The "Tool" watch

The "Work" watches

The "Recently acquired" watch

Please keep all laughing to a minimum

The Rolex is going in for service soon. Gramps took a nasty spill recently while wearing it, hence all the scratches. Proud to now call it my own.

I guess no one gets the humor enough to leave a reply.

idoitsavant · 23 June 2007, 11:27 AM

haha relax dude! Folks need time to warm up to you!

Incurable · 23 June 2007, 12:22 PM

What! no Fossil? No poor man's watch collection is complete without one. The Guess will have to do I, er... guess.

astcell · 23 June 2007, 02:56 PM

Who owns these watches? Borat?

mikey · 23 June 2007, 03:54 PM

Well, you have a Rolex

No, really. I am just a modest man living in a modest home, driving a modest car, and working a modest job. Modesty and simplicity have lead me to a comfortable life yet so far.

Where's gramps now?

Earl · 27 June 2007, 04:08 AM

Hey didn't the most of us start out kinda like Brandon, I mean other than going out and buying from a AD he inherited this from his Grandfather so now even he has a Rolex.. Vintage is good and there is nothing wrong with it, hopefully there are good memories associated with the watch. It's a start Brandon :o)

Sorry to hear that man... my grandma had the same thing. My aunts took care of her until she died quietly while at the dinner table last year.

Take care of your grandpa's watch...

Congrats on the collection, esp. the vintage rolex

Welcome to TRF

just watch out for the WILD sheep

Alcan · 27 June 2007, 02:56 PM

Hi Brandon, sorry for the late welcome.

Your watch collection looks pretty good to me. I hope you're going to get your Grand-dad's Rolex redone and wear it proudly in his memory. That's how heirlooms become heirlooms.

nodnarb757 · 27 June 2007, 05:25 PM

I most certainly will do so sir.

Soon, I will replace the "tool" watch with a seiko I got a nice deal on.

Where's The Ben Sherman , 2 Bar WR

. Love That Rollie !!

mc1010 · 15 July 2007, 06:05 AM

yep, modesty if the way to go. simple life is the best life there is, less complications less problems. i'd kill for a simple life.

at least you have several watches. a year ago i only had one... a pre-owned jules jurgensen.

President · 15 July 2007, 06:21 AM

The Guess is rather nice...

I rather like it too. When I bought it new maybe 3 or 4 years ago I think it was about $140. Keeps excellant time and I love the scalloped dial.

Just got these two Seikos not long ago. I put a Nato on the orange Diver, but have kept the 6139 original. I opened up the back yesterday and was amazed at how clean the watch is. It was bought in 1972 and did not show any corrosion on the inside at all!

bezelman · 19 July 2007, 05:32 PM

what year is the Rolex?

nodnarb757 · 29 July 2007, 04:40 PM

Its hard to date it myself without a loupe, but it looks to be early to mid 1950's

pwcrulez · 30 July 2007, 06:30 PM

Nice.. and simple...

Upz for you for being modest...
