Suggestions on a Quartz Chrono?
After reading this site for weeks, I bought my first mechanical watch and it's a Mido Multifort ...mido.jpgNow that I have it, I think it's too nice to wear when I go fishing, hunting, yard work, etc....My current watch that I use for these activities is a Belair and I've had it for 10+ years...I want a stainless chrono with a sapphire crystal, unless there is something more scratch resistant and affordable($200...)The models I have looked at are the Orient Dyno, Hydraulics, and Speedway. Only the Dyno has the sapphire, but the face is a little busy for me..I am considering any Citizen and Seiko, but am open to any suggestions. Want to get the neatest nicest watch for the money!!I know that Hamilton is popular as well as Tissot, but by the time I get the sapphire, the price really seems to go up.Also, love all the photo's you all seem to have!! So, if you have any suggestions for some $200 ish chrono's, and you own them and have pic's I would love to see them!!!Valtyr has that nice Eco

SOTC - first one!
I've been here for nearly a year, and in that time my collection has grown quite a bit! Since it will be a few months before my next addition I thought that now would be a good time to do a State Of The Collection (SOTC) post. I have never done one before, so I'll just feel out how best to do it as I go along.I guess I might as well start with what got me to this point before jumping in to the watches. I remember getting my first watch when I was 5 years old. We were living in England at the time and my parents promised that they would buy me a watch when I learned to tell the time properly. Well, I learned around the time we went on a campervan tour through Europe, so while we were in Switzerland they bought me my first watch! I still have it in a drawer, the crystal is a bit scratched and it no longer runs and it doesn't have a strap any more, but it is still there.Through the years I always loved watches and took every opportunity to stare in shop windows at the watches. I got a Sei

One Of The Best AP Wrist Shots I've Seen!!!
My fellow TRF peeps, we see a lot of wristies during our travels but this one stands out as one of my favorites. That AP is a killer watch but the overall composition is really cool. Just thought I'd share it.

Anyone know if Piguet 1285 moments have overwind protection?
Just curious if my Blue AT (Omega cal 3301) has overwind protection or not...

5165 vs 5167 choice
Hello all, I am drawn towards the Aquanaut - but sadly local dealers do not have the 5167 in stock (and the 5165 is discontinued- but can be obtained used of course)If you own either, did you go through the decision proces by trying both on - and did you by any chance take a seperate shot of each watch on your wrist?I guess what is making the decision hard is that I prefer 40 mm watches for sports watches (Typically Rolex sub and 16600 SD) - but for dressier watches and shirt cuffs at work I prefer 38 mm.The Aquanaut would for me be somewhat of a combination between a sports watch but mostly a nicer dressier but still not too formal watch for work wear.Some wrist shots of me wearing 2 other watches - I was hoping it could help you give me some advice:New larger Sub (40 mm but wears slightly too large for me IMO)16600 Seadweller - also 40 mm but better appearance on the wrist:So what do you think, would the 5167 fill up too much of my wrist - or would the 38 mm 5165 be just that tiny bi
