DJMC Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Saw a topic like this on another forum and I wondered if it was sensible to advertise valuable watches when others who might like to steal them may be watch-ing too? Just a thought. Edited July 8, 2016 by DJMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Always good to be careful, as they are always people who unfortunately think it is acceptable to steal, however the photos of our cars do detail more expensive items that could be targeted. So away good to limit details online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Beanoir™ Posted July 9, 2016 Founder Share Posted July 9, 2016 I like watches and had a few, Omega Seamaster for a while but sold it as I found it too heavy (don't really get on with metal straps). I've had a Tag Heuer F1 Chrono, rubber strap job for about 12 years which has been my everyday does everything from out on the mountain bike to laying under the car. My slightly less hardworking watch is a Tag Heuer Carrera 300SLR which is a limited edition to commemorate the car that Stirling Moss won the Targa Florio and the Mille Miglia with in 1955. I liked the petrolhead connection and that there is no reference to 'Tag' on the watch, just 'Heuer' like the classic Heuer Carrera. I changed the strap on it to something more to my taste also. The last watch in my collection rarely gets worn (special occasions) although it was worn everyday by my grandpop, a carpenter by trade and I remember it well. It was left to me after he passed away. I don't really collect watches, but I would quite like a Tag Heuer Drive Timer, nice simple look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Beanoir™ Posted July 12, 2016 Founder Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just found a photo I took a while back (playing around with backgrounds) of my grandpop's watch. No idea what it is really, but it's certainly seen a few places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslan Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have a couple of Oris watches, a TT3 and Williams F1 model. I really like them and very rarely see others wearing them. Apparently they don't appeal to the hardcore watch snobs as they have a standard automatic movement or some other nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends upon what different people look for in a watch, the main thing I go on is if I like it or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm a massive watch fan (my user name is from a Rolex GMT). I currently have a Rolex Green Submariner, a Bell&Ross 126 Chronograph and a 1970's Rolex Date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richjar Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 I like the green subs, do you have the 50th anniversary edition or the all green Hulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The anniversary. I don't like the current Rolex tool watches, apart from The Explorer. The new cases are ugly IMHO. In fact all modern Rolexes are too blingy fro me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the Daytona is the slim case in the range... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Love the look of The Daytona, apart from the problem with most Rolexes these days. Too many polished surfaces. They end up looking too bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
