The wristwatch thread

[iva.rpm]

I have a small collection of watches. My favorite one is a Citizen Eco-Drive that my mother gave me as a gift, but I also enjoy wearing my cheap Casio F-91W. I love wristwatches, and I would like to know if there's anybody else here in this forum who enjoys this hobby, too .

I've got a few, mostly cheapy things. I'm currently wearing a Roamer Incabloc, which used to belong to my grandfather, but my favourite is the Tissot PRC 200 that my dad got me for my 21st birthday. Other than that I've got a Casio F91 in silver (tacky as hell, but I like it), 3 different Swatches, a basic Gul (surfing brand) and one with a picture of Chairman Mao where he waves his hand.

If I won the lottery then I'd immediately blow some of it on an Omega Speedmaster or Tag Heuer Carrera.

I would love to have a Omega Speedmaster or a Tag Heuer Carrera, too. A Rolex Daytona is also a very cool watch .

I'll buy a Orient Poseidon as soon as I can. I've heard that this watch is very rare outside Brazil. Luckily, I live in São Paulo, so I think it will not be hard to find one.

Believe me or not, black Casio F-91W's are very rare here in my country (the silver ones are pretty easy to find). It was very hard to find one for me. I guess Casio stopped selling it in Brazil some years ago.

The watch I use for special occasions is my Citizen Eco-Drive. It has a big sentimental value.

I'm a Citizen Titanium donkey... got two of them, an older Chronograph and a more recent Saphire. I use whichever I find first when I get up, neither has a big sentimental value.

Mine is a Super Titanium, too! It's a CA0210-51E. Beautiful watch! These watches are very expensive here in Brazil, they cost more than R$ 1000,00 (which means they cost more than US$ 500,00 in Brazil).

Mine are similar, black dial multi-functions (caliber 6870 and 0580 as far as I can make out). I'm buggered if I can find a meaningful model anywhere on the back though, or at least one that fits to the pics google produces for it
They cost me around 200€-300€ I think...

I paid something like US$ 40 in my cellphone, but my watch is worth more than US$ 750 here in Brazil. Other people would do the opposite. I guess I'm a very weird guy .

I like the watches you see on the advertising with the F1, exept the price, you could buy a cheap car for that money!!

I have a 12-year old Seiko which is the forerunner to this: http://www.roachman.com/seiko/quartz/SJW041P.jpg
12 years and it still matches with the pips every time daylight saving/wasting time comes about.

I've not doubt that it wobbles throughout the day, but the heat cycles it gets put through are quite regular and by now the crystal must have aged which has increased accuracy and reliability.
