Didn't see many women in here.. but I may have accidentally overlooked them, since there's so many pages in this thread. I'll add a little femininity to it:
New 1:Face watch for Hunger

Nixon 42-20 Tide

Michael Kors Golden Oversized Runway Watch

Michael Kors White Chronograph (haven't received it yet.. just ordered it Saturday)

I've been trying to find another all black watch that is a little nicer than the Nixon and has a bit more of a matte black finish than the glossy.
Also thinking about getting this Marc Jacobs watch, but not sure, because I don't like the "BY MARC JACOBS" around the dial:

Agreed, the bezel seems a little big too. Colours are nice though.
I got my Seiko 007 today. The rubber strap that came with it was awful so I just threw this random zulu on there. I'll be getting a new one (the correct width) soon.

My Diesels, love how big they are!
Was having fun with my camera for this shot. Watch is actually gunmetal silver/grey with a dark brown leather band.

Got my bond zulu in the mail. I think a black with red stitching sail cloth strap is next on the list.

To the guys here, would you wear this watch? It's listed as a mens's only watch in some places, others have it listed as a women's watch. And others have it listed as unisex, lol. I kind of wish the band was a constant size instead of getting skinnier down the band. It's only $62 at OS right now and I like the simplicity and the fact that it's waterproof.

You more than likely won't be able to find it locally.
I ordered it from mrwatch.com but I can't seem to find it online anymore.
Not sure what the definition of "nice" is exactly, but I have never been a watch person. Received this is a gift from my SO recently.

Actually, the watch itself looks pretty old; the silver back is worn & aged; indeed, if it is fake, it is a good looking fake, as those pictures strike me as having the sort of appearance which would have been commensurate with having been manufactured in the 20s or 30s, or, possibly the 40s; the lugs, especially, look quite old, as do the hands and the winding crown.
The image on the face does seem a bit, ah, garish, though.....
Here's a couple of other pictures:
I don't know anything about watches. I just really liked it. It has probably been restored somewhat or something too. Who knows? I'll see when I get it.
What do you think?

That looks like a nice timepiece. Omega is a great watch company. You should see if you can get it appraised. How did you get your hands on that?
eBay. Waiting for it in the mail, those were the stock pictures. We'll see what I get. I just really like it. Idk if it's fake, or real, and I don't really care that much. I guess I'd be interested to know, but I just really liked it so I bid and won.
Hopefully it arrives just fine. The seller has a good rep, so we'll see.
I guess in that sense, the next question would be what price tag came with it. Quite a bit can be determined from that, unless it miraculously escaped under the radar for being an incredible steal?
Little bit over $355.
haha. As I said, I probably overpaid or something, but I like it.
