Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Does anyone have this brand of watch?

I like that one.

He didn't like it. I guess he didn't see the back!

Bulova does make good watches..

Your post brings me memories of my past watch searches. Some of my other favs. Bear in mind, I had to look for sub-43mm cases because of my wrist.

I also like many of the Seikos around $100 on Amazon. Changing those stainless bands allows for different looks.

The link with the different leather bands brings up a question. What is the difference between cow leather and alligator leather? The reason i ask is because this specific option is listed on the christopher ward site for the C9 watch.. i have never owned a leather band watch before, so i am not knowledgable in this area at all..

It's a style thing. Alligator has a unique texture to it and is more expensive.

I question why it has to update the date six times a day? OK, maybe if you cross the International date line but that would require GPS integration as well.

Sorry, just bored on a call.

I'm a watch junkie. I have Bulovas, Baume & Mercier, Swiss Army Officer, Rolex. I looked a some RWs but did not buy.

The watch I wear every day, and my recommendation, SEIKO 5 automatic movement. Looks very much like a Rolex date just, has a real mechanical movement, is pretty accurate (couple of minutes a week) and is comfortable. It has luminous hands and markers, date and day, the crystal doesn't scratch, and every time I recall that I paid under $80 instead of $109 on a World of Watches sale special, I smile.

I don't like large or heavy watches. Drives me nuts. I'm kinda weird like that I supose. I don't even like change in my pockets. So...I buy the lightest / smallest watchs I can find.

The last two every day watches I got were Seiko Titanium. They are small enough and very light. I see the price has dropped on this one dramatically since I bought the damn thing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X5LMB8/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

For dress, I have a Rolex Cellini Clasic I bought a few years ago. It's plain, simple, light weight, nice leather band.

That is the watch that i am wearing right now... It's titanium, your right Michael, they are SUPER light.. They also warm up VERY quickly when you put them on.. I've had this watch since 1997, it's been a nice watch to own, and i will probably keep it forever as it's the first "nice" watch i was able to buy.

When i was in Guam, i was able to view the Rolex Cellini Clasic's in person, there are 2 Rolex stores within walking distance of each other there.. They are Really nice waches.

Murph, read the below website.
