Patal posted a thread about his watch fetish a while back.
Personally I'd rock a pocket watch over a wrist watch, but neither are really my thing.

A good quality watch is a thing of beauty. The extravagence of some of them is a bit sickening to me ($500,000+ on a watch is just silly) but I'd never go with anything less than swiss made. Luckily I didn't have to shell out for one (like my mate who dropped $5000+ on an Omega - he's fucking rich though) as my dad got me this for my 21st birthday:

It's a self winder, you can just tell this thing will easily outlive me. Solid as fuck, I doubt you could even keep this fucker in your ass a la Pulp Fiction. It needs a service though, it's nearly 12 years old now. Can you imagine how steady a hand you'd need to dismantle this??

Interesting fact: did you know that even the most accurate watches (i.e Rolex) lose a little time every day? With a premium Rolex, it might be a fraction of a second, with a lower end swiss watch like mine it's a few seconds a day... A little frustrating when you look at it a few weeks after setting it and realising it's dropped 5 minutes.

An interesting choice for a hobby, considering I'm pretty sure you're male. Do you make money on them?

I just like them a lot and usually they're easy to find at yard or estate sales. Dunno. They're just cool.

That's odd since my watch hasn't been set in probably months (it's been at least weeks) and it's still accurate within a couple of seconds. I set it, including the second hand, to my computer's clock so they're synchronized. I use the two interchangeably, mostly while cooking. Maybe you should consider getting a Seiko? Mine isn't even a high end one.

Hes talking bullshit... watches with gears lose time because there... gears... you can only do so well with gears. Most watches use quartz. Which is much more accurate but very very boring from a watch perspective. My Grand Seiko loses 15 seconds A MONTH.
yea.. m8 dont buy into Switzerland marketing. They make good watches but only in one style There all very swiss... High quality japanese watches are often much better than the swiss these days because theres so much human labour involved. At least look at watches around the world. They all have there own uniqueness.

Here's some the rest are in the deposit box. My wife has a collection too. Sometimes you can pick them up cheap at yard sales but most likely estate sales.
People think they're useless or whatever and they actually have gold casings and stuff you can sell for scrap if the watch sucks. So you can spend a buck for 150 bucks of gold or more depending.

Just some randoms.

^ I like the costume jewelry one. It's just neat.

Yeah, I'll have to second that. I haven't set my G-shock in months, and it's still dead on with my phone.
