No joke the first thing out of my mouth was, “ohhh sh!t!?!” Thought it was a blue dial in the first pic! I love blue dials, but I’m damn glad it’s black! That thing is smokin’!

Well then it’s just a great dial then! I have a Halios that looks blue or black depending on the lighting! Sweet watch nonetheless! Made me laugh too. Watch pics can be hard no joke I always take at least 5 before posting here or sending to my watch buddy

Thanks. I saved up when I was young to buy it. Never leaves my wrist.

Really want to get a ‘50’s like this.

Awesome piece! Dig the sub second dial. My friend’s grandpa left him a vintage 60s Tiffany & co. Seamaster. Really cool watch! I think my favorite vintage Omega is the Pie-Pan Constellations. Gotta own one someday.

I’m a huge fan of vintage sizes. Omega is starting to come out with smaller diameter watches. Really hope more companies follow suit and start to reverse the crazy bloated watch trend that has been going on for far too long. All the coolest cats from back in the day we’re rocking sub 40mm (and really more like sub 35mm) watches. That understated cool!

I cannot be held responsible for any purchase made here. I bought an Eterna Kon Tiki about 10 or more years ago here. I occasionally take a look for goodies.

Cool Vintage Watches

All this vintage style talk made me want to break out this guy. I bought it to dip my toe in the vintage pool to see if it was my style. I hope to own a nice vintage piece someday. Maybe an Omega or Longines

My Grandparents gave me this when I was 12 (1982)
Wear it rarely, but still pretty cool.

A classic that should be worn. Perfect for a 50 year old.

Seiko Quartz I got on my 18th birthday from my parents back in 1982.
Needs a battery.

So I've been wanting a watch with a built in compass for when I'm hiking, camping, playing disc golf. I don't want to break the bank on one since it probably won't get worn more than a weekend a month. So I've been looking at Casio SGW-100s.

Does anybody have experience with them or a suggestion on something diffrent that would fit the bill? I don't really want a smart watch and want to keep it under $100.

Sharp looking watches, like the style.
