I've recently discovered an interest in fine watches.

I love fine stuff. My taste definitely surpasses my income, but I'm working on the income part. I recently bought my 135i and love driving it, by far the nicest car I've owned.

I decided I wanted to get a nice watch soRolex was the first brand I researched, always loved the Submariner, I like that style for sure.

As I researched though, I found this huge world of fine timepieces, and now I want them ALL!

Yesterday, I bought a new SS Rolex Submariner for myself, and a nice Movado womens watch with diamonds at the number positions for my girlfriend.

I think the Sub is a good first watch for my future collection, I plan to wear it daily.

Next I'm looking at getting a Panerai.

and let's be honest, I bet you've come across people who think even 3-400 is too much for a watch

I just picked up this Victornox Dive Master 500 and I love it! It is everyday functional and still very classy IMO. I hope to add the new Rolex Explorer II to my collection in the spring.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer... I love the simplicity and classic look and lines.



Don't think I'd blow more than 2K on a watch.

Omegas / Tags are my favorite.

It's that exact one; it is a quartz but in reality what difference does it make plus the quartz ones are more accurate not that a second or two makes a difference. I sometimes don't wear it for long periods of time so an automatic wasn't the best option either.

Oh Man! I'm drooling.

To date, I thought I was pretty good at pissing money away on needless things, but I'm in big trouble now that I've found an interest in watches.

I'm stoked though, sporting my new daily wearer Rolex Submariner, which I was told is a good 1st watch for a collector. I've always lusted after the Sub, but now, well, like I said, I'm in trouble. I'll eat Top Ramen for a LONG time to save for my next watch.

I'm getting a Panerai for myself for my B-day in 4 months.

Robin Hood, I might take you up on your Panerai in a bit!

It's been a long time since I wore a watch. I'm finding that doorknobs and other things are very easy to hit with my new Sub. I've already put a very minute scratch on the crystal.

I just ordered some watch lens protectors, clear stick-on vinyl protector.

Anyone else use these?
