For all the watch lovers on this board post pictures of your watch or pictures of watches you like or talk anything about watches! Here's a pic of my lovely skeleton, automatic watch:
And here's another skeleton watch which I would love to get, but costs $1,950.00 :(Spoiler
Maybe one day I can afford a watch as expensive and as beautiful as this. It's called a Tissot T-Complication Squelette if you was wondering. -

So in xc/track you need a watch to time yourself and such, and I've got a classic Ironman watch and my god, it's my best friend. It's been with me thru hell and high water. You know how people say a dog is a man's best friend? They are blind. They are wrong. Just kidding, but my watch and I are seriously bffls. I will be devastated when the batteries run out and I have to replace them. =(

What do you think of this watch @Solid ?
Quite marvelous don't you think? Really unique design and wonderful aesthetics. Here's a link to a video and some other pictures of it http://www.vancleefarpels.com/us/en/article/10935/midnight-planetarium-timepiece -

Literally the first thing I noticed. The person must have recently shaved their arms. -

Is that first watch made for people who wear their watches on their right hand? The round pully things on the side is on the left, I usually see them on the right of the watch. -

the only watch that's looks nice and a good investment all at once is a stainless steel rolex daytona. I prefer JLC old man style though

Is this the next big innovation in watches? [video=youtube;dnerqDWwVgg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnerqDWwVgg&feature=share&list=UUJkBIeTewoQGgtviUe5LH_g[/video] Edit: sigh, why does one video bbcode and the other doesn't? @fang Did I do something wrong here? This happened in a post I made on the league of legends thread as well, where my "mention" and video bbcode didn't work properly. Edit 2: and there we go again, that mention is fucked up.

There is a clear difference in the bbcode of the video's. Although I had the same problems, I never saw it on other members before. I contact Zombo about this. @Supergirl -

This is by far one of my favorite watches, the sheer complexity that's visible through the back and the nice a.lange & sohne face is just so beautiful Edit: oh yeah I forgot to mention that it costs like $2.5 million

Whoa, pretty old watch you got there. Not too fond of the front though, but I like the back. -

ikr, they're too beautiful to be just timepieces, they're more like art. Also do you know what kind of movement is in your watch? cause it looks like the same movement that's in my pocket watch but silver but I cant quite tell cause from what I can see -

Automatic mechanical watch. No need to wind it. It uses kinetic energy through wrist movement. -

judging from the face it looks like it might be an automatic version of what I have in my pocket watch I wish I had an auto watch tho, it'd be so handy not having to wind it all the time -
