Post pics of your watches ***Please NO QUOTING PHOTOS***

Eoin

Yep, quartz. Happy enough with the price and all that, though it is towards the top end of what I'd like to pay at the moment.

I already have 4 other Chronos, and it just doesn't do much for me. Quite disappointed, but now I know to get a 40mm watch at least - and probably something a bit different.

If you put 400 with it I will give you a tag indi 500

I really appreciate the offer, but I can't really afford to put more money again towards another watch.

I really, really like that type of Tag though - that one would definitely something I'd wear.

Eoin

@Carpenter - can you post a link to the exact Indy 500 model you have, just in case? Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer.

Sorry about the bad photo. This strap was originally for the old Soviet Vostok I'm getting but it's going on my current Vostok for now as I can't stand those plastic "Straps".

Hey guys, I'm new to this thread but could someone explain this Vostok obsession...! Everyone here is going on about them, I've never heard of them before and just don't get it. What am I missing??

They were a soviet watch company (historical box ticked)
Cheap (Er... that box ticked)
Good quality (Same again)
Looks good in my opinion (Again, tick's the boxes)

:pac:

Hey all, first time poster in the forum here. Been thinking about getting a new watch recently, stumbled across this forum and then naturally enough ended up getting a Vostok! See the link, looking forward to receiving!

http://cgi.ebay.ie/VOSTOK-RUSSIAN-AUTO-AMPHIBIAN-DIVER-WATCH-0640f-NEW-/120769732372?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1c1e6fdf14#ht_2169wt_1139

I have a question. I particularly wanted one with a rubber strap from some of the comments am wondering if the stock one coming is going to be crap? Thinking I might go pre-order another before the watch arrives if that is generally the case.

To my knowledge Amphibias don't come with rubber straps ex works, only bracelets (or perhaps the pseudo-leather strap). So this rubber strap is most likely aftermarket ...that could be good or bad

I'd wait until you have it on your arm. Worst case scenario it'll have to do for a few days until a better one can be bought.

A nice pressie from my wife (selected by me of course):

Here's a catalogue shot of my Tissot PRC200; I've really come to like this watch.



I think I saw one with a white face go for 190 on adverts which is cracking value I think.

At first glance I read: a nice present FOR my wife ...and immediately felt sorry for her

(works the other way round though)

Put brown leather shoes on my SBDX001 Marinemaster :



Not sure about this look...the 20 mm strap may be too narrow for the watch...a notched 22mm might be better.

Any history behind them? It looks like a 80's digital to the uneducated :pac:

Nice! I'm looking at taking the bracelet off my recent Seiko acquisition and putting something funky on it.
Maybe something from these guys www.combat-straps.com

It is an 80's digital. Don't know much about it really.

^ still looks cool though


For straps I can only recommend The Strap Shop. Prices are very reasonable, Quick delivery too
