Good grief, Andreas.

I have been on a "diving" style watch fetish recently and crossed over the Ploprof.

Seeing it on your wrist, I am concerned that it would send you straight to the bottom!

My only news: just took delivery of a Constellation for wifey.

I was lucky enough to find one of these in perfect condition, at an antique store in South Beach, Miami, some years ago. A strange coincidence - a few hours before a friend and I had talked about wanting to own one, and he'd told me how hard they were to find. Then we walked into the store, and while he was looking at something else I noticed ... could it be ... well, what do you know?

So I bought it without him noticing, swapped watches on my wrist and can still remember his face when we reunited with our girlfriends and he suddenly saw my new watch.

"How?"

"While you were looking at the paintings."

@soundproof : Allso a realy nice watch... i could settle for that

i just love the Daytona

Constellations are nice!

Nice find Soundproof!!!

Man, those are pretty expensive nowadays! Did you get it before the craze?

The funny thing is that I never particularly cared for them. It is what she liked, so that is what she got! I must admit that it is a very nice watch now that I had some time to play with it. I am really impressed with it, at least moreso than I expected.

I assume you will leave behind a flawless wrist.

Daytona: Classic, great looking watch -and a very funny story, soundproof!

Atleast the watch will be sharkproof.

Well, they did have to pull my card twice, as the limit was under the price.

It was just too good a joke to pass up, I can still remember his face when he saw the watch on my wrist.

Lots of nice watches in this thread.

Soundproof, fantastic watch!  I'm jealous.

This is my pride and joy, the Tissot T-Tracx. It was my high school graduation gift.

Here is my Invicta S1 (Model 5181). Very comfortable band, stays put on my wrist. Im wearing this one to a dance tomorrow night!!

I think the mint green color accents look incredible against the black face.

Oh and before I forget, Mom's Chrsitmas gift ordered today! I think its called the Invicta Wildflower.

Just got myself a Panerai Radiomir Black Seal Ceramic.

Knockout! Congrats!

Sharp lookin!

The Casio AQ310G for me, my father received it for his 20-year birthday in 1981! Still going strong

I really, really like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust 36mm with the Oyster bracelet and black or blue dial. I can't really decide if I like the domed steel bezel or the fluted white gold one best. I think it looks just like a Rolex should.

Who knows what will happen. I'm turning 40 in a few days.

Wondeful watch! I had the same w/ Jubilee/black/fluted. Great for sport and/or dress. A real classic, though like you -I suppose I would prefer the Oyster bracelet. My brother still has it!

Completely happy with my Baume & Mercier Riviera, but I confess to loving this !

When I was not able to choose between the black and the blue dial - I was choosed the two tone version

(The picture was taken from Chrono24 - it's not mine)

Panerai 244, but only once i have my Beovision 7-40 with a pair of Beolab 5's looking at me. In the meantime i have MWC G10 with Tritium illumination. Simple, reliable and the Tritium gives amazing clarity at night.
