day to day work doesn’t really allow me to have a big one without annoying me but this is perfect.
