Watches and BMW

Daytona_John · 11-12-2005, 10:31 PM

Glad to see there are some watch fans here! :rocks:

Here's some photos of my watches (photos are mine).

Here's my favorite in my collection - a perfect match to my alpine white 330i which is on order:

My only gold/TT watch right now...but I have a soft spot for it, and love the Submariner:

My fiance likes this one the best:

But if I had to live with just one watch, this one would probobly be the best choice:

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

Amazing photos and watches John! What camera/lens do you use, if you don't mind me asking. And welcome to the forum!

connermd · 11-12-2005, 11:48 PM

Swiss - Raymond Weil with diamonds and a sapphire. I bought it for myself when I turned 30 and I love it.

Firstly, don't be too impressed by the photos. I do photo reviews for several watch related magazines (CHRONOS and INSYNC currently) which I'm sure you've never heard of because the watch world is small. So, I do this work professionally - they're supposed to look good.

I use a Canon 20D with the Canon 100mm USM macro.

Rolex Datejust circa 1958

Original band

It was my grandfather's watch. He passed away before I was born and the watch was passed down to my uncle and then to me as a graduation gift.

I wear it as a day to day watch. It's in excellent shape and had it tuned up recently.

Plan to pass it on to my kid!

Nice!

I've been in love with the Yacht-Master ever since I first saw it.

btc · 11-14-2005, 09:46 AM

This is my watch with matching BMW interior lighting....

The Yacht-Mast truely is a great watch - I really love mine, nd just happen to be wearing it today.

Robin_NL · 11-14-2005, 10:04 AM

Beautiful pictures

I'm a Rolex fan too(SS Submariner Date currently wearing, but I'm a watchmaker so

)

Still my Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control ss is a good choice for the holidays.

Rolex Sub. + 0.5/1sec in 24 hours

JLC Master Control +1sec
in both adjusted with Witschi testing device

So my Sub is just a bit 'better' :rocks:

ga-bmwdrvr · 11-14-2005, 08:50 PM

Tissot PR-100 Fly-Back

Daytona_John · 11-15-2005, 08:19 AM

If I didn't love the 4 Rolex models I owned so much, I'd add a JLC - I've reviewed several of their models and have great respect for Jaeger as a brand.

I'm also a big Omega fan...I've had nearly all the Seamaster models at one time or another, but am down to just this classic Bond Seamaster right now. Unfortunately, it rarely steels any wirst time from my Rolexes...

Omega Speedmaster Automatic

NaTuReB0Y · 11-24-2005, 07:50 PM

Not a big fan of watches.....what can I get for about $500?

LEDZEP · 11-24-2005, 08:04 PM

They're no Timex, but they're OK.

leosong11 · 11-25-2005, 12:56 AM

Nice thread. I'm at that stage where watches are becoming more and more interesting. My small collection: Tag Formula 1 (which I bought specifically to match my car), Seiko, Patek (fake one my friend gave to me lol

), Versace. Next watch is going to be Omega Speedmaster (debating wether to get the manual or auto- any suggestions would be appreciated.)
Bought a winder for the Versace yesterday.Winders are pretty cool.

ThreeBimm · 11-28-2005, 08:30 AM

I've got a Rolex oyster perpetual datejust. I've never seen anyone else with my exact watch on. I love it.

I also have an Ebel sportwave that I hardly ever wear now that I have the Rolex.
