Wanted to get my wife something nice for giving birth to our daughter, and although I was 6 months late, better late than never





She loves it, and now I can buy myself some extra toys without her complaining!








Plus, she was getting mad that my watch collection is far greater than hers...wife 3 me 15.

Some worth more than others.

There are lots of deals to be had, but takes some research to be sure you're not buying a POS

This one has a Patek movement. Super score









You my friend, have exquisite taste.

I'm addicted to solar-powered and titanium watches but just got my first mechanical recently. I plan to pick up an early 70's Seamaster someday... *sigh*

Orient Mako
Reguno Titanium Solar-Tech Day/Date
Citizen Titanium Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar (The Beater -- 12+ years and still ticking!)

Definitely a lot of nice watches in this thread. Nothing too fancy here, but these are the 4 Nixon's that I own.
