i think we need to get ToD in here

i remember when visiting hong kong in my early teens, watches were the craze, and then i'd compare what they had there on the streets, to the coolest stuff i could find at home.

they had like keypads on digital watches back in 1995, in fact my brother still has his somewhere hahaha

but yeah, how the times have changed : (

also in possession of a hallowed case, undecided what to do with it. the clock module is cheap shit; the glass, the face will go, but the bracelet is nice and the case is nicely machined, solid steel.

Protip: When you're going to have your first kid(s) switch to a military-grade/survival watch for a while. The things my son does to things...

+ Show Spoiler +

It was a graduation present from my father. I rarely if ever wear it, I mostly just keep it in a safe.

Yes, those are diamonds.

That's gorgeous.
Friend of mine just bought this.
You don't see them around very often. Exquisite piece of work. Beats a lot of Tags and Rolexes imho.

Yeah that's not even half of it, it's just what I managed to take pics of.

There were 2 more Oris watches, 2 Ebels, a Hamilton, 2 more Steinharts, one more Zenith, one more Omega, a Sinn and a bunch of others I can't recall right now.

It's not just one guy's collection though, there were 5 people in total.

Wow, I just ordered that exact watch to have as an everyday watch. My poor Tissot is getting ruined from day to day use, the steel band is getting all scratched. I figured what could possibly be better than a G-Shock for a daily use watch. Should get here early next week. Super pumped!!

Im gonna buy a new watch soon. I'd like a classic look, but digital. And with a price of around 200$.

Current leader of the race is this one:

However it looks a bit too dorky that i feel its a perfect match. Any suggestions?

Edit: After looking around a bit i simply find the digital ones too ugly... so gonna buy a normal watch instead of a multitool.

Hmf, maybe this:
