How do you all keep them nice wearing them all the time? Even my watches with hard crystals will pick up scratches after a few years use.

Be careful when at a desk and take your watch off when using a laptop. If I follow those two rules, I never get any scratches.

When I wear my more expensive watches, I pay attention to my left hand :001_tongu
I've never scratched any of my sapphire crystals, and have banged a couple of them pretty good. Mineral and Acrylic crystals will get marked up, but I've had good luck removing the marks with toothpaste or polywatch.
The bezels on my Rolex and Omega watches are hard to mess up. You just about have to slide them across a floor to damage them. Bracelets are another story and will get marked up. Sooner or later any watch you wear will get some wear marks. If they get too bad, send the watch off for service.
Enjoyed wearing this one so much yesterday, I decided to get it another whirl today :cool:

Does anyone know where in Australia I might be able to check out/ buy one of those Stowa Flieger watches? I'm going to read some reviews but my Omega's might well be pensioned off VERY soon. Well, maybe not... but I really want one of these now. That is possibly the coolest watch I have seen in an age.

Stowa only sells watches through their website: www.stowa.com. Stowa and Meistersinger are my favourite watches for the same reason: very simple, fantastic quality and workmanship, and elegant without being gauche.

You do know it's a bit of an "homage" to the IWC Big Pilot...right?

Not really. Stowa is one of the original companies (which included IWC) to produce Flieger watches for the German air force. It's not even close to an 'homage', IMO. From the Stowa site: "During the 1940s, only five companies made the original pilot watches: IWC, A. Lange & Söhne, Laco, Wempe and STOWA."
The German government decided on the specs, and the five companies all had to produce according to that. In that sense, all modern Fliegers, IWC included, are homage watches to the originals.

Wow, that's fascinating--didn't know that.
But Stowa is just a brand now, one that Jorg Schauer bought and resurrected--it's not really the same company that made those early fliegers, afaik. (To be clear, I'm a Schauer fan and believe he's doing good work)
I'm sure you'll disabuse me of that if I'm wrong :blush:

Again, in a way. Jorg was apparently hand-picked by the son of the founder when he himself was ready to retire. So, you're obviously right, Jorg isn't of the family; but he was chosen by the family (of course that may just be hype to keep brand loyalty, who knows!). Regardless, you're right, he does make a fine watch. Now, if I ever get a tenure track job, maybe I'll swing for an IWC one day! They are also quite a watch! A bit beyond my current PhD candidate income.:biggrin: Cool! I was poking around IWC and found that Carl Jung was actually linked to the company. Interesting.

Yes I do, wore it today, never loses a minute and I've done nothing to it. I've ridden my mountainbike (accidently) while wearing it so I suppose it is fairly shockproof. Picked it up in Vienna, Austria.

The Casio Waveceptor. It has everything I require:
(1) It keeps perfect time (it receives a radio signal from the atomic clock, and sets itself while I sleep)
(2) It's solar, so it never requires a battery
(3) It looks good
(4) It has a perpetual calendar, so I never have to set the date
(5) It's cheap enough that if something bad happened to it, I wouldn't feel terrible or stupid.
I thought it would be a great day to wear my vintage Pierce.

heh, thanks.
that one was purchased to see if i liked the styling of the Omega Planet Ocean, where the Seiko mod gets it's looks. just wish i'd spent the extra $40 for the domed sapphire crystal.
the wife told me to just get the Omega, but i was a little hesitant about a serious "investment grade" watch.
funny part is, while i still admire and lust for the Omega, i just can't justify the cost when i get so much joy out of the modded 007. and, considering my track record with watches, trashing a $260 Seiko will not cause me too much pain versus a doorknob killing a $5k Omega.

If you really want the Planet Ocean, you can easily find preloved models on TZ in 95%+ condition for less than $2500. There are also Omega AD's that will discount that model 30% or more. Biggest thing to remember...Never pay retail on an Omega :wink2:

Gents, I recently bought this Panaris watch out of curiosity of chinese movements. I must say that I am impressed with the build quality and accuracy.

The Casio Waveceptor. It has everything I require:
(1) It keeps perfect time (it receives a radio signal from the atomic clock, and sets itself while I sleep)
(2) It's solar, so it never requires a battery
(3) It looks good
(4) It has a perpetual calendar, so I never have to set the date
(5) It's cheap enough that if something bad happened to it, I wouldn't feel terrible or stupid.
Wait - a watch that does exactly what a watch is supposed to do, a good looking watch that performs flawlessly? Yet, it isn't rare and it didn't cost much.
Mind boggling. :wink2:

Thank you Frank, that's a very good eye to pick out that strap .. in another life I had PWBAD (Panerai WatchBand AD). These days it takes about a year to complete the "rotation" of bands wearing the 112 a couple times a month before switching out the strap ..

Vostok Amphiba (Russia). for $40 you get a reliable automatic movement that handwinds (non-hacking). i picked up this one because is was the model used by 'Team Zissou' in "The Life Aquatic" with Bill Murray (screen cap above). the stock pot metal bracelets are crap, but they look great on rubber dive straps or Zulus.

The Vostoks are nice watches at a good price. Avoid the Polyot's though - they are not nearly as good IMO.

i'm assuming you mean "The Life Aquatic". got mine through the seller "Zenitar" on Ebay. he's considered pretty reliable in the Russian watch community. if he doesn't have that model currently available, drop him a message and he can probably get it.
fyi, it appears prices have gone up to around $50-$60 since i bought mine.
i also have an cushion cased "Black Diver" Vostok from him that runs great:

Nice. It looks as though it says "DE" at the bottom of the bezel (I suppose it's 30 but I prefer DE).
Thats a great band, I've been looking for NATO's for my monster, where did you get it?

You may want to look at one in person before purchasing it. The orange color is more like the color of a pumpkin instead of the brighter orange that is more common. I think the yellow one would be a better option.

True, but if you don't need a mint Red Sub or something like that, the vintage Rolex market has actually taken a pretty big hit in the bad economy. Buyer's market right now, and some real deals to be had for people with the cash.
You could pick up an "average" vintage GMT or Sub right now for considerably less than a new one, just FYI. :thumbup:

Got my Speedmaster "brightened up" a bit by a local jeweller who does nice watch work today. The camera helps a bit, but the watch looks a lot fresher with the crystal and case cleaned up a bit.

No, it's 42mm. That has me worried about the Mako II I ordered. It is 44mm or 45mm large. :blink:
Rich, which one did you buy?
Sorry for the late answer Andrew. I bought the Multi Eye black face CETO6001B out of their Urban line. I can't show you an actual picture because my daughter just wrapped it for my wife to give to me as a present. Anyway, here is a picture that is published on the Orient Website.

Oh, man. Do I ever love this watch. I have a plan to get one in the new year. I went back and forth (and back and forth) between this and the Meistersinger 3-hand Scrypto Automatik. I finally went with the Meistersinger (because I absolutely love the dial). But will eventually get this one, too because I really like the hand-winding Unitas 6498 movement.
Great watch, Rudy.

Gents, Christmas came early and left me this Mako II diver. It is probably one of the largest watches I own at 44m X 50mm. I resized the bracelet by removing some links. It actually feels comfortable on my wrist. I will wear it a few days and decide whether to keep it or order a Mako I.

Citizen Skyhawk AT.
(Gee, Andrew, 45mm not incl. crown... makes the Mako II feel diminutive!)
I'm finding that big watches that are designed well "wear small" - don't know that they LOOK small (or even presentable) on a skinny wrist like mine - but they feel good. Not uncomfortable at all.

Omega pocket watch. Got it from an uncle of my father. He used it when he was working with the Norwegian railwais. I think it is ca. 1930. It still keep the time perfectly. You can see a damage around the "4" number. My fathers uncle told me that he lost the watch down on the railway once, so that`s why.

Now there is a beautiful watch that you don't see very often. On top of that it's a Omega Railroad watch, but best of all is that it belonged to your great uncle. Just think, your uncle used that watch during the Depression and WWII. That is a very impressive history!
This is my daily wear watch for work.
