  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Anyone else into watches

Nice stash. Love dive watches because of the size.
Got a Panerai with a rubber strap on it but this is the only one for now.
Oris is a cool watch also.

Ahhh, Panerai are fantastic, and you don't see them that often either. There ad's seem to be averywhere lately.

Lately I have been wearing the new ESQ Swiss watches, I really like the new touch's and some of the other models. My wife just bought me a ESW Quest, stainless with black strap for our anni.

I really like the new ESQ Fusion, haven't seen one in person though.

Right now my first level grail is a JSAR by Marathon, the real grail though is a Sinn U2 GSG9. I am just the type of guy who would rather have five $200 watches thand one $1000 watch. I carry lots of guns and knives, the same stuff everyday and pretty much wear the same clothes (hey I wash em). The only thing I change out pretty much every day and some times twice a day is my watch.

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.

I looked at this watch as I was having a battery replaced in one of the Movados I have,,,,I was impressed with the technology and simplicity of the Eco-Drive and will probably get this next. I have a collection of watches that I started about 20 years ago,,,,Guccis, Tag, Movados, phillipe patek. I almost bought a Rolex but then got smart and didn't,,,enough is enough and I have watches I don't even wear anymore. Wish I had the money back that I paid for some of this $hit I thought I needed to have. One good watch is enough and as long as it tells me the correct time, I'm good.

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.

Some nice pieces. I thinned the heard and sold four to by a Marathon JSAR, wore it for about two weeks but it just didn't scratch the itch. Sold the JSAR and bought the Tuna. Ahhhhh, the Tuna. One day maybe the Darth Tuna (1000 meter rated and black). My current grail is a SINN GSG9. Right now looking for an older 007 or 6309 to bead blast and pimp.
