A cheap Seiko 5 in a dress watch styling with a blue dial, and a gold-plated 1968 Omega Seamaster that belonged to my grandfather.

My grail watch is an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Others that I'd like to acquire include a Seamaster Planet Ocean, a Rolex Explorer GMT, an IWC Top Gun, and an IWC Portugese (white dial with blue hands).

Damn, that DEVON watch looks incredible. But having seen the video of it on the site, I seriously can't imagine anyone paying >18k USD for a watch that makes so much noise.

Actually can't imagine anyone paying >18k USD for any watch ever, but I guess some people just have too much money lying around.

last week i bought 2 classic G-Shock DW6900CR-3 Crocodile Textures watch, limited edition, i got the green'ish croc ones.

hands down my all time favorite watch ever! the feel and overall looks is stunning, pretty glossy too, epic.

lol at the fast-food the other day, one of the clerks as i was handing over the money "hey, that's a very cool watch ye got there", me: "careful, it bites"

found a video.

Oh, yeah. I'd love a Speedmaster Professional as well. Some day...

Currently I have 4 watches. An inexpensive pocket watch my grandfather gave me, a Citizen Ecodrive, a Casio G-Shock, and a small Timex Ironman. I never leave home without a watch on my wrist. I feel naked without one.

Seems pretty cool, actually. Normally, things like that have "hurr durr, this is a videogame item" written on them, but that's pretty tasteful. My only complaint is that the strap looks new, and the case looks vintage (aged brass, and rubber).

Anyway, this is awesome (and costs as much as a house):

Awesomeness mainly at 0:51.

For this thing http://gear.ea.com/titles/dead-space...timepiece.html--

Why did they put that crown on the left, like on a lefty watch? That looks so uncomfortable. Will dig into your arm.

Looks inspired by old aviator watches, like the Bell & Ross http://www.bellross.com/us/#/collect...ation/br_03/44

My watch that arrived the couple of days ago finally.

I prefer watches that are very simple and clean, and this was an automatic one I was wanting.
