I use an Invicta for everyday use while out and about. Plus it makes my kids happy as they got it for more as a birthday present. They are not what they use to be since they changed who is making them but still a solid watch and looks great.

For nicer watch I have a TAG Carrera which was a present from my wife one year and when I finished grad school I bought myself another present an IWC Spitfire.

I am currently looking at a Garmin for the outdoor activities. Was going to go with the Fenix 5 but the 6 just rolled out not to long ago so now comparing.

If I was rich watches would be my vice.

If I ever win the powerball my first gift to myself would be from Jaeger-LeCoultre

Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetual

Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie

or the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor

But since that will not happen the next one I am looking to add to my collection is the Master Compressor Diving by Jaeger-LeCoultre which is very modest in price and would become my everyday watch.

I have 2; an Omega speedmaster moon watch I bought at the Pearl harbor navy exchange in 1990 and a Rolex submariner I traded a 20ga Browning Diana grade superposed for.

I love timepieces and have a collection.

My everyday is a Submariner. I have other nice pieces ranging from a custom gold Presidential with a custom nugget band to a black diamond Super Avenger.

Ditto. I would keep a steady collection at 5-10 and trade out every few years. My wish list would be:

Would keep my Sub and add:
Patek calatrava - formal watch
Jaeger lecoultre - not a big fan of the reverso. But I would want some model just so I could say Jaeger lecoultre.
Panarei luminor for a smart casual watch.
an audemars royal oak - stainless strap
And maybe an Omega planet ocean with black face - probably the bond special addition you can never have too many dive watches.

This is my next one I want as mentioned earlier. Very simple design and look, but great all around watch.

That Jaeger is one I haven't seen. That's pretty doggone cool. The open tourbillon is fantastic.

And yes, you're going to need to hit the lottery.

Cheapest there sits at around 1m and the others go up over 4m.

For a very clean look I like this as well.



This I am not sure about wearing but do like with the triple axis tourbillon with sun, moon and Earth globes



Not sure I could justify to my wife if we hit the powerball dropping over 10m on watches but again that is my vice.

Do you keep up with Producer Michael on the YouTube’s? Guy has ridiculous watches. I don’t know if he has any 10 million dollar watches, but he has a number at over 1 million. I’m sure you enjoy Hodinkee too.

I started out not liking a lot of the non-classic watches, but now a lot of them are growing on me. What do you think about those skeletons that are all compacted into a small rectangular strip? They are starting grow on me some.

Here is a link to the skeleton “bridge”. Not sure where all the rest of the motion works is located. Skeleton bridge


If I bought $10 million in watches it is somewhat possible that I could find that ONE that would make me forsake all others. Only possible, though.

I like the classic look still and has to be at least 40mm or greater.

Wore a Tag aquaracer for over 15 years. My wife gave it to be as a wedding present. Stainless steel with black face.

Recently switched to Apple Watch. I got the 44 black stainless steel with cellular but I just use it tethered off my phone and didn’t set up a line.
