what do you guys do if your watch got some water vapor in it? mine is a little fogged up now....

Open up the caseback and put it in a bag of rice for a day or two. Some people have had good luck putting it ontop of something warm like a laptop.

If you actually require water resistance (swimming, diving) you'll want to bring it to a shop you may have a failed gasket somewhere.

I'd say $100 is budget

^^
I would say either save up to 500, or buy a Guess watch when they go on sale.

Oakridge Mall, has a quite a few shops with a bunch of brands to check out. But I wouldn't buy them locally.

I would just stay away from fashion brands like michael kors, guess, armani, any of that crap

Seiko, citizen in tha price range <200 ~ are more respected

amazon.com has good deals too

i just picked up a seiko auto for <100here, planning on using it for daily as i'm always around water more often
and my orient daily i picked up from here is leather which i don;t like getting wet (yea its a decent cheap watch but still don't like wet leather LOL)

sadly the exchange rate makes the deals not so sweet anymore :okay:
i've been eyeballing a B&M for awhile now on the .com site and it went on sale
but the exchange rate didnt make for much savings if you factor in the other costs involved
....but with that being said i'm debating on selling my Hamilton Pilot and just getting it anyways cuz a little bit of savings is still ...well...savings :considered:

Anyone know where i can bring my Citizen Navihawk to get it fixed? Hour hand stuck at 12,but it's ticking

can anyone suggest a rugged sports watch for everyday wearing?

Try to look into official Citizen Service/Repair centres, it's a better bet to send your watch in to them for repair. Most service shops don't have the knowledge to work on one. I've had a Casio watch serviced and undergo a battery change at a Jeweller's, only to have them screw up, damage parts and lose the tiny alarm springFailFish

G-Shocks, look no further.

Try the 5600 model, it's compact and rugged, a classic. Browse the selections at the Bay and try some on. Their prices are jacked way up, so look for the model that you like, and buy online:toot:

So I bought this leather-strapped "GC" watch from The Bay about a year ago.

After a year of use (worn 3-4 days per week), the verdict is in: it's fucking awesome.

It wasn't cheap (paid ~$700 after tax) but it's definitely a quality timepiece. Swiss-made, and it's evident. No problems with the mechanics, battery, or strap.

I get complimented on it fairly regularly. Much more so than my other 2 watches which are more brand-name / slightly pricier. Very versatile (goes with any occasion/outfit), & the 44mm size is large but not flashy.

I've got no affiliation with the brand (as you can tell I mostly know fuck-all about watches), just a satisfied customer spreading the word. :toot:

anyone have a Daniel Wellington watch? How are they?

oh man nabs..that steinhart marine black anchor you posted got me drooling...the style i want so bad

Anyone need watch winders?
I've got a single winder and a double winder for cheap.
$10 for the single and $15 for the double. ;)

What kind?

Single: http://www.amazon.com/StarFive-Singl.../dp/B00GWQ0GNC

Double: http://www.amazon.com/Diplomat-Doubl...e+watch+winder

Where is a good place to order a steinhart? looking at the 47mm b-uhr. Gonna be my first nice watch lol.

In the past I've ordered from both the official Steinhart website and gnomonwatches.com

why is this thread gone from the fashion sub section? gotta search this up

planning to get a watch that is <$500 that is simple and clean and does not have a DW on the fucking middle of it

Because the default Display Options when you're on sub-forums is one month. Anything older you will need to change the parameters on the bottom to see it show up with the sub-forum.

O ok. Anyone have suggestions for <500$ watch?

get a seiko / citizen.

In that price range, just buy whatever looks good to you.

Yes, thats why i was asking which brand .... ill take a look at citizens and seiko. Oakridge best place im guessing?
