Is anyone an expert on watches?

 

I always said when I got a great job I'd buy a nice watch, and I recently got a promotion.

 

What are the best brands? Is Movado all that? (money is no option so fire away with the best of the best)

Rolex is the obvious choice, but it could get you held up.

 

Patek Philippe, A Lange, Armin Strom, Sohne, IWC, Zenith, Vacheron, Thomas Prescher, Greubel Forsey, Urwerk, MB&F , FP Journe, & Philippe Dufour.

 

 

Me? A nice Citizen EcoDrive is a great watch to own, imo.

 

Works great, easy to get repaired, and under $700.

 

 

What's the point of an expensive watch? Pointless.

Some people may find expensive watches to be pointless, and that's fine. However, my mom (who passed away last December) used to collect watches and clocks. I told her that one day when I have a good job, I'll buy one. Once she passed, I knew I really had to live up to this, and like I said, I got a promotion so I can afford a really nice watch.

Patek Philippe has a couple of nice watches for only $1.5 million each.

 

 

I got a nice Movado and I like it. I work with alot of people that wear Rolex watches, but I feel like I'll get f***ing robbed with it on the train or bus.

I like audemar piguets the most.

Thanks for the help, guys.

I have a Nixon and a Rolex. Like others have said, I love my Rolex but don't wear it too much because not wanting to get jacked over it. Love the Nixon watch, constantly get compliments on it.

No Tag love here? I got mine as a gift. Probaby wouldn't have picked it myself, but I've come to really love it. They're a nice combination of sporty/dressy.

I like my Fossil that I got as a bowl gift.

 

I'm not sure many people wear watches as timepieces anymore. Purely as part of how they look.

Yeah, they are just jewelry nowadays. I hate wearing a watch myself. So annoying.

I'm personally a fan of Tag's, Omega, Breitling.

How about a nice Chopard?

I'm an attorney, so I actually need my watches when I have to be multiple places, so I even have a Snoopy watch I wear if I don't want to be too fancy!

It looks like a flower.

What kind of watch can help you be multiple places at the same time? I need to get myself a snoopy watch!

Hope you saw the pricetag on that flower!

haha, I wish it was that magical, but I just meant I actually need to be aware of the time and not constantly pulling out my phone to check.

I had a Snoopy Red Baron watch when I was a kid. the second hands were clouds that circled around Snoopy on his doghouse.

I like this one.

Whoa. That thing is intense!

Before I got married, I bought a Rolex...a stainless GMT Master II, which I've had since early 2006. I've worn it everyday since I bought it, no matter where I go or what I do.

 

Before that, I had a TAG, which I also loved. I gave that to my friend when I bought my Rolex.

 

Needless to say, now that I'm married and support my family on the single income (me/wife/newborn), I don't have the money to buy things like this anymore, but I'm glad I have it anyway.

I've been told that watch use amongst the younger generation is declining rapidly on account of the fact that everyone's cell phone has an accurate clock on it.
