Wristwatches
My trusty Seiko Automatic has died. Well, actually I killed it. Last week I dropped it in the sink (full of water) and it stopped. I opened it up to dry it out, and it was working, but running slow. Today (after resetting it about 5 times in 12 hours), it pissed me off, so I opened it up to blow it out with pure nitrogen. The blast screwed up the hairspring. After 7 years, I guess I got my $18 worth out of it.
So, I need a watch. No, not some overpriced, pretentious brand. Something plain, reliable and cheap. I prefer analog, but would consider a digital if they made one that didn't look so damn goofy. Simple, clean lines. Aside: why is it that most expensive watches are tastefully plain, but the cheap ones have all sorts of needless and nonfunctional crap added? What the heck is up with non-functional chrono dials? So, get another 5 series Seiko? Anyone have one of those solar or Eco-drive models? Say the hell with it and get the $20 special at wally world? If you had to get a watch, where would you go and how much would you spend? |
Did you see this thread?

Only if you buy one after personally pulling 1M+ on your W2 or If you are awarded one by your company for crushing balls and making cooches squirt with your aura. Otherwise it's tasteless. |
No way I'd ever pay big bucks for a watch. That's just pretentious. All it does is tell the time, so it's no better than a good quality watch at a reasonable price. It's just advertising that the wearer is a dickhead.

Expensive as is 2-3 hundred? That's okay. You pay for nice.
It's the 10 to 20 thousand dollar ones I'm talking about. Or the 1000 dollar jewel encrusted pieces of crap that won't keep time. |
Whatever bro, my Rolexes have gotten me laid more than my Corvettes have.
|
I'm married. I don't get laid anymore.

Buy a cell phone then? |
