Ryan, if you ever decide to part with it, LMK - I really wanted a VII, but was trying to track one of these down too. My daily beater is a more standard Orient automatic; they're solid everyday watches and seem to hold up about as well as my Seiko divers.

 

I have a Citizen I usually wear daily. It's a Nighthawk. I love it. Though lately I've been rocking my Hamilton I just got.

Today, I'm wearing the STi watch. I like it, just not enough to wear daily. One thing really bugging me is how 'notchy' the rotor feels.

I have a few Seikos I really like. Maybe I should start wearing them more.

p.s. memorial50 is still a valid code for 1/2 off any watch on Orient's US site. Though I should point out that it's an AD, not the actual Company.

Well, just got the credit card statement thru for the STI watch, with the awful yen exchange rate it came to $704.
A lot cheaper than the new in box Tag S/EL digital chronograph i was eying on ebay, thats how i'm selling it to myself

 

The Ducati watches are about the same, Till they went to a different maker. I bought a few to hand out to my mod staff for the holidays. I then went and checked up on buying a few more and found they are 5x the price and less quality.

Hold onto them if they are real. They could turn out to be a great investment.

 

That's why I just stick with G-Shocks. Simple and cheap





I still feel like I need more and more though

 

^ old school....

I wonder if that would survive the .50bmg percussion and shock. I know the last time I owned one of those. The 44mag ate one up. But that was back in 1985

 

I have a G-Shock that has survived multiple rallies, crashes (at least one at over 100mph) and all kind of other crap... just keeps going. It does need a new battery though.

$700 for an Orient? You crazy, dawg.

 

Cant argue with that, but the last time i bought a watch was 1997, so lets call it $50 per year for this one. Cheaper than the SPT heatshield i just bought from you guys on Thursday! Anyhoo, I needed something on the wrist while the TAG is in for its 5 year service/rebuild, but i'm liking it so much i might look around for the 2011 model as well.

 

I have a few years before my TAG goes in for service. I'll probably have the crystal replaced as well (stupid that it's plastic on the Monaco). I guess that's not too bad when you consider how long it has been since you bought a watch. Unfortunately I can't go more than a year or so without getting at least one.

How much is TAG's service? What model do you have?

 

Its a CG1110-0 S/EL chronograph, loved that thing since i was a kid hooked on F1 & Ayrton Senna, finally got the cash together for it in 97, i still remember buying it in Singapore airport duty free shop...
I figure the service will be ~300-350, well worth it to keep it running perfectly
found a pic of it here on some blog...
