So im big on watches. I love them. I'm looking to make a purchase on a vintage 1913 Omega skeleton pocket watch that was converted into a wrist watch. Its a grand which is kind of steep...butttttt its pretty awesome.




does anyone else collect watches here?

Not a collector.. but watches are the only kind of male 'jewelry' that I like, and I'm kind of big on them too. I would LOVE to get some vintage shit like that, but every time I saw something that I liked, it was way too much :/

if you keep good care of them they rise in value. Call me crazy but after I purchase an Omega skeleton. I may start search for a German Nazi WWII watch. I won't wear it out in case i'm in a club, someone notices the swastika and I get beat down for being some kid of racist by some dumbass, but it would be a dope collectors item.

Nazi stuff would go for squillions man, no joke.

Not the sort of shit you'd wear to a club anyway

Neither is the Omega Skeleton, for that matter!

Oh I floss my watches haha.

Omega's are cool because they have beautiful designs and are relatively cheap compared to vintage rolex's and Patek's. I would say they are of the same quality in respects to time keeping but they are way more undervalued/

this one is going for $99 000




one of four watches used in the 1968 space expedition


baller. fuck you jay-z

Went to space in 1968? $99K is cheap, IMO. Now THAT is a collector's piece.

i actually collect bulova time pieces with the tuning fork mechanism. they are nowhere near as valuable as these though.

^ Buy this from me


Only problem is, you have to wait a little over a year as these are made once you order them.

I do appreciate a good watch, but I still don't think I'll splash out on a super expensive model.

I've had my eye on the Qlocktwo W for a while, which costs circa £700 and will probably be the most I've ever spent on a watch....

... you guys will probably hate it, though, as I guess it's more of a 'cool thing' than a nice piece of time-keeping engineering

i like clocks. Never been a fan of watches. Detailing is just too small for my eyes.

WWII watches are not that expensive. You can find a standard issued werhmacht for around 1000 - 2000. I do think that there are restrictions regarding the unit for which the watch was made depending on the country you are from. I purchased a uniform in Germany a few years ago, Legitimate and legal as far as I know.
