$2000 Paper weight

"I don't do watches or any other type of jewelry for that matter, makes me feel binded down.....but if I did, it damn sure wouldn't be $2,000."

Amen brother!

Got new from my dad in 1984 - kept perfect time until 2010. Had refurbished & still going strong.
The only time it's been off my wrist for more than a few minutes was when I sent it away. I bang it around pretty hard & even run it through a commercial dishwasher from time to time to clean it. Try that with a Swiss Army...

I have been wearing my SubMariner for 20 years, never missed a beat. Thinking about passing it on to my son, he is 20 and I catch him eyeball'n it every now and then

That's what I should have gotten. I almost did and bought the Tag

Diesel Watch

You have really small hands, huh?

Sorry to hear. My last Tag battery change on an Indy Chrono cost me ~$175.

I own several watches, but for about 4 years now, this thing's left my wrist about 10 times.



Wish it were still this shiney.

I took my watch off a couple of years ago, and havent missed it yet.

G Shock end of story!

I will say its a great looking paperweight though.

RipCurl Ocean Tech. Havent taken it off in 2 years, Dive with it, hunt with it, fish with it. Doesn't even have a scratch on the screen. I had 2 Nixons prior to this one and they lasted all of 3 months.

This man has the best reply I've seen in this thread. I'm currently wearing a Ripcurl tide watch (Oceanside I believe, but I can't remember) that I bought 11 and a half years ago. 20 bucks and free shipping when the battery goes every few years, but well worth it. It's about time for a new one though I do believe.

I really like the Tag SEL watches. The old thin style

Nice watch dex! On my list when I decide to upgrade.

If you're looking for a tough watch, the deal today on Gearhog looks like it may be worth it. 66 bucks for a military issue digital compass watch.

Considerably less in 1999 than it is now. Im like USMC SILVER hasn't left my wrist since I got it. its @13 yrs old and been serviced once. I expect it will outlive me if serviced correctly.

My dad has a beautiful Rootbeer GMT that was purchased in the late 60's or early 70's and it's never been serviced.

One day, that watch'll be mine.

Nice Sub, CC.

I have been wearing a Luminox for several years, and it has performed well too. Much less expensive than some of those other brands. Replaced the rubber strap once but that was my fault it got broken in the first place. Has the tritium glow inserts that light the hands and numbers too, so its always glowing.

This! Pure rugged functionality without the yuppie bling look to it. 9 Years on mine so far without a glitch.

A dishwasher, you brave!

Luminox has been the brand on my wrist for the last 5 years. Great watches.

My word at the fancy fellas we have on here.

The day I spend $2k on a watch is the day you all can have me committed.
