I was trying to find a section in this forum that would accept such a thread. I think this may be it.

Back in GCF we used to have threads talking about timepiecs. I believe it has been a while since we have had one so I guess it is time to strike another one.

Go ahead and post any timepieces that you have, want, or like and/or write about anything relating to timepieces.

I currently own an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I love this watch and truly would not change anything about it.

Here are some pics:

One thing that truly fascinates me the most about watches is how some brands have a history. Now, I know there are brands that are better than both Rolex and Omega. I particularly am biased towards Omega. However, recently I have really been looking at Rolex and how their standards are. I must give it to their marketting department--which some argue doesn't do much at all since Rolex is one of the most recognized brands--for introducing me to some of the most valueble things that concern Rolex.

Look at some of these Rolex videos:

904L is amazing and is more than enough for a watch but you can truly admire their quality.

And with a Federer introduction...

A video about Panerai's movements.

Great photos Mike ....and a very good watch too.

My watch:

One of the things that greatly attracted me to this watch was it's old fashioned allure. The watch it's self has a very classy theme to it; most definitely an old fashion look and style - all of which is accentuated by the conventional brown coloured leather strap.

Couldn't ask for more.

Since cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players etc incorporate clock function, I gave up wearing a watch.

Otherwise I have never been very fond of watches due their jewelery function / status ... Because I just hate jewelery.

Jewelery, status?? Ehh! I see my watch as a scientific instrument for measuring time.

You don't. You put it inside a watch box with a transparent top and spend quiet Sunday evening smiling at the watch over a cup of tea.
