Any wristwatch enthusiasts here?

OH NO. Taking it to the dark side. Was talking to someone about this the last 2 days. Do you own or would you buy a counterfeit/replica watch?

I am in the camp they are like reprint cards. As long as you treat it like what it really is I am all in for both. Now if you try to say either are real then I have a problem with that.

Anyway I have been looking at getting a 2 tone Rolex for some time. The prices have basically doubled in the last 3 years. So I figured maybe a Tudor instead. I own a Rolex so I know how they feel. I have never owned a Tudor. So instead of paying several thousand for one I found a replica for a couple hundred. It is the same exact size/weight so I figured it would let me see if I like the watch before I threw decent money at one.

Actually glad I did it because I love how it looks but I just don't like wearing it. On a funny note the second hand fell off while I was mowing with it on. Should be an easy fix if I ever decide to fix it.

I bought a replica omega Seamaster bond, from the last movie, to gauge size and feel. Way too big for me to shell out the cash for the original. I wear it like a beater and it looks amazing for 150 dollars.

Been a while, has anyone picked up any new cool watches? I am working with a UK supplier to get one of these limited to 25 Vostok Europe watches now. For some reason they are a UK exclusive.

It is a special edition Zydrunas Savickas World Log Lift Championships watch.

Issued to me about 40 or so years ago in the Marines. All I needed then, all I need now - it still works fine, why change.

Nice watch, would you post a pic of the back?

Gold Rolex Daytona, but I usually wear a beaten up Casio Solar Atomic digital watch that never needs a battery and automatically synchronizes to the official clock in Fort Collins, CO.

It took a few days and several emails but I am now the proud owner of #24/25 made.

Now for the long wait until it arrives.

This finally arrived today. I comes with the postcard sized autographed picture.

Seen this super cool oddball watch. I love the blue face and Pepsi colored bezel. Plus Snoopy is always awesome.
