They around $250. I don't really know anything about watches, I don't really wear one right now, only occasionally. The second one caught my eye though when I was looking around the other day.

My OM arrives tommorrow

There's not much gshock love here, but I think this one is pretty hot

Atomic / Solar
Whole bunch of geeky frivolous stuff: moon, tide, world timer, timer/stopwatch/alarm

$120

Only bad thing is that it's supposed to be absolutely huge, 52mm lol?

The 7900 is hot IMO.

52mm sounds lolbig, but digital watches wear differently. A lot differently.

Picked this up today and was really excited. My first nice watch! MSRP was 2.2k and the dealer accepted my offer of 1.8k cash

Well done. Those are pretty nice. I have a vintage one w/ red second hand.
They can be had a bit cheaper, but why quarrel over nickels if you are confident in the post-sale service that dealer would provide. The peace of mind alone is worth a few bucks.

Longines launched their new collections today, some of these are pretty clean!

Nice looking stuff, tho.

Notice the increasing use of the red second hand year over year.

Can anyone recommend some cool "dressy" vintage watches for under $2-300 that I could probably find on eBay?

I'm looking at you Watchmaker!

Thanks in advance.

Watchmaker:

How's that ninja watch going? Admittedly I haven't made it through all 20 pages of this new thread, but I did search and didn't find a mention.

Separately, thoughts on Seiko's Spring Drive? I'm not in absolute love with any of the current stylings (some arabic # choices would be nice) but the mechanics look _sweet_.

i have never heard of a gshock having quality problems ever in my life. ever.

maybe you had a fake or something but i just dont see how it's possible to have 3 break. these are some of the most durable watches money can buy were talking about

i have heard that luminox's aren't as durable as one would assume and they break pretty easily although i dont have any first hand experience.

for what you're doing id probably get a gw-9200, it has baro-alti-thermo functionality + solar power + atomic timekeeping + durability and alot of other stuff like world time etc



theres video reviews everywhere if you want to see what they look like on video like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPoROLRAuy8 this guy is pretty boring to listen to but it shows the watch in detail so w/e

you can find them for like 150-190
