Arrow OFFICIAL: Watch Owner Thread

I wont say I am a crazy baller watch owner, but I do love nice watches. I have had few nice ones in the past.
Just wanted to see any other members here enjoy the same passion.

It doesnt have to be $$$ to be a nice watch. I have had $50-$7000 watches and one of my top favorite ones are $200.

Post some pic of your watch that you have on now.
I love all watches.

Here are few to start off.

Bell and Ross
I had 247 out of 250 made. I made good money off that watch on Ebay.



Cartier Tank Watch. Got it from a ex GF.
This is not actual pictures. I cant find one that I have. Look later.




This is what I wear now.
Rolex Sea Dweller diving watch.
I purchased it little over a year ago for around 4k ish and now its around 6.2k.

One of my all time favorite.
Due to my work in a harsh environment, the bands (Soft rubber) keep breaking after few months.
Besides that I loved this watch.

Luminox

Suunto Observer watch.
One of the first decent watch that had a compass without being giant watch.
The bands broke on both sides after few years because they are made out of hard rubber. Dont think I can replace it.

I have one of the "new" Tag F1 watches that I got about 3 years ago.
The rubber around the case has dried out and is crumbling off. Also the band is coming apart. Pins are falling out. This is my "weekend" watch and sees limited time on my wrist. Im not really that impressed with it.
