Anyone into watches?

Use to be an avid watch guy, but then priorities changed, now I'm rocking the newest Apple watch. LOL

Some of the watches I've owned in the past included:
Rolex, No date Submariner
Rolex, DateJust II
Omega, Seamaster w/ Co Axial Escapement
Omega, Speedmaster Pro, aka sapphire sandwhich
Panerai 111
Panerai 312

 

Is a 1966 Air-King worth $2k? Looks like the new 40mm is around $7k.

 

I switched from my 36 to the 34. Fifty years old still running great!

 

Candy.Tulip Poplar tree.

 

I’m investigating these weird stick piles. I didn’t do it. Like they have been “nibbled” off the limb.Aliens?

 

Wearing the 31. It’s a men’s. A lot lighter. If I just rotate through the three I won’t want another.

 

I bought a 1950’s 32mm bubble back with luminous done! For fly fishing.

 

I got it for the price of a dinner and a movie. And gas and the grocery store.
Here is another for reference. Without luminous. The case is a 6015 and the back is a 2940.

 

This is it. Sneak peak.

 

Here it is with a bracelet. I’m prob getting a snake skin band.

 

Here’s one more. I’m so excited. I’m going to use my Rolex clasp from my broken one, with a leather band.

 

I got it for $700.

 

I’m
Importing this band from Germany. Then using my genuine Rolex clasp from my other watch. It has a band I just like the idea of keeping it Rolex.

 

Never had a crocodile strap. Post up pics when installed.

 

This is the look I’m going for.

 

That’s how you turn a $700 watch into a $5k watch!

 

Anyone wanna buy TRD watch?

Looks like my watch just left LA California.

 

Old faithful today.

 

I rolled naked today felt very light.

 

This just popped up on my news feed

Anybody have one of these?

I saw Glock has a green 35th anniversary. I think I will wait until next year.

 

Finally, I can tell what time it is in the dark.

 

While working as a field/wildlife biologist and with a BS in Marine Biology and a long-time hunter, I regularly went through watches and pocket knives. I preferred to spend my money on firearms and sheath knives that I used regularly in my work (OM Ruger Blackhawk in 45 lc and Randall knives).

I wore Timex Expeditions (with Indiglo=really nice when working at night) and carried mid-level pocketknives (Gerber). Replaced watches about every 2 years and knives as soon as I lost one. Now that I am retired, I still misplace knives (EDC: CRKT knives) but my wife bought me a Citizen Pro-Diver watch. Don't need any bells and whistles or prestigious name. It keeps time well and looks pretty good.

 

I never noticed the hands were blued until the last pic. Check out this stem. Rolex did a bushing type seal. Just pull to set.

 

This radium is pretty neat. It kind of flickers.

 

Put my clasp on a well made $20 Rolex leather band (I think a real one is $250) My genuine Rolex Crocodile is on the way from Frankfurt.

 

Just cut the grass with it. Breaking in the new band. And getting a little sun it prob hasn’t had in years. If I slam 6 trout tomorrow with it, I got a watch!

 

I did community service in my Rolex.
