[Closed] Show me your bling watches cos it's Sunday and I'm bored

[img] [/img]

Wow I haven't seen one of them for a very long time

Not too expensive & now with a proper strap, but worn daily & loved.

[IMG] [/IMG]

This is my newest piece:

[IMG] [/IMG]

[img] [/img]

Loving the tag, I'm currently winning a vintage one on the eBay at the moment. Needs a little bit of work but will be very nice after a service and a polish

Good luck enduroforever you won't regret it 🙂

second one in take an hell of a hammering but holds up extremely well
very reliable too

Brakes. Is that one of those transforming watches?

There is a transformers watch in eBay right now, a blue one

[img] [/img]

Here is one of my fave watches bought for me by an ex girlfriend around 15 years ago. Probably gets worn once or twice a year
[IMG] [/IMG]

My wife bought this for me last week for our anniversary. Very lucky I am too:

[img] [/img]

Not especially "bling" at all but a lovely thing.

On its way:
[img] [/img]

Very nice. I like the wavey dial, looks similar to the omega seamaster

I had a Seamaster before this: the CW is built every bit as well from what I've seen so far. Really like it.

Here's my fave divers watch. Fully polished around 6 months ago as I didn't like the brushed outer links now just got a few light marks on the strap it could do with a light polish to get it back to perfect again

[IMG] [/IMG]

Brakes- I had that very watch! I never would of remembered that, must of been over 25 years ago!

Throughout my life I've continually lost or broken watches, thought I'd go for a cheaper more replaceable number this time...I really didn't realise this guy used to wear one[img] [/img]

I'm particularly pleased with this at the mo':
[img] [/img]

Casio F91W - terrorists favourite watch lol

it's not my watch, nor my feminine wrist.
I did have one though, and wish I still did, it was possibly the greatest thing I have ever put on my wrist (avoiding any filthy anecdotes).
was the blue one the Decepticon one?

:!AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM!:

I think it was yea. I had the red one

Not particularly bling but I like it.

The movement on this is outstanding.....at 06:30 in the morning!

I was looking online for individual pictures of my two decent watches, and found one with both in the same picture. Omega Seamaster and a Breitling Superocean Steelfish. Currently have the Breitling on a brown leather strap which works really well, as mine has the blue dial.

Here's my four, in order of age, starting with my first proper grown-up watch, a Yema Rallygraf. French, mechanical, around '72-73. Hadn't worn it since the mid 80's after I bought a TAG, but recently had it repaired and serviced:

[IMG] [/IMG]

My TAG Series 1000, well-worn, as you can see:

[IMG] [/IMG]

My Yokobies mod Seiko 5, with a Tissot bracelet that was originally on the Yema, also dating from the early Seventies

[IMG] [/IMG]

And my Seiko SPORK, with 'sharkskin mesh' bracelet I got from eBay for $35, and which I'm wearing right now:

My everyday watch is a Suunto Core all black

I haven't worn a watch for 30 years. I just don't get wearing watches. The only watch I have ever owned and still have somewhere is one of these bad boys...

[img] [/img]

I also have a Halios Laguna, niche boutique watch, but I loved the retro cushion case, internal bezel and dual crown, so had to buy one.

My poshest watch:

Not my pic. Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Magnate GMT. Good name.

Just got a Ralf Tech WRX 2008 it's mahoosive.

d'oh ... double post.

See next thread. 🙁

This is my daily watch now with everything I need in a watch like solar power, world time and atomic timekeeping.

Casio G-Shock GWM5610-1

[url= http://www.gshock.com/watches/Classic/GWM5610-1# ]Tech specs[/url]

Mine is similar to the one on the right but I swapped the strap with the one on the left.

[img] [/img]

I guess I will wearing this watch for a long time and the next one will probably be the same brand again, perhaps even the same look but super tough. 😀

Submariner non date.

Today's 'beater', Patek 5711 Nautilus:

I have a thing for watches although can't afford (justify) 4 figures on one.

Fave at the moment is this Festina titanium doofer.

Nearly 20 years old and still working well although the strap needs some attention.

Quite a mixed understanding to the meaning of 'bling' on this thread.

Indeed, some right goppers, some interesting and unusual stuff, some bling.

I'm struggling to like any of them more than my current watch. The Core all black also. Again not exactly bling...

My fave at the moment. Gets brought out a month or so at a time then back away for a month or so. No danger of ever loosing it off my wrist, it's by far my heaviest watch weighing over 280g

[IMG] [/IMG]

Are you Bobby George 🙂

Dad's 1972 Constellation Chronometer, inherited in 1999 and now my everyday watch.

Lol @ Jeffc 'beater' !

Sadly I have no bling to post nowadays but am happy with a Zeno, Precista PRS3 and a Seiko black monster for daily duties.

My new Ball Fireman Ionosphere. Purchased at a bargain price in the Ernest Jones sale. It will do until my 40th birthday in a few years, when I plan to add a Tudor Black Bay to the collection.

DS, that item of cothing is messing with my brain - I want to think you're wearing that on the left wrist and it's an oven mitt! (nice strap/face combo)

I bought this the other week, the Grey one on the right. Taken by it's simplicity, elagance and Bauhaus stylee. I really like it.

[img] [/img]

currently this

[img] [/img]

however i don't have 3 grand spare, so mine is a quality 'replica'

flail as you wish

My fully polished Breitling auto. Keep looking at the emergency but can't have it all

[IMG] [/IMG]

[IMG] [/IMG]

Simple but attractive Seamaster 150.

Not the most expensive nor the blingiest but it was a 30th birthday present from my wife. I've worn it nearly every day for the last 6 years:

[img] [/img]

Only had to replace the battery earlier this year but now the strap is in need of replacement. Just got a quote from an independent Seiko/Briel spares supplier and they want £50, just for the leather parts! Eek!

My standard watch
[img] [/img]

My weekend watch (I know some will hate this, but I've just always wanted one - my Dad has a Seamaster from the 1960s, so I like the connection)
[img] [/img]

Not at all bling but I'm gonna post it anyway (hey, at least it's an auto). Seiko erryday beater with a custom strap by the excellent [url= http://www.31trum.com/ ]31trum[/url].

[img] [/img]

Planning to upgrade to a Junghams Max Bill or vintage Constellation in the future.

I wouldn't say it was bling, but I have a Seamaster which was my present to myself for passing my Paramedic course. It would be in everyday use if work hadn't banned wrist watches

I've always worn my watch on the 'wrong' wrist, not sure why but it feels more comfortable. I see what you mean about the over glove look though 😆

Bought this from pennies my parents left me 🙂 ..... something to remind me of them

[img] [/img]

My everyday watch

[img] [/img]

Stumpy, like that a lot.

Lovely looking watch nicko74.

Don't have an actual picture of mine, however Google supplied one.

Breitling Montbrillant Datora. Also have a brown croc strap with deployant clasp which is due to go back on.

Bling watches and someone posts a Nixon? Fail.

Sadly, any bling watch needs to be a Swiss automatic with an in-house movement at very least.

Unless it's a transformer watch of course

Not bling, but my favourite.
In need of a new crystal and service, but has a nice original face. MOD issue Hamilton chrono from the first batch. Markings on the back (W10) indicate it was originally intended for the army, but 6BB shows it was actually issued to the RAF, in 1970.
Might only be a couple of dozen left, of the 4-500 originally issued in the batch.
Pity there's no way to trace who it was issued to.

Here's my Speedmaster after I put it through the washing machine 👿

And when it came back from Omega after having the full ' Trigger's broom treatment'.new face,crystal,hands,pushers,movement, bracelet and I'm not too sure if it wasn't a new case.Worn it 3 times since due to me being a ham fisted buffoon

Bought this a couple of years ago while I was on holiday in the States. Couldn't decide between the black strap or stainless, until the girl in the shop said I could get the stainless one and they had the black straps in stock to buy seperately.

[img] [/img]

Sausagefingers - Yes but look at it now, that's a stunner.

I'm very into my early 70s watches

One of mine
A 1972 omega seamaster 300hz tuning fork watch, or 'hummer' cone as it's known.
[img] [/img]

DS, I'm liking your Ball Fireman very much, they look particularly good in the dark, too.
That Breitling Montbrillant Datora bowie278 is very much the sort of watch I dislike; far too much going on, I'd need to put my reading glasses on everything I'd want to see the time, just too fussy.

All titanium case and bracelet.
And what it looks like in the dark:

[img] [/img]

Nice vinnyeh... I had one of what I guess replaced those...

[img] [/img]

Tudor - very classy

needs to be a Swiss automatic

*Cries*

I've actually got quite fond of staggering downstairs in the morning in a bleary-eyed state, switching kettle on, getting some eggs/porridge out and then winding the watch up!

Vinnyeh, liking your Hamilton, needs a bit of TLC, but a nice watch.
Sausagefingers, I'm not going to ask how your poor Omega got into a washing machine, but they did a lovely restoration job on it. I'd have been heartbroken if I did that to my Yema, having had it from new for forty-something years.

CountZero, like the look of that Tudor in the dark. It's kinda the one thing I'm not impressed by with Omega. 🙁
