[RGVFAST]

explorer II is one of my fav rolex's

classic design

watch in a cupboard is as useful as a Car with no engine, put the thing on and wear it. Can get them insured cheap.

no one going to steal it if you tell them its fake form bali

[ultim8m]

I've got a Tissot T Touch. full touch screen it's awesome was an 18th bday present

i wear it out when im going somewhere flash, dinner etc.

just use the p00 watch when going clubbing etc.

cant exactly tell someone ya watch is from bali when they're an australian treasure, never been out of the country and dont know what bali is.

[Pav]

i used to be a watch fan until midway highschool when mobile phones came into play. Any watches i've worn since were not in sync with the actual time (too slack to set or change battery), just purely worn as a fashion accessory.

[rxsevengt]

Mrs. Bought me a Tag F1 for our anniversary. Was stoked

[DRKWRX]

got me a Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, was going to get a Tag Carrera but heard the Omegas are better and hold there value better too a class above, Wear it prety much everywhere exept work haha, would love more watches but too expensive haha would love a Panerai.

[RGVFAST]

But with reality tapping one on the shoulder.. if anyone is in bali.thailand etc and finds a really good fake.. let me know :)

[devilfish]

ive still got my issue tracer...

http://www.telford-services.com/traser_images/traser_p6508.jpg

but dont wear it on holiday... ;)

[RGVFAST]

i dunno what it is but i dislike tag heuers, they make a decent watch just dont do anything for me. also think they dont deserve the price they ask, they are not on the same level as omegas that can be bought for similar money

[kneedtotinkle]

monaco is one of the most historic watches of the modern world... Steve McQueen - le Mans. GAME OVER! maybe not the most expensive watch but the one with a pretty great history behind it.

[TJ]

I no give fark for brand - I just love the look of the Monaco

[MMM]

what sort of coin are we looking at for a decent watch? 1000's or 100's?

[iluv2moan]

that monaco looks like a girls watch to me

[RGVFAST]

at 50 buck timex or casio is more accurate then any rolex or patek on the market, even models that cost 100k

depends what you define a decent watch, if its time telling ablities any quartz watch will do.

i would think not junk swiss made mechanical watch pricing begins around 1k going all the way through to 300k+

ahh ok cheers. So the pictures posted on those watches were talking 10k+ ?

[CyberNetiC]

my rado in duty free (legit one) came in at $3300.

all wank to me anyway, i got something that looks the same and does the same job for $6.

it literally looks the same.

[RGVFAST]

none of the watches pic posted so far would be 10k,

the rolex daytona someone mentioned starts at 10k, the rolex president is substantially more

[TJ]

ahh ok cheers. So the pictures posted on those watches were talking 10k+ ?

Monaco is worth 4k retail

[kneedtotinkle]

monaco used to be $8k for an original old batch. Original 2000's model are $6k down to $4400 at the moment.

[R3N]

you do know that zenith provides movements to tag right?

[RGVFAST]

i didnt know that, but just had a read and i think its limited to one model.

majority of tags are quartz

[mc68]

seiko sportura chronograph. (mine has a tachymetre though) Wanted something to remind me of my trip to london last year.

http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/content/full/4156.jpg

its dope :)

also have a few very very 70/80's rolex's my old left me. need to dig them out.

[R3N]

i didnt know that, but just had a read and i think its limited to one model.

majority of tags are quartz

zenith and tag are part of the LVMH group and since tag don't do their own inhouse movements, zenity supplies some movements to tag. it used to be mostly ETA movements, but now are moving away from their reliance of ETA.

wouldn't say the majority of them are quartz... the f1 series are quartz, aquaracers are both quartz and mechanical and the rest i believe are mechanical

[Anaru]

Fossil 'Big Tic'

the only watch where people will come up to me and say WTF!

[YOUR MATE]

Mines nothing pricey but I think it looks mint and gets bulk comments. Cant read it for shit when boozy and it doesnt light up.. Does me fine day to day.

errr... no. swatch ETA Valjoux, same same. ETA produces movements that are used by heaps of brands, tag, omega, panerai, iwc etc

hmmm thats probably true cant say ive tried to test the ruggedness of it i think its more just to say its the only touch screen watch available :P

[CyberNetiC]

mate back in school had a watch that did the calculator jobbie etc.

although it also had an IR sender in it.

hilarity ensued when watching a video in class, he'd program in the make of the TV and turn it up, down, off, on, stop, rewind.

epic fucking laughs.

not doubting people but those claiming to own 5k + watches should be taking pics of their own watch not a one found on net.

great watch and the sapphire chrystal face is tip top, not 1 scratch on it in 4 years! goes through a battery every 2 years, not sure if thats alot or not..

cost $500 back in 04

its kinda like having a members ride thread saying i got a fd rx7 looks similar to this http://damox.com/cars/wallpaper/Mazda/Mazda_RX7.jpg

slip thats an awsome watch , how much did that cost you?

[TJ]

Fuck Chris your a whiney bitch.

I reckon you could win lotto and still find something negative to make of it.

[RGVFAST]

few models of rolex that there are endless options of bracelet style, dial colour ,diamonds or other jewels ,bezels, case materials.

then any aftermarket changes.

the look of one model watch can change drastically just the same way u can make 2 skylines look very different

[DRKWRX]

I took photo of mine lol.

[xr06t]

fair enough

managed to find an exact pic of mine on the net anyways.

didn't know there was aftermarket mods for watches haha.

[RGVFAST]

haha id say its like any hobby
always going to be people messing with it to make it better

[[FFOUR]]

Watches give me tan lines, no can do.

[Ryan1080]

What is the purpose of modding a watch? What do you do? How to you make it 'better'? Do you make the time run faster on it or something, and race other watches?? I don't understand...

customising??

[RGVFAST]

making it unique?

same reason poeple put on body kits, wheels different, paint their cars

[DRKWRX]

to make it look different, do you walk around in the same colour shirt everyday?

[Ryan1080]

There's so many different types of watches out there, unlike cars, the chances of you meeting someone with the exact same watch are slim imo.

As for making it look different, just have a few different watches for different occasions.

[F u r i o u s]

Ive got a Breitling "Bentley GT Racing" series watch, this is my best watch and i love it.

[AndrZeJ]

I no give fark for brand - I just love the look of the Monaco

dieseld hard

[Docile]

I found a brand new one of these on a bus. Did the right thing and handed it into the cops.. Few weeks later cops rock up to mine at 7am and hand it back with a valuation of just over 1K. Dived with it, hammered it, dropped from a 2nd story balcony onto bricks and it still looks brand new so cant complain :)

went to take a pic of my tissot and can't find it since the move :( where do tissot stack up with the stuff being posted here?

tissot are pretty well respected, more their automatics then any of their quartz watches with LCD screens

[kneedtotinkle]

modifying and changing the dials, bands etc on Rolex make them cheaper. A registered rolex dealer will NOT service the watch if it is NOT 100% GENUINE!

Rosendorff is the only Rolex servicing agent in WA.

[Ryan1080]

makes it hard when the watches some people are talking about are into the 10s of thousands

If you can afford to wear one watch that costs 10s of thousands, you can afford many watches that are into 10s of thousands...
...that of course excludes poor people with fark all but the watch itself lol! (which is highly unlikely anyway)

[RGVFAST]

modifying and changing the dials, bands etc on Rolex make them cheaper. A registered rolex dealer will NOT service the watch if it is NOT 100% GENUINE!

Rosendorff is the only Rolex servicing agent in WA.

there are still a 1000 different combinations of options your can have of a datejust or daydate, still keeping everything genuine.


id hazard a guess a lot of people that have 30+k watches might have had them gifted to them( heirlooms and such), and dont actually have the coin to buy more ate the same value

[kneedtotinkle]

i know of a few people who have watches in the 10's of thousands who purchase and are not given...

This bad boy set me back $7,700 AUS, and this was about 5months ago

[Ryan1080]

Nice one!

You obviously don't wear it every day yeah? I'd feel bad wearing an expensive one every day, as there's 110% chance I will scratch it.

Here's my $500 Guess watch shitter, which I bought back in '03. Plenty of scratches everywhere now, although I think it looked pretty good brand new, until I accidently scraped a wall with it. Left a tiny mark on the bezel, but the glass was spotless. Few more mishaps and bang, scratches all over the place. It's been good though, I scuba dive with it too, no problems.

expensive watches dont scratch.

what was that watch a little while back, the ad showed them running a truck over it?

[Ryan1080]

Huh? So you can scrape an expensive watch a few times on a lumpy wall and it won't leave a mark? I find that hard to believe hey. The glass on my watch is still perfect though.

You can run a truck safely over any watch I think, the fact they are pressure resistant to 200 meters, and the rubber is softer than say a brick wall, helps also. I've ran a car over an old Casio watch once, didn't do a thing to it.

[iluv2moan]

stick a watch face down on a bitumen road and drive a truck over it - if theres no marks in glass i too would be very suprised

[wadragracing]

Maybe expensive watches don't scratch cause people are more careful of them haha
Me and watches = fail. Wrists too skinny so they always look huge.

[RGVFAST]

scratches just add character.

is like a little time capsule on your arm if you have had a watch for a while, you remeber where you were and what you were doing when u got a particular dent or scratch.

[TJ]

Care of someone awesome :P

Who ?

[thommo]

wheres some watches people hav that suit baby wrists

[RGVFAST]

look for watches under 40mm case diametre thommo.

only problem is in last 10 years or so, massive watches have been in fashion, so most big brand swing that way in design

your taking it way too far there.

i havent scratched any watches of any of the cheap shit that ive owned on a fucking wall.

light scuffs and scratches are to be expected when wearing a watch, its just life, however, the more expensive watches tend to not get scratched easily.

if you rubbed it against a wall of course its gonna get fucked up, but day to day shit, hitting it against a table/metal etc, more likely to glance off than leave a mark.

Ah, in that case same thing goes for my cheap $500 watch then. Hitting it on a table or something won't do shit to it. In terms of that, there's no difference if the watch costs half a grand, or tens of thousands... If it's a 50 dollar plastic watch, you're probably right.

Only reason I mentioned a wall for example is that it may happen accidentally if you are walking along a narrow corridor and have short sleeves, and you brush up on the wall to let someone through etc. and aren't careful about your watch, for example.

[kneedtotinkle]

Anyways.... an expensive watch generally doesnt scratch due to it having a sapphire crystal glass. The original Monaco's come with plexiglass so they do scratch, if it gets scratched its a matter of a watch maker - watches of switzerland for buffing the crap out of it...

[mitchy]

http://www.michaelhill.com.au/www/nz_open/images/watches2/m/MENS-30.jpg

$195, does the job!

[esky]

i've had the crystal replaced on my Seamaster, i bumped it climbing the scaffold staircase on site, took a chunk about 5mm across off it.

also got a stainless navitimer, a omega constellation and a two tone submariner, black face.

Rolex GMT Master II

2 Tone, 4 Hands ... Copper face dial and bezzel (now discontinued) quite rare

[RGVFAST]

GMT master II is one of my favorite watchs

solid goild with green dial would be my grail, execpt id have to wait till im like 60 to be able to wear it with looking like a punce. Soild gold watches on non old farts dont work.

My rig. Good value for my money in my opinion, quartz face, wear it everyday and still looks new. Only real major scratch it's picked up was from one of western australian police forces finest removing it from my pocket and subsequently chucking it onto the bitumen. Thanks fuckwit.

Caught up with some mates @ left bank yesterday

Mate just got this - DO WANT

http://www.aboutwatchbands.com/images/breitling1.jpg

[RGVFAST]

wouldnt have any where to wear it(not that i could ever afford it)
but i could watch the movement all day

http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/reverso-gyrotourbillon-2/en/

[thommo]

thats pretty coool, wat is the price tag?

[RGVFAST]

probably 300k+

http://www.vialuxe.com/Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Gyrotourbillon-2-Watch-Ref-233-64-20/Watch/136263
price in $USD

[Ryan1080]

probably 300k+

http://www.vialuxe.com/Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Gyrotourbillon-2-Watch-Ref-233-64-20/Watch/136263
price in $USD

What the hell is in this watch that makes them ask a price like that??? They must make like a $USD 249,500 profit on that watch out of any suckers paying that price. What the fuck? Someone care to explain? Is it like one of those credit card things which charge you 20K per year membership fee just to make you feel exclusive; or what?

[RGVFAST]

nothing makes the watch worth that much, but some one will pay it

the platinum and gold and materials are probably worth sub 20k
designing the movement would have been very expensive.

watches like these are no longer about telling the time, is more like art.

what make mona lisa priceless ? is only some paint and ink on canvass

material value probably under 200 bucks

[R3N]

most if not all watches that have a tourbillon will command a very high price

[DRKWRX]

held this watch in the store fucken porn watch! about 70k worth.

So did they only make one watch like that?? Or do they make many of the same watches? If there's many, you can't exactly compare them to art, given that there is only ONE mona lisa painting and quite a few of the same watches out there coming out of an assembly line, hand-built or not... if there is only ONE, yeah ok, I can see some rare-spec value in it...

What is so special about the movement? Would you really care if you watch is more accurate to the 0.0000001 second than a 100 dollar shitter? Unless you use it to measure some science experiments to the nanosecond or something... which you wouldn't, what's the point?

Sorry, I still can't see the justification for the huge price, other than the wank factor of telling mates you paid 300K for a watch lol...

[DRKWRX]

there is no justification, its still the design and they cost that much because people out there can afford to buy them no other reason really.

[Brockas]

was looking on another car forum and was suprised to find they had a thread about watches, i was also astounded at how many car enthusiasts are also watch aficionado's

I was just reading the latest wheels mag.

2 ads for car audio
3 ads for workshops
3 ads for detailing products
4 ads for watches


Obviously they know their demographic. I guess it's pretty normal for people (males) who love cars, to also love watches.

[RGVFAST]

Sorry, I still can't see the justification for the huge price, other than the wank factor of telling mates you paid 300K for a watch lol...

that watch is less accurate then a 50 dollar quartz casio , a fair bit less accurate too.

but like you said, its paying for wank factor.

there are limited number of them made though, under 50 i think.

[evil1]

i want one of those carbon fibre watches

Hehe, cool. What's funny is that you wouldn't tell it's a 300K watch just by looking at it. You would have to tell everyone. Fark it, spend 300K on a car, people will know it cost 300K. This watch is a wank factor fail imo unless you carry a big price tag attached to it all the time...

[MMM]

my bet is whoever buys one does have a 300k+ car

[DRKWRX]

me to, some of these watches are awesome and im guessing the more expensive ones seem to hold there value as well. Which is making me more inclined to buy one.

[RGVFAST]

there is currently a rolex Explorer II on ebay for around $4k

assuming its genuine and good condition, i doubt that would ever decrease in value in the next 20+ years.

id never consider buying a watch an investment, but its nice to know with some brands you can often get back very close to watch you paid retail (rolex being one of them on stainless models) and often making money if you purchased the watch 2nd hand.

interesting thread..
a little off topic.. you guys are gonna be like my dad when you go old retarded and a little batty

he has over 1100 clocks, stuff from all over the world, clocks are the only mechanical device 300 years ++ that work perfectly. Russian clocks/ watches work in reverse to normal and the face is backwards. hes got french german russian ukranian. Quite an art in it all and can pull the fuckers apart put them back together. some are worth 10's of thousands of dollars


the whole house is constantly going bonkers and not one is the correct time.

When he passes on we will turn his house into a clock museum as it would be too much of an effort to sell them all. His explanation of the clock phenomenomon is that he was a good trains driver, and lived his life by the clock.

I wear a Raymond Weil Freelancer automatic most days, and an 8yr old gold seiko quartz for dirty work/gym/gardening/going out drinking with etc ..

loved the Tags and almost bought an auto chrono aquaracer with day/date but it was just too thick - like seemed like a mini grain silo sticking out my wrist hahah..
looked at the carreras/links etc but none of them had wide enough bracelets - they all looked a little skinny on my wrists..

so yeh in the end went with the freelancer and still love it.. its quite simple but still classy and just the right amount of chunkatron to it..

Sif you'd dip a $2M watch into water. Sif you'd even wear it anywhere with mildly harsh elements. You'd probably have it covered with all sorts of protective cushions and what not... and have your hand enclosed in a locked safe if you're passing through Mirabooka... lol!

Fark me, what on earth costs $2M bucks in this watch?? A bit of platinum? Other than perhaps expensive materials it's made of (of which value doesn't amount to anywhere near that much) what's different between this watch, and a $10K watch? Internals are probably the same lol! Does it come with prepaid 24 hour security for the next two decades? I totally understand $10K watches... $2M watches on the other hand sound like a perfect item for a rich sucker...

[nang3]

ROFL yeh i agree!! but then again if your loaded, throwin away $2m on a watch prolly seems the right thing to do to show everyone just how rich you are haha.. exclusivity is what the very rich like!!

[SLY346]

What do some of you watch gurus think about buying a circa 60's-70's omega seamaster as an investment? provided that watch is in perfect condition - would something like that increase in value or would it be not negligible? What would you expect to pay for a watch like that? thanks in advance.

[RGVFAST]

i dont think you would lose money on it but making money is doubtful unless its very rare,it might also be difficult to move if you needed the money in a hurry, and thats what investments are all about is to make cash and to be abel to access it when you need.

id never buy a watch as an investment since there are far better proven investing options (term deposits/shares/property)

if you like the watch buy it, wear it and if it gose up in value over the course of owning it consider it a bonus

[SLY346]

http://lh3.ggpht.com/shaileshdoke/SBJDbIN0pVI/AAAAAAAAAgw/0mv4FIWBYSo/f1_carbon_watch%5B7%5D.jpg

The F1/Carbon GMT watch is constructed of carbon fibre, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal. The designer of this watch John Pszeniczny want to give a turbo boost to the time.

This watch is inspired by the world of F1 race cars. Embedded with 18 identical rubies, this watch tell the time in everyone of the 18 cities on the 2008 F1 circuit. It has a built in stopwatch and laptimer too.

Nothing will be solid gold for that price. At best it'll be gold plate, at worst it'll be just gold coloured.

Get a nice mechanical stainless steel watch. For that price range id look at a Swiss brand called Oris. They have nice models at decent prices.

I got these replicas out of Singapore last year - they are surplus to my requirements......

Ill just stick with my Citizen Ecodrive Blue Angels Navi Hawk. Cost me a mint but still have it 6 years later in mint condition.

Thinking of finding something similar in the new range with titanium body and strap.

I had a look at them about a month ago at Mazzuchellis Karrinyup.. From memory was ~$1,100? I'll find the quotation card that I got.

On the topic of watches & other valuable items, how are people insuring them?

On the topic of watches & other valuable items, how are people insuring them?was at karrinyup and both mazzuchellis and coote or whatever they are called next mazzuchellis were both wanting $1300...i didnt try to push for a best price as i am not ready yet to buy it (couple weeks away)

the david jones sale meant i could get it for $910 :(

all my stuff is insured under contents insurance through my broker. all as a top policy with accidental cover, etc
i can lose my stuff, forget them, have them stolen even accidentally break them and all is covered anywhere in aus
$100 excess

[XsQuiZiT]

oh fair enough... that sounds about right then, they can normally knock quite a bit off on the spot.

Stupid question but do people know of any companies that cover personal belongings without having to take out their home contents insurance?

uboat price? pm if you wish. tj fuck off. :)

I thought you couldnt wear a watch as there was always a third hand holding onto your wrist?
