  • Last Friday, Miyako and I had our 21st anniversary. We decided it would be cool to get his and hers watches. We may go for matching pieces but that limits our choices a bit. Here is what we're looking at for the moment.

    Longines HydroConquest Quartz 34mm Ladies Watch
    Longines HydroConquest Quartz 41mm Mens Watch

    If we go for different designs, I'm looking at the following:
    Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch
    Formula 1 Chronograph Mens Watch 43MM
    Longines HydroConquest Automatic Chronograph 41mm Mens Watch

    This here is my GrandPa's pocket watch. It's currently the only one I own. It's a Benrus that was given to him back in 1937 when he graduated high school.

          I know nothing about watches but was curious.

          $200 should have been your first clue

            • I keep telling myself that when I graduate in December I'm getting that present I've wanted for quite a while now... but then I think about it more and just feel guiltly lol. I know no matter how much I protest my wife will end up buying it for me though, so I'll check in here at the end of the year with a picture.

              I didn't read this last page earlier, but catching up now this made me laugh out loud

                  • This may have been mentioned but are there any legit websites that sells authentic at a discount. I've been really eyeballing the Tag Carrera 01.

                        Jomashop.com and AuthenticWatches.com are both legit. Just be aware that these are gray market purchases that are not covered by the manufacturers warranty. The sellers themselves provide a warranty instead.

                          • For what's it worth, I have a pretty nice Omega that I've had for years (Ti/18k rose gold) and I bought an Apple Watch about a year ago during the black Friday stuff ($100 discount). It's a plain Apple Sport, but man it's pretty functional and gets me to move my butt more with the activity apps it has. My Omega has been in a lockbox ever since...

                            • I picked this one up for a good deal a couple months ago and really like it. Not flashy like the Rolex but has a nice solid feel. I gotta dial in my winder as if I wear it it keeps perfect time but on the winder after a week of not wearing it it gains 2 minutes.

                              Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
