Those tokyo watches look pretty sick while hose oobject ones look like they would piss me off and this is because I have thought about getting a watch that tells time in binary code.

I think the wide leather strap watches are still trendy. For example:

Does it have to be leather strap? How about enamel? :lol: Check out Nixon's rotologs. They have a bunch of different flavors. Wooden straps, enamel, etc. They do have rotologs in leather though. They stand out and would be something very different from the collection you got there. They sale for about 150 on up depending on the material it's made from and such. Leathers aren't gonna run that high.

I got the white enamel one a while back. DOPE.

I think those are kinda cool but are borderline geeky...Its like those old calculator watches that can control the tv back in the 80s...I might get one though as some do looks pretty sleek...I dont know if i call pull it off though...

I think the wide leather strap watches are still trendy. For example:

Yeah that's something i was kinda looking for...I like the wide leather strap but not really feeling the watch itself though...

Thread starter rocks fake clothes, so why not just rock a fake watch too?

Actually in the pic one of the Rolex is fake...

Bottom row left to right (Tag Heuer, Croton, Rolex, another Rolexl, & Marc Ecko)

I like wearing Fossil watches but i already have two so i dont need another one...Anybody here own any Swatch? How are they?

Stuckey
07-15-2008, 04:45 AM
^ Swatch is bullshit. Are you serious? If you aren't feeling those Nixon's, how about Burberry? They make some pretty unique shit too. Might be a little over your price range though.

I think if you're willing to spend up to 1k you should probably wait, save up and spend a little more. Watches in that price range still look and feel cheap.

> 3k gets you beautiful timepieces. If you spend a lot on a watch it will last you for many years or even a lifetime.

If you're in the States and don't mind possible crack laced/blood stained (maybe you even prefer them) watches, PropertyRoom has some nice watches that always go for super cheap.

If you live by one of the pick up centers, you can actually just save yourself on shipping too :lol: :tup:

hahah, only 3 of those watches exist in the world at this moment, its 81k...its a limited edition watch, they are planning on making 111 total, but they are all hand made and take a while for them to be made so that is watch #3...also from what i saw there was no added value to the watch like gold, platium, diamonds, so that price is purely based on craftsmanship...

Wow, no amount of craftmanship is worth 81k, that's madness.

Some of these watch companies that have historically made pilot watches are so far up their own arses. That watch is nice, but it's certainly not mindblowing, i don't think it looks better than the ones i posted. It's like those breitling watches, so boring and overpriced!

Just want to let you know you have AWESOME taste, I'm gonna get a Nixon as soon as I get some scratch, I've been looking for a watch for about a year, but I wanted something unique not a lot of people have, and some of those Nixons are exactly what I've been looking for.
