I love orange chips so obviously I needed an orange watch.

I can’t compete with these uber watches but I do like what I have. I find that Citizen makes watches I like for a budget I can afford. Just got this one this week.
My girlfriend haunts thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets and consignment shops constantly, and has a great eye for deals. The most recent was this Belair watch, made for Siebke & Hoyt, which she bought dirt cheap at one such venue... Self-winding, and it started right back up after about 30 seconds of shaking. Made for men, but she’s keeping it for herself. :^(

You've got to be shitting me lol. Just casually busting out the nautilus. That's epic
Wow I had to google that one. OMG most casual epic watch photo ever. LOL. Didn’t realize watch prices can get that crazy.
I just got this Breitling Colt Automatic as a 10 year gift from my employer, but I don’t really see myself ever wearing it. I’ve got a Citizen Eco that I like enough and an Apple Watch I wear everyday. Anyone have a recommendation of best place to sell it?
That is a sweet gift! I've been with my current employer almost 25 years and never got anything even remotely that nice. You must be sleeping with the boss.

Well they gave out maybe 35 of them this year, so perhaps they get a deal when buying in bulk!
Guess I need to get a job where you work then.

I’m open to offers!
Just picked this up, haven’t been huge on an Dan Henry’s before this, and still don’t know how I feel about a Meca-quartz movement, but I couldn’t pass up the iconic Panda for $30k less than the Universal Genève Nina Rindt that inspired it. I think I really like it.
Breitling Source Forum. They have a buy/sell there. Everything you would ever want to know about Breitlings.

Didn't think id ever be buying another high-end watch again with a baby on the way. But I had a moment of weakness and figured I could sell some chips to fund the purchase.
As a result I ended up buying this yesterday, for my wife rather than myself. So here I am with one less chipset, and a whole bunch of other chips I need to sell, and I don't even have my own watch to show for it lol. The things we do for love.

Two of my favourite things in life. Chips and watches.

Well now I'm really jealous, the royal Oak is one of my all time favourites
I wanted something durable, simple and classic, to have just a single watch to wear awywhere from the beach to Presidential receptions.

I was always in love with the royal oak, I was finally able to find it this year was super stoked. Moved my chips fund into this so no more chips for me.

Been browsing watches for a few weeks and finally pulled the trigger on a Grand Seiko. Really cool watchmaker with incredible attention to detail on their dials. As far as price/quality goes, they definitely offer a great bang for your buck. This watch in particular spoke to me because it has a lot of versatility and the blue dial with gold seconds hand is absolutely mesmerizing. Pictures don’t do it justice as the dial takes on a different look depending on how the light hits it.

On the wrist today, but just sold it to a good friend.
