Hopefully you won't mind me posting a "soon to be mine" watch

Tag grand carrera. Not sure whether to go for the black face or the Tan face. I'm leaning towards the black

Wibbs · 03-04-2010 9:39am

Id be thinking black too FWIW,

Nice Zenith there, bogman, is that an El Primero?

bogmanfan · 08-04-2010 8:33am

Cheers man, it's the in-house Elite movment with GMT hand and power reserve indicator. Next stop is a Defy with El Primero hopefully...

does anyone know what you'd pick the Oris Artelier Skeleton up for, saw on page 6 of this tread and just fell in love with it..

Cyrus · 21-09-2010 6:08pm

Two new arrivals to share!

Ive bought the tag to be an every day suit watch, a brief it fulfills very well being nice and slim, currently its on an oem rally with deployant but ive a few brown straps to try!

the gmt2c is my first rolly and a 30th pressie from my lovely wife, its a keeper!

buck65 · 22-09-2010 8:22am

Well done, that Tag looks quite nice.

MiCr0 · 22-09-2010 11:39am

rolex was, its about a year old, came fully boxed as new and still within warranty etc

tag was from ebay, but interestingly the seller was a guy i had sold my old carrera chrono to on tz-uk

wow - small world :-)

Kintarō Hattori · 12-10-2010 11:24am

My everyday watch. Annoyingly I had the glass replaced not too long ago. These scratches resulted from me falling from my bike.

corpo3030 · 16-10-2010 4:26pm

A few of my watches, a Tissot automatic and 3 tuning fork watches. The second hand runs really smooth on them.

nice watches, although unfortunate hand placement on the Titus Is the bracelet to the right of it a watchadoo?

Yes it is, pretty good quality for the money and at least its easy to adjust with the basic watch tools I have at home. I just copped on what you meant about the Titus:eek:. Should have waited 5 minutes to take the pic.

corpo3030 · 17-10-2010 5:54pm

It'll be a good match for your Monster, a lot of people on another watch forum I post to use them rather than their factory issued bracelets.

I feel your pain, this happened to me too. Cost about 160 euro to replace the band and get it "polished". It still bears the scars and now I wear a cheap watch if I'm on the bike.

MiCr0 · 06-11-2010 10:13pm

I was in tokyo for 2 weeks on holidays (I'm in copenhagen on the way back now) and was trying to find a nice Seiko 5. Low and behold in the generic duty free shopping beside our gate (not the watch one, nor the large duty free) they had exactly what I was looking for

TCP/IP · 06-11-2010 10:32pm

Here is my current fav daily watch. Love the thread by the way.

MiCr0 · 07-11-2010 11:11pm

actually i posted a pic to the wrong watch - its actually one of these

51D0KIRWg3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

any one suggest somewhere in dublin to get the strap resized?

MiCr0 · 08-11-2010 3:34pm

cheers - i'd imagine this will be my last purchase for a while so i might just bring it to a shop.

i'm guessing this should be no more than 10/15 euro - or is this one of the crazy expensive things that only takes 2 minutes?

MiCr0 · 11-11-2010 10:01am

and here's it on arm

Arrived into work this morning to this. Sorry for crappy pix, just taken with HTC HD2. Picked it up brand new from a jewellers in the UK (http://www.andrewmichaels.co.uk/) that ships to Ireland. They do Tag Heuer, Mont Blanc, Bell&Ross etc if anyone is looking for good deals.

It's one of my grail watches so very happy to get my hands on it!

Technical details about the watch here:

The watch that was presented to my grandfather for 25 years of service in his job. When it came into my possesion and it was in a sad condition, but here it is serviced and with a polished crystal and new strap. It is a late 60's Longines Ultra-Chron cal431 high beat which runs at 36,000 bph. In it's day it was reckoned to be the most accurate watch, losing about 1 second per day.

Wibbs · 08-12-2010 1:32pm

Being a fan of vintage Longines niiiiiice. Very.

Rolex Daytona SS Black Dial

Maybe Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 if I win the lotto.

corpo3030 · 09-12-2010 5:22pm

Just a quick question Mr Sparkle? How do you find you G-Shock GX? I've been thinking about getting one myself, bit of a G-Shock fan, how does it wear? Excellent collection by the way.

Thanks Corpo3030, it's an expensive hobby to have!

I really like wearing this one, I have to say though, it's massive(55,5 mm x 53,6 mm x 17,5 mm) and it can be a little annoying getting stuck putting on a coat. It's nice and lightweight though and I love the look of it. It's great wearing it around work as you don't even feel it on your wrist and I'm not worried about damaging it like my other watches.

I'd try it on first before you buy it if you can due to the size of it(I like the size of it, others might not). Some of the new extra large size G-Shocks are great, had a hard time choosing between http://www.g-shock.eu/euro/lineup/gd-100-1ber/ and http://www.g-shock.eu/euro/lineup/ga-100-1a4er/ and the GX56-1A. The all look great in the "flesh."
If you've any more questions let me know.

Not sure where in Ireland would have a big selection of them.

corpo3030 · 10-12-2010 11:09am

Thanks for the advice, you're right about finding a shop that actually has one in stock, I think it'll be amazon or ebay for this.
