Fancy. I think my friend has a movado-his dad teaches saudi arabian princes and stuff how to fly, and they always give him watches, so he finally gave my friend one.
You know those watches where some old guy says "I bought this thing twenty years ago for twenty bucks, banged it on every brick wall and dunked it in every swimming pool, and it's still running perfectly on the same battery it came with"?
I want one of those. Anyone know what watch I should buy?
Most of my watches are Citizen (very well made, never need a battery, etc), plus a Bulova or two and a few Timex and Fossil (steel or titanium, more chronographs than not).
I was considering asking for this for my Birthday;

Submariner Full 18k Gold
For Only:
$89.00 For the way that this watch looks, & all the appointments that make it look almost EXACTLY like a REAL "ROLEX", you just can't beat the price. A "REAL ROLEX" of that particular model retails for, (hold onto your hats) $23,225.00-WOW.
It IS a GREAT LOOKIN' WATCH, but with MY income, I'd be happy with the "REPLICA"
Supposedly it would take a "certified jeweler" to be able to tell the two apart...........
No idea if it's real or not. I inherited it when my great-grandfather died.
The watch I usually wear is a skagen 238LTMB... pretty cool watch, made from titanium, and apparently a pretty rare model from skagen. Here's a picture:
Hey Jason, nice to see ya make an appearance on the Forum. It's BEEN a while, hasn't it ??? Anyway, about your watch, man that thing IS thin, & futuristic looking too. NICE !
