Watch Thread

[TRXaddict]

I've noticed some users on here that also have some interest in watches like i do so i figure why not have a thread that we can just discuss watches and show off what we have.

So far i have 2 fossil watches but i can't find the other to take a photo of it.

but here is my blue fossil.. really love this one because the lens changes colors is diff angles of light. in one angle it will be purple... and other, a sort of yellowish bluish look and i love that about it.

I recently built a fascination for g shock watches and decided id get my first g shock on ebay. Literally was the only place that has this watch in stock and they only had 2 left so I'm happy i got this one when i did. I made sure it wasn't a knock off and couldnt help but buy it. Plus... anything with burnt titanium gets to me and its almost like something that gets me to pull my wallet out every time. if i could ... i would build my savage with burnt titanium parts and polish them and have an awesome look but can't find many places that sell alot of titanium parts. ANYWAYS..

and then for my dream watches would be

I have 2 Fossil watches, both cost me arounf $175 a piece, but damn they are badass, if I find them I will post them up. Not really into watches anymore since I always have to take it off at some point of the day.

I have a Fossil "Snap-On" edition watch. I wear it for special occasions, otherwise I don't wear a watch anymore. I used to have to wear one at all times, but I never replaced the band on the last one I regularly wore, and I got used to not having one on.

That blue g-shock that you linked my dad has. With the red and green hands, haha i think its really cool, but ugly at the same time. I have two g-shocks, a grey and red one and also a matte black one.

Not to hi-jack the thread but dude what year supra do you? I have been in love with them since I've seen them. I'm only 15 now but hopefully soon Ill be able to own one. My dream Supra is a white MKIV targa top with black rims.

 

[TRXaddict]

^ its not a problem

It happens to be the same model your talking about just stock wheels though.

Its Non turbo unfortunately but i still love it.. its my dream car aswell.. and I've never grown tired of it. I've owned it for going on almost 5 years now and i love it just as much as the first time i turned the key.

speaking of keys just got this on ebay aswell.. thought it was necessary for 15 bucks.

 

[NitroRC4Life]

Dude I'm so jealous, you have to do a 2jz swap and put in a huge turbo then you'll have some real fun I might have to come steal it next year.

 

[TRXaddict]

well it has a 2jz just not the twin turbo head. the botto half of the block is nearly identical compared to the 2jzgte besides oil squirters. but yeah my dream is to have the TT with the getrag 6 speed and trd rear diff... omg heaven

 

[NitroRC4Life]

They also sell a TRD wide body kit for it But we can talk some other time about it because ill be here all night talking about that car.

My Grandfather was a clock smith, so I get the watch bug honestly. I've been wearing a wrist watch since I was 7 years old. Because I'm so used to having one on, I never take it off, and thus I'm kind of hard on them.

Luminox something or other, biggest POS I've ever owned, worse than a $29 wally world Timex.

My current daily watch, Invicta Pro Diver automatic in stainless steel. Been beating on it for over two years now, and it shows, but it's still going strong. I love this thing

Never needs a battery since your body motion winds it.

One of my most prized possesions I own. I inherited this from my Grandfather. Best I can track down with the serial # (there is some discrepancy on the numbers for the company, but the original company went under in 1929 (started in 1885), and even if my # is way off, it's still easily a 100 years old. I grew up in a house with a Grandfather clock (sort of ironic huh?), and hated the constant tic tock at first. Years later when I left the nest, I couldn't sleep without it. Now, every night as I go to bed, I wind this up and listen to it till I got to sleep. It makes me remember all the times I pestered my Grand Dad in his basement workshop hovering over his shoulder. I'd give anything for one more day of doing that.

See all those little markings? In the old days, whenever a watch / clock smith would work on something, they'd put their mark on it.

Here's a short vid showing it still works great after all this time. We just don't build stuff like this anymore.
