Usually I can be found wearing one of these 3. (More often TAG and Cartier than the Vintage Breitling)
In today's economy its tough to find a good event/time to wear my really nice watches so they live in the safe. |

I don't understand why people say that, with regards to the economy. I wear mine every day, I'm wearing it right now. How does the economy deter you from enjoying your time pieces?

After you have been held at gunpoint for your watch I have found myself a little bit more selective of where and when to wear my really nice watches (the ones that are worth 5 figure$)... Cost of city life I guess.
Besides why beat them up with daily wear and tear when I have the 3 shown above for that. |

It's funny how many guys on here have Rolxes. I've been a watch collector for years and Rolex may look pretty, but actually made horribly. They use movements as bad as a $100 watch.
I'm usually sporting a vintage Omega Seamaster with .601 movement, vintage gold Hamilton, Movado Portico (daily wear), or Breitling Chronomat. Those seem to be the only watches I have been wearing lately. |

rolex uses bad parts? are you joking me....you sound so stupid you need to shut up...
I have a couple watches, my daily is a $150 dollar Diesel watch with a normal brown leather band. i love it... I got a Brietling worth 8000 dollars with a full diamond face, got a nice discount on this, it was a bday gift for my 20th bday from my parents i never even wear it. i dont like it, its heavy, ill only wear it for real nice events... To the person saying you need to be real careful with these kind of watches is 100% right. You just dont want to be wearing a watch like this in the wrong neighborhood, or neck of woods. it will easily get you hurt or killed. I also have another Rolex, worth about 4000 dollars, i like this watch it might not be the sickest watch, but its very reliable. It was a pass on from my dad who wore it for 6-7 years. I like this watch because its very classy, and doesnt attrack unwanted attention. I have to admit, i really like my friends rolex submariner. Its got a silver outer band with a gold inner band. Its got a gold outer face with silver inner face. With a ruby at the 12 o clock, and 2 diamonds for 1 and 2 o clock, 4 and 5 oclock, 7 and 8 and 10 11..... its a 12k watch its SICK! |

And you should probably check you're Omega for damage since its 316L bracelet is inferior to the 904 of a Rolex. Dumbass. |

I've had the movement of a Date Just seize. After doing a bunch of research and talking with a couple of European specialists, they told me that it wasn't really uncommon. Only watch I've had that happen to. None of my vintage watches EVER have had their movements seize.
$100 was a bit of an exaggeration, but I'd take an Omega movement over a Rolex movement any day, even if the Rolex looks nicer. Not so sure I'd ever buy a Rolex again. That really put me off, especially since I know it wasn't abused. The watch was rarely worn. I have a Seasmaster about 35 years old and still keeps perfect time. |

Amongst others, a 18K white gold daytona. I don't wear it much as it's heavy and attracts unwanted attention.
my typical beaters are cheesy designer watches, bvlgari aluminium, hermes nomade, etc. I like my 40$ nike watch, also I don't see what the deal is with all this rolex hate. There have been a few watches in my family that have been hand-me-downs; among them very old rolexes, which still perform flawlessly. |

Its to much bling for me to wear it a lot though. The good ole hand me down from the Grandpa. I'll throw up a pic later. It lives in the winder pretty much.
