This is my current watch...wife bought it out of the blue because I was drooling over it for about 6 months. Love it. Tag - Calibre 16 gray

I am no watch aficionado, but I picked up this watch last night for $50 new at a trade show in Greenville, SC.

I've had this one for about a year now. I love it.

I have another as well. Both from the 40's. Both are 18k pink gold, but the other has a pink gold face, not black, and made by Lukey. My black face watch doesn't have the red second hand, it's gold as well. They were given to me by my grandfather. They're in great shape too considering both are pushing 70 years old.

I also have an antique Bulova that I wear as a "dress" watch.

Here is the watch I wear. It's a Hamilton Ventura. It's a Deco style. Hamilton was one of, if not the first wrist watch company. Very nice piece. I am NOT a jewlery guy, but I do like this watch.

This is the watch they wore in Men in Black. I got it way before the movie came out.

Does anyone have any experience dealing with the Richemont Technical Center in Texas? I dropped my 3 week old Panerai 312 and had to send it in for repair. I've heard to expect 6 weeks for the estimate and another 6 weeks for repair...:(

New Rolex Explorer II just hit stores this week. It is now available in 42mm. Orange 24 hour hand is a tribute to the original 1971 model made famous by Steve McQueen. Wish I had an extra $8-9k laying around right now...

Honestly, it looks like a Tag Huer watch style. There are a lot of nice and less costly Tags!

Or even used Rolexs.

Forever ago... I watched a presentation done by the #1 ad agency in Manhattan... demonstrating the value of brand advertising

It showed that the exact same elements are in every watch... and the cost of those elements are about $17 ... now some companies add things such as gold, diamonds, etc... but the key essential elements are still $17.. whether they use gold or add diamonds, they pretty much have no effect on the actual performance of the watch

So the presentation said.. the major reason a manufacturer gets anything more than $17 is all brand advertising...

Not a discussion point... just a key lesson I learned in advertising... the power and value of brand advertising...

Air Jordans anyone?

have a steel and gold Rollie that I bought back in the early 80's for $1500, which was alot back then. Now you cannot touch it for less than $7500, but just cannot see my way clear to buy a new one when this one works fine. Only piece of jewelry I wear.
