Every Maurice Lacroix Fan will get furious to see a ML clasp on a casio watch but beautiful watch! I like Casio a lot. I have 5 on my own from Edifice to G-Shock. Unfortunately i don't get to wear them anymore because i can not lay down my Citizen Eco-Drive

@Perthmike bought a similar watch from the same company and I really liked it. After a nice win I drunkenly decided to buy one as well. I prefer a cheapo rubber band over the nice leather band though.

Particularly impressed by the automata from VCA. My personal favorite part of Keeper of Time.

After recommending this watch to @Lemonzest I started to feel major FOMO… So here we are. The original strap from 1977 was crumbling everywhere so it had to go, can’t wait to get a new one and put this beauty on my wrist!

I have not been this excited about chips in a long, long time. Sorry, chips.

Vintage Seikos are the bees knees. One of my favorite watches is the Seiko Panda, ref. 6138-8020. Hard to find them with original parts though...

Awesome to see two of my favorite things come together in one place, I don't think the watch forum had any poker chip threads, lol. Now my question is, anyone into keyboards here? lol

Family Medicine! Grateful to have gotten my top choice back in my home state of Utah.

Saw this video about Rolexes today and it made me think of this thread. Maybe someone here will enjoy it.

I can't for the life of me get this image to rotate. It's the right orientation on my computer. Flipping it 90 - 270 degrees doesn't change how it uploads here. weird.

Nice, don't see many of these around. I love their dial work.

Oh, I love Anordain. They really do make some of the best dials out there. I've wanted one for a while but never seem to be in the market when they have one I want available. Pink and purple are both amazing. Other companies that have similar dials are waaaaay out of my range (Moser, MB&F, etc.)

I tried this on last year and absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful watch!

They really are, I love the Panda. Seiko certainly knew how to make stunning dials even back then.

 

[TheAlchemist]

I do love a nice Seiko but I think this one from their Seasons collection is my fav.

Hey peeps!! Not an immediate need, but I'm saving up for my retirement gift to myself. I'm interested in a watch that meets the following parameters:

• Movement = mechanical (automatic)
• Case size = 40mm - 47mm
• Dial color MUST BE = Ice Blue (some light blues might be acceptable)
• Case Material = gold (not white gold)
• Country of origin: the chip snob in me prefers Swiss, but I can be convinced of others I suspect.
• Price: <$15k maybe...LOL. looking to buy used in excellent condition. I suppose I could sell some chips and push $20k for the PERFECT watch.
• Prefer chronograph, but would consider others.

Here are some that are close, but no gold option with the ice or light blue dial. Breitling has a silver dial gold option on their Navitimer B01 that is beautiful.

This little known company (below) has a gold option, but I can't even afford the non gold option...LOL!!

You’re asking for an odd combo- the gold case/blue dial in particular, making it a jumbo watch makes it even harder- that’s not a popular modern option outside the 6-figure watch world (AP). Here’s the full list of options on Chrono24 given your parameters:

It’s really nice to see this thread active again!

Anyone have a Sub they're looking to sell or trade?

 

[chipinla]

Nothing crazy fancy or expensive by any means but I love Bulova. The last one in the pic doesn’t work anymore and I haven’t worn it in years. It was an old watch I wore while bartending so I’m sure it’s beyond repair.

My neighbor has one of these he’s open to selling. He says brand new.

Nice watch but looking for sub. Thanks for the heads up though

You’re looking for “subs” and now talking about “grinders”… is this still the watch thread?
