lets talk watches (mid to high end)

[dubs chops]

OK I should say mid to mid because I cannot spend over $500 on a watch so that knocks out a fair number. I am new to nice watches. (I currently wear a Gshock) I am looking at getting into a watch I can wear on and off and possibly resell down the road. I like the self illuminating diver style watches. the tactical style watches are also cool. I love the the lum-tec B series combat watches.

http://www.lum-tec.com/collection/current-models/combat-b/combat-b17.html but cant spend that kinda coin.

I like luminox watches as well but am just looking to see what else is out there.

Tawatech wathes are nice but still some coin.

I guess I am just looking for other peoples opinions that have watches that cost this much, and like me are not rich. lol

Was it an investment you were happy you made? what did you go with? did you sell it late? if so was it a loss or even or profit?

what watches do you all recommend?

Love my Luminox watch. So pleased with it I went out and bought another one. It's nice being able to read it in total darkness.

I've sold all my mid-high end watches and am wearing a Casio G-shock mudman these days.. but I still like nice watches.

These guys have a lot of nice things that don't go into the absurd price ranges

I've been drooling over one of these for a lot of years




I almost pulled the trigger on one of the Maratac watches from Countycomm about a year ago until I saw it on some dudes arm..

I have two luminox watches. One is close to ten years old and has been a work watch and has held up great. Tough watches

I got an Invicta diver watch for graduation. It's pretty nice, it's my first mechanical watch. Seems well built.

Dad gave me a Citizen Navihawk a decade or so ago. I still love it. You can get them new for $400, or used for around $250:

(Mine has a black leather band instead of the metal.)

You can get a Fossil for under $100 and they are very tough watches. Look at amazon.
