Mogatu'r

I have a few recommendations, 

​Look into a Tissot T033, with the ETA 805.112 Quartz, sapphire crystal and a nice 38mm case.  The only issue I had with my Danish piece (Skagen), was that the titanium case got scratched easily, and most don't come with sapphire crystals.  But other than that, great watch!

Seiko 5 sports, Automatic mov't (4r36), big nice 43mm case.  Citizen Avion or the Black IP with their famous eco-drive (I really like wearing this one), Avion has a big 45mm case.  

A nice Swatch Irony would also fit the bill, and you can't never go wrong with a sturdy, reliable Swatch!  I'm not sure what to feel about their system 51, mine gains about 5s a day,has some quirks.  Too bad they didn't stay with their supper ETA automatic movement.  

Oh and last but not least, the AVI-8 is also a nice piece, come in quartz and mechanical.  Their automatic movements consist of the solid Japanese MIyota movement.  Good luck!

Where you finding these estate sale that have these watches...

Let me know when you want to part some of those Seamasters.

I will , I'm about to add freaking rare a$$ piece to the Omega collection . Never seen one in person, is a Omega Ranchero, and has some pretty neat history.

Good grief man, that's a lot of watches. But, it's an investment if you bought them right.

am watch (doubt I'll ever own this, I'm too cheap)

Gorgeous Tag!

Juan has almost as many Volvo's as he does watches

I just moved a few back to the apts since I'm running out of storage space, at least with watches they all fit betweeen my safe and dresser lol

Very interesting, it uses the Ronda 505.24h, which is like the quartz version of the 2893 GMT movement (0 to 24hr scale). I think I still have one, adjusting the time has its quirks, the slightest movement of the crown could be a 15-30 minute increment. Doesn't like to run backwards to adjust, only forward (same as Fortis watches) I believe. It is best to time it to the 30 min or hour mark. I'll put it on my list and let you know when I receive it, should be fun to own it.

3 of the latest addition, first a Swatch found in mint conditions from a collector.

Second, a freaking estate find with all original package, and another Tag to my Heuer collection, the iconic Formula 1.

And third, and one I've been trading on / off, but wanted a black dial with 18ct gold markers, and finally found one worth buying. 1959 (I believe) Oysterdate ref 6694, caliber 1225 mechanical watch. Although is not chronometer certified, at first it measured at 10 seconds slow, but after my watch guy took a look its about +1 a day . Definitely a timepiece worth keeping for my Rolex collection. Not a flashy one, just a nice piece to wear, very light and classic look.

I actually bought it with the intentions of giving it to my son when graduates High School lol.

Still looking for more semi-rare pieces out there, so stay tuned !

Holy shitballs. I knew you collected watches but damn! I hope you have some serious homeowners insurance.

Lol, as matter of fact I do , I get scared having anyone doing repairs in my place. I have a Rado collection as well, I will gather all and post pictures.

Going to revive this thread with some of my timepieces, quartz or not timepieces are timepieces. I just really LOVE mechanical watches, and have worked with a friend who is a horologist for ages. I inherited a Rado Captain Cook when I was 12, and that's when this passion of collecting watches started. Timepieces are not to brag about, while having a cocktail. To me they are magnificent tools, ones to measure the one thing we as humans value so much, time.

Ok, I didnt make this post clear enough. Those ebay links belongs to items I believe he sells under a company (Choice Mobile Uk Limited) which claims to be in the UK, but isn't.

Also, if you google his account on youtube.com you'll see him commenting on some videos yesterday.

Aren't you white? Dude I take no offense in this kind of topic, I just wanted you to elaborate a little bit more on your comment, that's all.

because some hispanic people often think they're white

and they are not
