You guys have some good taste. I really liked that midnight falcon until I saw how big it is, that's just insane.

My wife told me she'd get me a 120g saltwater tank the day I propose to her. We just celebrated out 3 year anniversary, were engaged for 2 years and still no tank. Don't do it bro!

Here's my pride and joy. For about 6 years I wanted this watch which was discontinued. Even our local Movado outlet and then I found one at a random jeweler in the mall. I got it for a steal $1500. Unfortunately I'm out of town so no personal pics but here's a glamor shot.

Movado Valor Version 1 with Tungsten Carbide Band.

I'm a huge Movado fan and have 4 limited edition ones that are pretty awesome. I'll try to take some cool macro shots when I make it back to the west coast.

My daily and prized possession. It was my grandfather's up until he passed. My mom got two of his watches and his pocket watch, which I can't get open. My uncle has his very expensive Rolex.

I want me one of these

ah. eh, i tried the rubber strap. ive got big manly arms, and so the rubber strap was too small. also, this is a big watch with a case size of 44mm. the regular f1's have a 42mm case which does make a big difference. i absolutely love this watch. they are negotiable to a point. id estimate 15% off. maybe slightly more depending on the sale. macys every now and then does 20%.

Ya it is a big watch. Looking freaking sweet tho! 20% could still be $300! Ill put my negotiating skills to the test tho.

This is the way I want mine to look

I've been looking for a watch I can slap a brown band on, as there are times I just don't feel like wearing my blacked out Nighthawk. I found this last night. Thoughts?
Watches are so subjective. Tissot makes nice traditional styled watches. IF you like it, and it's genuine, doesn't appear to be a bad deal. To me, unless a nekkid Danica Patrick was attached to it (she's a spokesperson for them) that particular one doesn't grab me.
Update!
Sorta answered my own question;

You have to buy a watch winder. Most of the nice ones start at around $100. I just got my first automatic so I havnt got mine yet. Probably pick one up later this week.
