What watch are you wearing today?

I like it. Different is good in my book.

 

Thank you for your comment. It's different for sure and I had to mix up my collection with this watch. Cheers

 

The 2022 Artisan De Geneve-Brooklyn Project which was a collaboration with Spike Lee.

Wow!! Amazing- You definitely won't see someone wearing the same watch across the bar!!

I consider myself a "relatively knowledgeable enthusiast/owner" when it comes to Rolex <by NO MEANS an expert> but had no idea and had never heard of the Artisan 'converted" or "skeletonized" Rolexes. Learn something new every day

I'm sure some purists might balk at this- and generally I am a purist with watches and cars- but this is beautiful, impressive and unique IMHO.

Can't wait to see the Daytona!!

Cheers

 

Wow!! Everything I said in post 19129 - But being a fan/owner of a Daytona- As well as a Spike Lee fan- and family in Brooklyn <until they passed> this ticks all the boxes.

Beautiful

 

They had a whole series of them awhile ago, Lenny Kravitz did a collaboration as well. This is the SL BK version I saw on someone, they look even better in person.

In honor of the little storm swirling in our watch thread teacup, I dug out of my watch box and am wearing today my 1971 Timex Marlin ($9.95 new) wristwatch.

That bad boy deserves a Speidel Twist-O-Flex!

I wonder if they still pluck the hair on your wrist like they did sixty years ago….

 

Dunno- most of us are way too young to remember.

Aaaaahh!!! "Twist-o-Flex"- Wow!! I saved and saved and saved to buy my dad a Seiko- Which for my budget as a 10-year-old was like buying a Platona- He loved it but immediately went to Joslins and bought a Twist-o-Flex for it- the man could not deal with clasps or buckles- Ha!

 

Precisely and appreciated- And at $9.95 it is classic and could still be worn with a suit or tux and probably keeps better time than watches costing 10x as much.

Oh and in the spirit of a certain recent <rookie> poster you can actually TELL TIME with this $9.95 watch versus ....... others

 

My everyday watch. Seiko Turtle

I have an original vintage Turtle & a vintage Rolex Presidential put away in a safety deposit box (they were my dad's) but I won't ever wear those. I'll just keep rocking the Turtle until I can afford a SS Daytona, someday.

My first watch was a Timex when I was in kindergarten. After one of the guys here posted their refurbished Timex, I wanted to do the same. I can't find it! So I bought a new one and have come full circle.

And yes, my original Timex was on a Speidel Twist-o-Flex.

That was the goal with the Artisan De Geneve watches and I'm only adding these two watches to my collection from them. Cheers

 

A BIG check in the box!

 

Iconic watch until to this day.

 

Havent seen this one. I thought at first was IWC.

 

Love gold rolexes. Enjoy.

 

I once asked why the various watch makers don’t sue each other when they copy each other’s designs.

The answer I got was that no one really is certain who came up with the design first.

 

Humm. I have a Twist-O-Flex off of the watch I inherited from my dad. You scare me. I like my wrist hair too much to put it on the Marlin.

 

It'll only sting the first few times you put it on.

Saves you the trouble and expense of having your wrist waxed.

 

LOL!
