Who else here is a watch whore?
 
I love a nice watch, although I try to shy twords watches most people dont see all the time. I keep seeing Arcticreaver's Seiko pictures pop up top, which made me feel like asking this. Post up what you rock!

The one I currently have, I simply walked into a luxury watch shop and told him my requirements: smaller than a Citizen/Rolex (which are obnoxiously huge IMHO) and all titanium (I hate steel - too heavy). He pointed me to this one, and Im VERY happy with it.

Oceanus OCWP500TDA-1A1

A short list of features:

Auto-receives time-updates up to 6 times a day
Able to set it to time zones, rather than just "setting the time". Can have multiple quick time-zones set if I wish, and a base "home" time zone
Solar Powered
Case is pure titanium with a satin polish
Band is also pure titanium
Bezel has a titanium hard-coating on it
Sapphire crystal

Nice one, I went with a slightly different model of the same watch as MightyBobo. Mostly because I'm a tech geek that travels, and it's one of the few that had all the features I wanted, yet didn't look like a giant black rubber geeky calculator watch, if you know what I mean. This one is called the Oceanus Manta:

Same basic feature set: auto sets itself from atomic clock radio signals (US, UK, EU, and JP), knows about timezones and you can store basically a home and away zone and move the away one around and swap between the two quickly, solar powered (8 minutes of bright sunlight a day keep it going indefinitely, but it can go months in the dark too), titanium all over with a sapphire lens, etc...

These 'Oceanus' watches are actually made by Casio, it's just a sub-brand of theirs. Really good electronics in them.

Me too, big time watch whore:tiphat:

I have this one, as well as a 1950 Lord Elgin my Dad bought in Japan during the Korean war, back when a Lord Elgin was a $100 watch (that's in 1950 dollars :) It has been fully restored and looks and runs great. The Seiko is the everyday watch. It is Titanium coated and is actually a dark grey in color, not black, is actually the color of Titanium.... looks good with my PG 370!

Love the Seamaster. I have seen some unbelievably low prices on this during this recession, almost pulled the trigger a couple of times.

I like the Citizen watches. My old Citizen yacht watch is in the night stand, I wore that for 18 years. I prefer to save the money, and replaced it with a Timex Indigo, forty bucks!

i'm a seiko, citizen, and g-shock guy.

somewhere down the line, i'm going to try and find and restore a omega speedmaster 125. which is my favorite watch.
