The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

[elzarka9]

There are so many options for you because you prefer quartz, market is filled with them. Plethora of Citizen Eco Drives, numerous Seikos and even a myriad of GShocks. There are also countless of designer watches that might suit your preferred style too.

My personal suggestion though, if you really must go Chrono Quartz, go with the Tissot PRC 200 though it's a bit bigger at 42mm.

Thanks for the recommendation man! I really like the PRC 200 with the white face. I'm looking for something with a more of a cartoonish  (idk what to describe it as) look though. Something that looks more like the Nomos even though it isn't a chrono.

Can you post which Nomos you are talking about that looks cartoonish?

 

[elzarka9]

Cartoonish probably isn't the right word but I just like font of the numerals, the cleanly recessed dial, and the long/thin hour and minute hands.

Check out the Rodina Automatic, it's like a carbon copy of the Nomos. $140: http://www.seagullwatchstore.com/Classic-Rodina-R005GB-Automatic-Bauhaus-Watch-p/r005gb.htm

Definitely going to consider picking one of those up. I was looking at the thread about them on WUS and a lot of members were saying they got them from here: http://www.good-stuffs.com/Classic-Rodina-automatic-wrist-watch-OEM-by-Sea-Gull-ST17_p_156.html I do like the one you posted more though because it has the date. Do you have any experience with either of those websites? Also, dope collection you have! 

 

[rfx45]

I have no experience with either websites but the link I posted is the official SeaGull (the watch makers brand) webstore so i think it is safe. I'd maybe search WUS for threads that might relate to the website just to be on the safe side.

I don't think you could ever take a bad pic of that watch

 

[elzarka9]

Decided to pick up a Brathwait watch. Wanted something simple with a leather strap. Sapphire crystal with a stainless strap clasp really makes it worth the price. Would have opted for the auto they make but didn't like how it had the date.

That's a nice tissot. I wanted something different and I like the lack of date and numerals. Pretty good value for the materials and the quality.

 

[c hanna]

its definately a nice watch
i'd probably through a black leather band on it

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

really like the simple classy look of these

Has anyone ever checked this swedish brand of triwa out? Watch is 150 thinking of pulling the trigger

Whats up NT fam, i need help here. Looking to cop my first timepiece but I don't know **** about watches. Not looking for anything too crazy just want a nice minimalistic watch with preferably a steel band. Price range is 200-500. Would prefer something more toward the 2 but Im willing to stretch the budget if something is worth it.

Was looking at this Burberry watch its about 370 on sale right now but like I said i don't know **** about watches for all i know it could be trash

Steer me in the right direction fam.

Ended up copping this Tissot from Macy's today. It was originally 500 but got a friends and family 25% discount and then another 20% for opening up a Macy's card. Ended up at 300 not bad at all. What y'all think.

Was torn between that and this Seiko.

Tissot is a much better choice. I didn't even know Seikos had watches at that price.

Recycled pic of one of my personal faves. Love the "earth tone" of it. Face is a bit big but still wears well.

I like it a lot, I'm considering a Hamilton for my next watch.

+ RFX45, I copped my Rodina from there!

 

[elzarka9]

^ did you get yours from good-stuffs? And is that the original strap? Looks great. I really want one but I keep telling myself to holdout and get a Nomos when I can afford it.

 

[based mod]

I didn't even know Seikos had watches at that price.

I mean, Grand Seikos go upwards of $10k

Oh wow, did not know that.

Still wouldn't buy one at that price either

Thanks! From good stuffs and yes, the original strap! Was debating a steel mesh band because it would look like this

I told myself Im not spending over $1k on a watch until I can afford a Rolex.

But if I was going to spend something in that range I would try to get an Omega personally.
