Dang...that's a low blow. Is there no shame!
:whatever::youllpay::blkeye:
:wall:NEVER,EVER,EVER, NEVER open a watch/gun/ammo/pen/gear related link... unless you have tons of excess cash. It only leads to disappointment, hatred of the OP, and envy.
Coffee guy may be earning some hate in the near future, or replacing all the batteries in my watches as an apology. (that would be more expensive than free java for 6 months)
I'm an expensive guy to know. 
first order of the day: sell quartz watches on watchrecon to fund purchase of automatics. See, no batteries needed!
I got my orient 300m off there, it's crazy good quality for what they cost. It's worth triple.

So I could trade my TAG KV6500 (collector's piece now, worth much more than I paid) and my Wenger Swiss Special Troops to trade up to a new auto? hmmmmm.... My first gen Citizen Eco Drive might raise some fair cash too...
NOW... I hate you even more.
I found the watch I always wanted on there. Didn't realise it was limited edition LOL

My commission is 7%.
I've always loved the B42 Flieger Chrono in white, and I'm not a flieger OR chrono guy:
Hahahah!
Seriously, I'm not sure I'll ever buy a new watch again. IT's a group of odd ducks who buy and flip watches at a loss like I change underwear. Usually it's at least 20-30% off, even in mint condition with plastic stickers still on it. Weirdos, but I like it.
I own a couple of Citizens (one I bought back in 1999 and the other a Blue Angels that I bought back in 2003) and a couple Bulovas (one an automatic mechanical and the other one is a precisionist). I wear the Bulovas as my daily watch choice. I love my Citizens, especially the Blue Angels, but IMO the Bulovas are better quality for damn near the same price.

I bought a Shinola Runwell 47mm with the center dial for seconds. If you want an American Watch they're not too steep on their low-end. Either another Shinola for me or a Citizen next, watches like Tattoos become addicting.
I have Antoine Preziuso taste on a Timex budget.I'm no movement whore, but the Precisionist is a cool movement. I usually find bulova's not to my taste, but this Accutron is gorgeous. I love dual crowns and internal bezels:

I agree with love of Citizen Watches. I have two. One is similar to your Blue Angels; it is a WR 200, Eco Drive, Radio Controlled, Sky Hawk. The other Citizen is also an Eco Drive, WR 100, Stars and Stripes, America's Cup, with the America's Cup logo on the back. The rest are Seiko's (2), Casio's (3), and a couple of Timex watches. The only watch I have had trouble with was a Seiko Chronograph that had a coil fail, and there were no replacement coils to be found.
I am a watch whore.
That is all.
That is all.

I have time to kill while I am at work, and came across a DIY for a paracord watchband. Have any of y'all tried making a watchband, do you wear one or would you wear one? I found a couple of websites where you can buy them and they sell for 2 and three times the price of a normal banded G-shock. I currently wear a G-shock and have a spare one that I could make a band for.
Starting the process now.

I pulled the trigger today on the JDD. I sold the USMC GSAR a few months ago. I found the best price on EBay and used the 6 months same as cash deal. Just over a grand shipped. Fuck it! I deserve it! Still not as expensive as the Tag Aquaracer I bought in 2008 as an atta boy for getting a promotion. That one is gone too.
My new watch arrived today. It is a Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day Date) The rubber strap was too short for me. I had this 22mm maroon 4 Ring NATO that worked great. This is my fourth Marathon watch. I had two different GSAR's the second was the USMC branded watch and the first was a standard GSAR with the sterile face. Both have been sold. The third is a Quartz Navigator Pilots Watch. It is a great watch.
I like the JDD because he dial is big and clean. It is easy on my aging eyes. The only thing I don't like is how easy the bezel turns. Time will tell if that's a real or a perceived date issue.
