X3 and X4 Drivers and their watches~ What's on your wrist?
I like watches. I inherited some from my dad and added a few more over time. Some are cheap, some are expensive, some are mechanical or quartz. But all are accurate twice a day.
Let see yours. Last edited by Lady Jane; 10-01-2023 at 04:10 PM.. |

Tried to use Huawei Smart Watch GT2 last year, but ähh... Wrist watch just not feel comfortable in my hand

I have one watch that my brother bought for me as a best man present. It’s a Raymond Weil RW Sport. Someday I’ll pull the trigger and buy my favorite. Rolex GMT-Master II. But for now, I do like mine.

Unfortunately- too many to list. I just haven't gone down the road of REALLY nice watches for several reasons…. Mainly because my taste changes every 5-10 years.
Apple Watch for work Several G Shocks (tough solars)… great for weekends, outside work, vacations, etc. Few Citizens (Eco-Drive) easy to maintain LIV Automatic Casio Edifice Black (Ltd Edition) Newest addition… Longines VHP Conquest …I like watches… always have, always will…always have one on except when sleeping. |

Today, this one. I have a problem with watches and admit it! Would have to go actually count but I probably have almost 30 watches, all but three mechanical and mostly dive watches. I do have two Omegas and two Breitlings. The rest are smaller micro-brands.

I have quite a few watches and absolutely LOVE them!
I've bought, sold and traded a bunch of watches over the years from Rolex, Panerai and Omega, but mostly Rolex. I've actually earned about $25K in doing so. Right now, my watches are over the moon in value and I could make over $500K profit (I didn't add a zero by accident LOL and one watch is the bulk of that value). My current lineup: 2018 Rolex Ceramic Daytona - 116500 (black dial, bought new) - worth about $45K now 2016 Rolex Ceramic Submariner - 116610LV (Hulk) - worth about $22K now 1973 Rolex GMT Pepsi - 1675 (traded a BLNR for it) - worth about $19K now 1971 Rolex Paul Newman Daytona - 6263 (was my grandfathers watch) - worth about ???,??? now Panerai Ceramic Submersible Carbotech - PAM00960 - worth around $12K now Hamilton Khaki Navy - nice all around lower priced watch |

Nice watch, you lucky dog! Your grandfather was a man ahead of his time.

Interesting thread OP.
Recently got into watches. My 7 year old daughter is already saying " why do you need anymore"! Nothing too fancy. I enjoy wearing them. Sample attached…. |

Just recently got the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar. Decent 10 battery life and a rack of smart features.

It didn't hurt that Rolex couldn't really sell these watches when they were new. He ended up getting a deal on the watch at the time since it was just sitting at the dealer for a while. I think he said around $300. I was literally the only person in our family that even remotely liked watches and I would talk to him often about them. I don't ever remember him wearing it, but he showed it to me often and it was just kept in the safe. I was shocked when he willed it to me. The ironic thing is, no one in the family even knows how much it's really worth. They just think it's a Rolex so it's expensive, they just don't know how much. Now it's insured for about as much as my house replacement LOL! It's no leaving my wrist anytime soon either. |
