Watches

[Dusty Chalk]

I haven't found a local dealer that carries Nixon yet. I've tried the various ski shops that their locator reveals, and they're all either closed, or they're farther than I've had a chance to go yet.

That said, I'll probably buy an all-black "Rocker" sight unseen, and move up from there. And I'm also going to ask my housemate's sister whether or not she ever goes into Barney's (she lives in NY).

Cool, very nice watch. I was thinking of getting the same one, but it's not water resistant so it's a no go. Now I am thinking of getting the "The Block" as a work watch or something I can beat up and not feel bad.

Anyway, post pics when you get it.

here is a cheap and crappy skeleton with tourbillon watch from ebay.

I wanna buy one just to take the movement out of the case and watch it for hours, given that the tourbillon actually rotates like it should. Tourbillons are badass to watch, you can watch them for hours almost.

Anyone live in New York? I need someone to go to Barney's for me...

[Dusty Chalk]

Never mind, they posted it online:

Barney's/Nixon collaboration

Ordered, waiting.

I've actually seen one in person -- they had it at a store in Georgetown. It's gorgeous. And huge.

I will still probably collect some of the Nixon all-black collection, but this will be the cornerstone piece.

Hey Dusty

What does the crown at 8 do?

[Dusty Chalk]

(shrugs)

I don't know.

Here is more information about the 51-30, of which this is a special edition.

Nice watch Peter, I like it.

[apnk]

Nice watch man!

[bhd812]

the sub dial on the face is to tell you if either a high or low tide is in action and when each should go in or out. the crown at 8 is to set the sub dial (adjust the Tide dial).

i never seen a outside bezel count down, usually it counts up. 47mm is a big ass watch!

[Dusty Chalk]

47mm is a big ass watch!

It is. People are going to ask me what time it is, and I'm going to hit myself in the face just from sheer momentum.

Looks out of stock everywhere.

I did find this one for dusty: Amazon.com: Invicta Men's II Collection Square Skull Black Technofiber Watch #4590: Jewelry

And if I weren't broke, i'd be all over this:

There is a part of me that actually likes that watch, but I like the one you posted for yourself more. Except for that huge fucking knob. What is that, a doorknob? I know it's a "look", but I guess I'm just not the target market for that look.

Billy, it's back in stock as of today, and there's a $99 one at amazon if you search on invicta skeleton (without the lizard strap, I think).

[Dusty Chalk]

I renamed this topic, since it's long since gone beyond just Fossil brand watches.

[Dusty Chalk]

You know, the more I look, the more I think I need want a skeleton, and Invicta seems to be the way to go with skeletons, and this one appears to be the closest to my tastes -- is that the Russian Diver one that's just north of US$800?

Yup

[n_maher]

that huge knob, especially the chain, is just awful.

Agree, 100%, it kills what is otherwise a pretty cool watch. For me at least.

Shouldn't you be drunk and partying with the boss's wife?

Home already, not drunk, have to work tomorrow.

That's what I thought initially -- I mean, you could garrot a barbie doll with that chain -- but after some serious consideration, I think the rest of the watch outweighs that minor infraction. I mean, did you see the filigree/inlay/whatever on the "face" of the watch? It's gorgeous.

I ordered the silver skeleton Invicta i linked earlier in this thread today. thanks to Dusty for giving me the idea of going to amazon. i hope they ship it cause it says it was out of stock on shopnbc but not on amazon...i will find out in a few days though.

of course if i do get it then you know you all will see pics.

[Dusty Chalk]

"Silver"? Oh, you mean the other one on the watch you linked to -- because the link you gave us was a gold watch (as primary).
