I'm thinking about getting a tissot t touch. Swiss made, the minute and hour hands move around when you ask for the date, temperature, altitude and other things. I'd like to have a boss as Rolex but better to save money for drugs. Anybody have a sick ass watch?

i have two nixon watches one cloth band and one full metal band.

try some different styles on, depending on your wrist size/build/etc some watches will not look good on you, others will. dont necessarily go for one without looking at it in person first

Two-three hundred eurocoins can get you a nice classy vintage Omega.

Do you switch off telling the time or what? Does whoever wears it just have a megaphone and yells out the time?

Yup, we switch off every monthly meeting. Every hour, whosever turn it is for the month is required to exit their front door and tell everyone else the time through the megaphone.

I've allways liked tissots' watches as a 300-900$ piece, I have a victorinox now (great watch for around~500$). I'm saving eventually for a xetum ( sub 2000$ catagory). Even though Ilisted a few prices its wrong to look at prices, I've seen some great 150$ watches that look nicer than watches costing 10-15x that amount. http://www.xetum.com/swiss-automatic-watch/tyndall-off-white-dial/

If by Hublo you mean Hublot, I think I'm going to need some pics.

Personally, I think they are unbelievably ugly, but if you actually have one I can still appreciate and respect it.

how do you know if its 3 or 4 oclock?
i don't see the use of watches since we have phones that do so much more now.. unless it's super expensive and more of a jewel/flaunt piece

exactly what I think. If I ever did get a watch, it would only be if I was a rich bastard that wanted to look swanky with a bunch of diamonds on my wrist

I have 3 Nixon's (all broken from nothing, Nixon makes shit watches that look cool though). I wear those casually, they were gifts and such. I fly with a G Shock Aviation series watch with digital and analog time and lots of nice features. That thing is awesome.
