Anyone else into watches

[mercop]

Got hooked on watches, well dive watches about nine months ago. Nothing very expensive yet. All Seiko and Citizens. Seems every time I am in a cigar shop I see a lot of kewl watches and it is a good conversation starter on top of the cigars.
Here are a few, got a few new ones not pictured.

Sorry bro just noticed this post very sweet collection of dive watches you have there I'm into time pieces as well but not the dive variety.. though it should be easy to get in to them if I can ever get around to taking that scuba course I've wanted to do for ages.

I generally collect regular wrist watches i.e. Rolex, Vacheron Constantine etc.. I've got my eye on a little watch all the BOTL's here might like I'm planning on buying it in October will post a pic when I do.

Very nice lineup.

I was into watches big time, until I got married.

Love the Tags, Gucci's, and Swiss Army.

Really like Skagen watches. Not expensive but excellent variety of styles.

Yep. I'm a big watch fan. Nice collection! I have the Citizen Nighthawk you have in your collection with the leather band courtesy of one of the Brother's on here. Last year I received an Omega Seamaster. Those are my only two watches right now, but if I only had the money, there would be soooooooooooooo many more.

For years Raymond Weil watches were my favorites and those were all that I wore. But I recently received a Citizen Eco-Drive as a gift from my company and it has quickly become my favorite. My other watches just sit in the drawer now.

Shit, I retired from the police dept and I never got no fine timepiece like that

Which one? I love Oris. I really, really want the skeleton they have out right now.

I've always loved the divers watches also. Back in 1990, about a year after my first job out of college, I treated myself to this TAG. Not sure what it would cost now, but back then I paid about $330 for it.

I still like this watch now as much as when I bought it. My admiration for watches was leading me to more expensive watches, so I quit buying them before I got out of control.

No gold watch?
My pops retired after thirty years on the force and he got a neat gold watch.

He must have been on a big job, either that or a good PBA or FOP.

Got me, i know he made it pretty high, captain.
and that is like 3 levels from sheriff. but i don't know, it doesn't come up much.
His job got boring the last 20 years, he turned into a paper pusher.

Sorry, too much cop speak. When I said big job, I meant a large agency.

 

[unfairtoast]

ah i see. yeah third largest in washington state.
Nice watches by the way.

Don't need a watch when you have a boss telling you when to go on break, lunch, leave, and bathroom time.

I worked patrol, SWAT and operations. Good thing about being the police is you pretty much do what you want, not much supervision. Some folks do well like that, some, not so much. Broads, booze and bills are to much for some guys.
