My watch addiction......lots of pics!
« on: January 23, 2010, 08:21:53 PM »
Since Christmas I have been on a bit of a watch kick. Over the past month I have bought several pieces that have caught my eye and were had at a bargain, figured I'd post some eyecandy..........

Invicta 6331 Pro Diver GMT:




Alpha "The GMT" White/Pepsi:




Orient LUG15003W Quartz Diver:




Invicta 5654 Chronograph:




These two below have arrived most recently........

Invicta 6415 Chronograph:




Swiss Legend Neptune:




 
This has become a very addictive hobby, much as my knife collecting had. Not good for my bank account!  :-\

Sounds like you have it bad.

I have been toying with possibly buying a Suunto ABC watch. I don't need one, but I keep looking at them for some unknown reason.

This came about after finding my High School Casio that I had thought was thrown out ages ago. Brought it to a local jeweler to get the battery replaced. She got a big kick with its start date of 1985. She informed me that I was lucky that it could reach 2010, as another person's watch of the same era couldn’t handle anything past 2000. That and the batteries hadn't leaked...a small miracle in itself.

Very nice watches.

Burning with jealousy here. XD

Some nice and colorful watches you have there. :tu:

Love that red face... and the yellow face! And the pepsi dial! Argh!

I don't wear watches myself, but I can certainly understand the Invicta 6331 Pro Diver GMT...  :drool:

Chako,

Yeah.....it's bad. Aside from that Cold Steel I picked up the other week I haven't added any new knives (particularly slipjoints) to my collection in quite a while.....thanks to this new watch addiction!

I'm kicking myself now as I never kept any of my watches from back in my school days. I don't even have my old Timex from my time in the military. Wish I had kept them. It's cool you still have yours and it's still going.

Frog,

All of these were had at bargain prices, if you like any of them they all can be had fairly inexpensively aside from the Neptune.......I got real lucky on that one.

If you like the Alpha GMT with Pepsi bezel go here: http://alphawatchusa.com/_product_88/The_GMT_-_White-Pepsi .......use the coupon code "alphasanta". This will give you an additional 12% of it's $64.99 price tag. But this coupon code is only good until the end of January.

I don't wear watches myself, but I can certainly understand the Invicta 6331 Pro Diver GMT...  :drool:


AHB,

I have it's Green brother as well..........



......excellent watches for the money.

Argh... I'll have to think about this...
I'm tempted but as a student I really don't have money to spend...

I'm doing that very thing over about 10 other watches as I type this. So many toys, so little money!  :'(

I need to win the lottery!  :-\

It's an easy addiction to acquire!

These ones are great value though, you're quite right. I'm surprised you haven't got all over the Seikos yet
 :pok:

They are my weakness :)

My Orient LUG15003W Quartz Diver uses a Seiko quartz movement.....does that count?  :D

Seriously though, I have had my eye on a Seiko Orange Monster for a while. But it seems that every time I come across them at reduced pricing I don't have the money for one! Just the other day WorldofWatches.com had them for $139.00, but I had already commited myself to that Invicta 6415 and the SL Neptune.  :'(

I may have to do some photography on my own little collection. If I do so, I will post them in here later.

Ok, just finished taking some quick picks of a few watches. Quick in I didn’t plan much, otherwise, I would have eliminated my ceiling fan in the first photo with proper placement etc.

A Bulova Automatic.


Citizen Blue Angels Skyhawk.


A Titanium Pulsar.
