Got a cool watch? Let's see it.

It's been a while since we've had a watch thread so...

Found this over the weekend.
I have boxes of stuff left from my Dads house that I have yet to go through. This was in one of his boxes.

Inscribed on the back is:
"Bureau of ships
US Navy
Comparing Watch
10612-1943"

Inside it has the usual markings along with a U.S. Govt stamp.



We'll see if we can get going again

Paging ATG to the "Bling" thread.

Cartier Roadster my buddy got on one of our down river
snorkle trips a couple years back. Sold it on ebay for $1500.



Nothing that great in my collection...
I do have more sunglasses then Ill ever need in a lifetime.
The river drunks replace the supply every year.

+1 Watches, sunglasses and pens are my weakness

Had one of these for many years, my dad won it in Korea playing poker with the USMC. Then the strap broke while I was riding on the freeway one day.

What time do you think you will be in Baker this week??

Where did your dad carry it before giving it to you?

Fucking classic. oseroseroseroser

"Five long years he wore this watch, up his ass. Then, he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

I like them simple:

Stumbled on this a little while ago. Poor man's navitimer. Quartz. Keeps great time and helps me convert exchange rates and figure out my ETA here in the pacific.

You should start a "Got An Ugly Green Carpet?" thread.

Its an ugly green towel, and its not mine.

Yeah, you're right, that wouldn't be nearly as interesting a thread. Hell, I have ugly green towels.

Dude, that's not carpet it's his stash.

I have this, and a couple Omegas.

Don't know much about it. A gift from an "admirer"

I no longer have this -- it was lost or stolen during a move - but my all-time favorite watch was this Cartier tank watch from the 1970s. Delicate and tasteful.



I've never found a watch since that I can truly tolerate wearing. I suppose I should go find another Cartier on eBay!

nothing wrong with a g-shock!
