Flyers27 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I've got 3 watches. A Nixon and a Diesel that rarely get worn, and a Casio G-shock Rangeman that rarely leaves my wrist. Didn't think I'd find a topic like this here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say- we’re not playing goal 24/7, I like to discuss other stuff with people I normally discuss goalie stuff with; say a discussion amongst friends.

There were a few put out by the traditional mechanical makers and now they go for somewhat big money. I’d buy one of these bad boys if the price were right.

BadAngle41 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have a number of watches... an ESQ, a couple Tags, a Nixon, a Raymond Weil, a Seiko, a Suunto, a Shinola, and even a Swatch... but my daily is a Ball Engineer Master II Telemeter... good weight, accurate, reliable. Sucks when I have to get it serviced, but is what it is... always on the lookout for a moderately priced Panerai... which i why I don't have one... they don't exist. Instead I'll dump money into gear and car parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel your pain about lesser-known watches getting serviced: I had a Concorde Impressario Chronograph that used the Zenith El Primero Chrono movement that Rolex would modify for their old Daytona watch. The problem for me getting it serviced was that certain parts were very easy to get; the parts that would break were IMPOSSIBLE to get!!!! Zenith (at the time) did not have much of a presence in North America and thusly never had parts on hand for that movement. I traded that gorgeous watch for another Datejust, as I did not want to be without a watch for easily SIX MONTHS. Swatch was the first “affordable” Swiss-made watch. The funniest thing is that Swatch AG has ended up being behind a lot of the luxury brands’ watches. I had a few Swatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off of a quick google search though, it definitely looks like a watch that suits my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znowleopard Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 This tread actually inspired me to buy a watch so here is it is a Timex easy reader with a NATO strap on because I hate leather straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 My grandfather’s mid 70s 1630 datejust. Ive had it for about 5 years now and had it serviced recently. Been wearing it everywhere but the rink. it’s weird and not your typical DJ, but I love it. Sorry about the bad photos, I can take better ones later if needed.

Taco Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks! Yeah supposedly Rolex didn’t make very many of these when compared to the other styles. even more rare is the steel version of this, the 1530. Both were experimental for their time, using a bracelet that integrated into the case, a sapphire crystal, the oyster perpetual, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 18k Date jumped in value because now it is the new size of the Ladies’ Datejust and the gents’ is now a 42mm case. People forget that Rolex makes a LOT of different watches, just their automatic sports watches are by FAR the most popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
