The Watch Thread

mikpop93 · 12-15-2013, 07:59 AM

I love watches. I've recently started up a collection of watches. I have a couple of fake Rolexes that look really nice and a couple of other more expensive ones. My dream watch is an Omega. So beautiful.

I own an Omega Aqua Terra chronometer. An Oris diver and a CWC British military watch I wear for work.

Love to add an Omega Speedmaster to the collecton, along with a Stowa Antea, or Stowa Marine.

I'm gonna buy a watch I think. Not arsed about spending stupid money (150 max), something half decent like, no designer names, metal bracelet, analogue display.

Anyone know what I should be looking at?

Seiko, Swatch, Casio?

Cheers lads.

For years I wanted a Nomos watch. Swiss made and minimalistic.
Very stylish and looks good formal or in the street.

Have a look at this one CB. Its a Nomos copy;

EDIT: China made copy of a German Nomos, not Swiss.

Nice one mate cheers. Think in terms of looks, I'm going for something like this:

Does it make a difference it being Swiss? What should I be looking for?

I'm not on a budget I just don't want to spend if it's not necessary, I'm tight.
