I was just curious if we have any watch fans on NICO. I think I've caught the bug with these things! Speak up if your out there!

I have a Casio... ..........

..but I get a lot of compliments on it!



Has a nice amber light I got it because I tend to destroy watches/jewelry at my job by accident.

I love watches but all the badass chronographs are for men

I like that! Any idea where to get one? All I wear watch wise, is a several year old cheap chinese gift watch that my grandpa gave me (he was given it as a gift and didn't want it). I have always wear it to work, and it shows.

I have a green Tag Heuer somewhere that I found in a box of clock parts. Couldn't find a picture of it online, so IDK what kind it is.

I got mine from here

http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WA...e.htm

ordered and received 2 weeks after I paid. I've only ordered from them once so I can't vouch that they are always like that, but I had no issues.

If you are going to go, might as well go all-out.



Panerai watches are the bomb. They cost more than 99% of NICO members cars.

That being said I rock a velcro strap Timex I found in a park.

Edit: It has two more hands, so it can give other watches four thumbs down!!

^ Classy!

Don't wait for the lottery, just set a little bit of money aside at every paycheck until it is yours! $2800 (Edit: $5k for the LE) is not too hard to save up. Not like a $40k Panerai.

Just read it is big enough to be used as a desk clock. Hope you have a big wrist!

I'm no Dattebayo but I can make it work. Nixon and Bell and Ross make my favorite watches ever. It would be tough for me to pick a color on the B&R.

You already have picked a color! The LE BR01-92 only comes in blue.

I'm partial to Citizens. I think the cost/quality ratio is hard to improve on.

I daily a Nighthawk that was given to my after flight school.

Mmm, I was about to buy one of these, but it was too blingy for me.So I just bought a Swatch and a black strap for it, because the original strap that came with it is ugly, as you can see here... It's an automatic mechanical watch.

Wednesday, I was cleaning out my garage and I know I have a casio from middle school that still has an alarm that goes off around 10:30-11. I should find it and get a new strap, because that thing obviously is a beast and good to batteries.

Here's my watch for more special occasions:



(Second one isn't my pic)

I want to get a Nixon Newton:



or The Murf:



Yeah... Nixon makes some cool stuff. I would have a hard time choosing a color though. :P

Once my tax return comes in, I'm getting one of these.

Stauer 1930 Dashtronic

For some reason, I like most of the watches that Stauer makes too.

Here's the current daily rotation and the new hotness in it's box, a few watches aren't pictured. Left to right, Invicta Ocean Ghost III GMT orange face, Invicta Ocean Ghost I Automatic silvertone/cobalt blue, Fossil Carbon Fiber chrono w/ poly/steel strap (the rugged watch, haha) and my fossil 'blue' orange face from junior high, haha.



The new hotness is a Stuhrling Original limited edition "Midnight Falcon" blue/black, #211 of 250. This watch has been #1 on my list for over a year and I finally had a chance to buy one and it was on a one hour super special at 3am so I pulled the trigger It's no Rolex or Breitling, but it's cool as s***. It has a Swiss Ronda 530.D 6 mineral quartz movement.





and a few dealer photos because i'm in love with this watch.







I've got my eye on a few others at the moment, but all on hold until the S14 is back up and running. I need my car back for my sanity! haha

There's so many clocks, phones, and other devices in this world that keep time. I havent worn a watch since middle school.

Watches are accessories. No one really wears them to tell time, otherwise they'd be all cheap digital Casios.

As far as my watches, I have a Nixon, Michael Kors, and a Dolce and Gabanna watch. I'm too lazy to take pics lol.

But I do wear them all. I see no point in having nice watches unless you wear them. My mom wears her Rolex every day.

I wear watches to tell time, not as an accessory. Not digital either. I would rather look at my wrist than pull a phone out of my pocket or find a clock.

I guess i'm a multi-user then, because I use my watches to tell time, and I use them as an accessory... Just like my hats, I use them as an accessory and to keep the sun out of my eyes/ when i dont feel like doing my hair.

Hats/ Watches = guy bling, and i'm ok with that. You'll never see me wear a dam bracelet or a dam necklace. That ish is for teh w0menz.

I can't have stuff dangling off of my body. It bugs me. My watches have to fit tightly too.
