not mine yet...
but..the next time I head to Aruba (Summer 2008), the wife said that I can pick this one up as an anniversary gift. I guess she feels a little sheepish about all of the blue diamonds she got last time we were there.

Nice watch there Cagilber, exactly the same as mine, except all the black has fallen out of the numerals on the bezel 
I think I have a problem as this brings my watch tally up to 14 now
I need an intervention I think.
Latest one is a Citizen Eco-Drive Minute Repeater
What does a minute repeater repeat?
That is definitely a sexy watch.
God I love watches! What's that thing run down in Aruba?
It just repeats everything in a very small way.What does a minute repeater repeat?
Nice thread. Fun to look at all the different ones. Expensive or not, they are all interesting.
I always kind of regarded Rolexes as something I would never own until I got one as a work present. It is a vintage model, I think from the '60s or '70s, rebuilt and guaranteed, so it is like new. I like the understated style of this model. It is fun to wear both with ragged clothes and for those dressier occasions.
It is my only bling.
For hiking and in instances where a Rolex would be wrong, I wear my Casio G-shock atomic. It is big, different and totally accurate. I think. Should be.
I found that Rolex isn't a bad choice for those wanting an expensive watch because there is a robust market for used ones, they are always welcome as trade-ins and they are available as guaranteed remans, like mine. The parts are readily available and will be forever, and there are many techs who know how to work on them.

It basically chimes the time for you. Pointless really....unless you're blind of course.

I began my watch collection about a year ago and here my 3 watches that I currently possess.
my everyday watches:
nautica a09595
citizen promaster navihawk
and my dress watch:
seiko snd550
might not be as nice as other posters' omega's, breitling's and rolex's but im only 22 and just started my collection, hopefully in 2-4 years i'll be able to afford a breitling....but my dream watch and hopefully the last watch I'll ever buy for my collection is any Phillipe Patek.
sorry for the pics, I was too lazy to take pictures and uploading them.
cheers

Wow...this watch is amazing! I want one now, how much do they go for Mr. Hickman?
Mine. (All black G-Shock). Got it as a gift from a Japanese family I lived with during the summer. My only complaint about it is the weight. It's too heavy and big.
I got the silver cousin of your watch. Funny how they're all in the same manual...
It's a little big, but it's great. Solar powered so no batteries to replace, atomic so no time to set. Love it and it's shiny
I got fed up buying cheap watches only to have them stop working after a year or two.
So I bought this little beauty a year ago.
