That's the white face, not the cream.

Not possible to compete with pwack's GS from a few posts ago, but here's my pretender; SARB035 which I got a couple of weeks ago.

less than 2 days left on this watch auction and im the highest bidder. Sweatin'
It's that period again of the year.
I'm a little down in the dump and i'm thinking about buying a tacky expensive watch i don't need to compensate
Which one? For what? Come on stop teasing us!
It's that time of the year when I tell you not to
Seriously though, the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual is ridiculously cool, not so expensive, and 'fun' (not tacky, but it could work ) with the color dial...
oh sure like im going to tell you guys! i'll let you know after the auction is finished!
So when will i be able to buy my Hublot and look like a russsian oligarch?
Now I hope to see a crazy cool piece for peanuts
You don't get to, that's the beauty of it!
Seriously though, try the Oyster Perpetual and the blue milgauss at your favorite AD, at least you'll forget about your problems while buying something cool
It's not going to be for peanuts, sadly. It will be an overpay.
Edit: Auction over, I won. It was for a Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Military (their Milsub homage) v1 which has skyrocketed in price ever since it was replaced with a v2 that is not as good.
Sure, it's an homage but its something that you will never, ever own an original of or even dream of doing so. So doesn't feel so bad!
Edit: arrived this morning!
Really impressed with it. looks great, feels great, case feels like quality. Machined clasp, but the buckle is kind of cheap. otherwise the bracelet is really good.
I haven't owned a watch since I was a child and I am still a student so I don't have much money, but damn if I don't want to be wearing a watch. Are lower price range watches even worth it really? I don't want to wear something on my wrist that screams low quality.
What kind of price range are you thinking about? As a fellow broke af student, there are some good looking entry-level watches out there.
Probably $200 max, but I am expecting a large scholarship in November so I might be able to push it a bit higher.

[quote="Uni on Everything!, post: 180509014"]I just picked this guy up yesterday after almost a full year of reading forums and doing research. I always thought Rolexes were for the older generation and never thought I'd buy one, but the more I read and researched about the company the more impressed I became.[/QUOTE]
[quote="PjotrStroganov, post: 180982950"]The Srp637 has arrived!

So happy I pulled the trigger. It bigger and heavier than the 007 but just as comfortable. And despite its appearance it is very refined in its appearance. The tooled shroud and recessed bezel make it feel like a high precision tool. I love it![/QUOTE]
I've been meaning to reply earlier, they all look great.
Hope you're all enjoying them.
[quote="GalacticSushiman, post: 181013266"]Apparently, I can't stop buying Universal Geneve watches... (Polerouter Sub, 1960s).[/QUOTE]
I can't stop drooling at this one.
I love the Polerouter subs, and this configuration (12 hour bezel and funky numerals) seen here is my personal favorite and I hope to find one someday: [url]http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?196641-Universal-Geneve-Polerouter-Sub[/url]
I've really been looking into getting a vintage watch next with divers being on the shortlist:
-Seiko 62MAS
-Seamaster 300 (first gen, or it's sibling the Seamaster 120 first gen)
-Polerouter Sub
I'm just so paranoid about getting fakes or frankens, especially from eBay.

This is also the main reason I haven't been able to get myself to try a vintage watch.
Hey guys!, i bought a Tissot prc200 from eBay a couple of years ago but its just been sitting in its box since then. I decided i would start wearing it today, but after googling about this watch it looks like i may have been sold a fake. Is there anyone here who could tell if i post photos? should i just email Tissot with the serial number?

thanks for the link. mine looks the same as the one on their page so obviously i was sold a fake
I clicked on the link. And of course, it's just 4 years old, but the prices are already completely off...
Stay away from Seamaster 300 for now. They are either 'ok priced' and then most likely franken/assembled from NOS pieces, of crazy priced, and then all original Those were alwayserrr ok, sought after, but since the re issue, they've gone crazy (like even crazier than the market...).overpriced
The Polerouter Sub 3rd generation (which is the one you want, the guy on TZ is wrong, it's a 3rd gen with the acrylic bakelight bezel, like mine) is much (MUCH) less franken-ed / faked than the 1st generation (or a seamaster for that matter). And the one you want with the numerals is not the most expensive execution these days.
What to look for in this particular model: bezel material (stainless steel or acrylic), case (symmetrical or asymetrical, this one being much more expensive), inclusion of an original UG bracelet (those stuff are worth hundreds alone), and all the classic stuff (the dial must be untouched, even patina on dial and hands, crown/dial/movement signage, etc.).
These little boys are rapidly gaining value, if I were you I'd shoot now
OMG, the 6309 has arisen from the grave! Will it replace the 007?
What are the dimensions for those new Seiko watches? I realy like that blue bezel one, too. As for the movement, is it an upgrade from the 007?
