Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

The battery on my timex died and it would cost more to replace the battery than what I paid for the watch, so naturally this thread caught my eye to see what’s out there.

I have a Casio Databank watch on the way (gotta represent my geekyness! also surprised they still make them, i remember wanting one as a kid and they were expensive back then) Amazon.com
After reading this thread, I was natually led to watchuseek where I noticed people recommending Seiko 5 series watches as the best value for what you get. I then saw this and now I’m in love My beautiful new Seiko.... The Seiko 5 SNKE51K1....!!! | WatchUSeek Watch Forums. Still deciding between this or the SNK793, and possibly the SNK807 although that is more of a casual watch and I’m a sucker for blue dials. Also like the relative simplicity of these models, I don’t need extraneous dials and features that would go underutilized with me (this coming from a guy who just bought a calculator watch!)

Just caught this thread…nice watches. I’ll take some pics of mine and put them on. I don’t have nothing too fancy, but I look out for watches at junk shops, do minor repairs/battery replacements and will start to sell them on ebay.

Anybody else sell watches?

Krono, that’s already impressive! I bet you use Li batts in them even knowing that we can’t bring into the ground with us. :slight_smile:

Btw : I’ve used a G-Shock since they 1st appeared! And for GORD’s sake, you’re only a handful of posts away!

That’s not me lol but I edc a suunto vector. If it’s good enough for MacGyver it’s good enough for me.

Seriously though I use the barometer and compass a lot and I can wear it on the outside of my jacket while hunting and the temperature will be accurate.

Ha…I know. Pacing myself…

I picked this one up on Amazon about a year ago for $60. It's built like a brick shit house and keeps close to perfect time.

A couple of Casio G-Shock watches.


Women’s silver pocket watch w/seconds subdial. Engraved and dated 1871. Make: Unknown.


Citizen Titanium Blue Angels Eco-Drive (needs battery…don’t know if it works).


Very cool ladies Bulova wind-up.


Nice Seiko Sport 150 Alarm Chrono.


Ladies Seiko.


Inside clamshell of Bitunia ladies watch.


Outside of funky Bitunia ladies watch.


And a fake ladies Tag.

Any clue as to which watch forums are best for noobs like me? I joined watchuseek and so far they seem very friendly and helpful.

What about selling watches…ebay or somewhere else?

Nerd Fixed that for ya LOL

I love Sg-1 just thought MacGyver would be more universal. Awesome watch though.

I'm a huge fan of SG-1 as well as Stargate Atlantis. Staregate Universe was good, but not nearly as good as the other two :)

Sorry to be off topic, but I canceled my Netflix account because they dropped SG-1 and Atlantis...

dont have pics of them on but here are my few

Bulova 96g42

Armitron 20/1897ti

Invicta Pro Diver 11555

the invicta was a gift from my step father. he is big into the big invictas. this one at 46mm is pushing how big a watch i would wear.
the armitron is a little small at 36mm. but its my work watch so its all beat up, and dont get in the way
the bulova is about right sized, but not a fan of rubber straps. that one was a gift from my uncle

ive also got small wrists, ive got to take usually 4 links out of the bands to fit me

How big is your wrist? I just measured mine at 7.75 inches.

I don´t know about that but I´ve got very significant help on that old Sea-Gull ST5 from WUS.
I like the place…

I think ebay for sales is OK, many also sell via forums.
Check elitedealseeker for overview for forum sales.

im really not sure, i dont have a soft tape to measure. i wrapped a wire around my wrist and then measured, and it came to about 8.25”

mgscheue: What’s your opinion about the Orange Monster? Is it worth the extra $ compared to the Amphibia?

My choice this morning:

That is not small, mine is 6.25" :D

Wow, I thought mine were small!

I used scotch tape. I made sure it wasn't compressing my skin. Took it off and used a ruler... So mine is about a half an inch smaller than yours
