Well...

I'm thinking of letting go of some of my 14 watches. The ones who dont see the sunlight no more. I'm in the need of a new watch. I miss my DJ terribly. The one's that are staying are: The Mido, Tissot, Seikos, Invicta, Sandoz, Omegas, and the Benrus. The others are leaving... The Citizen Aluminum, Bulova, Casios, Swatch, and Nautica... I really want something new... but it has to be Swiss...

Any Recommendations?

Hey, Gaby.Look into Fortis, a swiss brand, been around for a while.Very good value IMO

JJ Irani · 7 May 2010, 04:07 AM

My first proper swiss watch was an Omega seamaster quartz mid-size, i got it when i was in highschool, its the best bang for the buck, looks timeless and is a SOLID watch, that i still wear from time to time even today.

Well, it will have to be a used one... but not a bad Idea!

Puffy · 7 May 2010, 06:48 AM

I have a Seamaster, love it. Or look for a Speedmaster. Another classic that should form part of every WIS' collection

Mike B · 7 May 2010, 10:34 AM

Make that another vote for an Omega Seamaster.
Perhaps a little more pricey than what you'd want to get, but save for a little longer, and it WILL be worth the wait, TRUST me !!

Thanks for the input, Guys!

Ulysse Nardin maxi marine diver watch is so nice. Have you seen thos I saw one for sale on the forums here. Please take a gander at that bad boy. I have always been a Rolex guy but that watch has some serious presence.

Kapture1 · 8 May 2010, 03:05 AM

Look at vintage Gaby. 12 to 16 hundred. consolidate that collection of yours and upgrade and get yourself a vintage DJ.

mailman · 8 May 2010, 03:35 AM

Not sure of your budget Gaby but Hamilton makes some nice watches. They're reasonably priced too

mikea · 8 May 2010, 03:48 AM

Any seamaster or speedmaster if budget permits. If not, how about a longines hydroconquest or maybe an oris

datejust1 · 8 May 2010, 07:42 AM

Thanks, Guys! KEEP THEM COMING!

mpkRolex · 8 May 2010, 09:33 AM

Have a look at Orient Mako. It is non-Swiss but I love it. It is like a tank and very much tool watch with day and date.

Psmith · 8 May 2010, 11:42 AM

Gaby - look at ORIS as well - great value ...just ask Greg!

Cheers

mikea · 8 May 2010, 12:31 PM

gaby,

any specifics on what your looking for...dress watch, dive watch, dial color, etc...

Deyn Man · 8 May 2010, 08:26 PM

how about prometheus for something different

gaopa · 8 May 2010, 11:08 PM

How about a Lum-Tec? Here are my three M series L-T watches. These are quartz, but some of the M series watches are automatics. Cheers, Bill P.
