Of Bikes and Watches....

Just a couple of photos of my Seiko's to bump the thread alive ;D I have a thing for 1960's Seiko's ::)

Like that diver!

Just got this one two months ago -- 1970's Patek Golden Ellipse. Probably the only Patek I'll ever get to own!

This topic could be dead in the water, but I thought some may appreciate my latest purchase.

I wear a Mondaine Swiss Railway watch. I love it. I get compliments on it almost every day.

$200 VERY well spent. I've had it 6 months and the face has absolutely no scratches. I was worried I'd ruin it pretty quickly... Only down side is that the leather band stinks from soaking up sweat...
 
that Modaine is really clean!

time keeping and motos just go together, from the first powered transport the first thing to know is how fast will it go!
i make wrist watches for a living, this i one that moto inspired.

Necky, your watches are beautful! I'm excited to see your "upcoming" marine watches, as I am a ship captain and avit sailboat racer!
 
Just found this thread and it is very interesting. I say that because I have an unhealthy obsession with wrist watches, never can own enough. My current daily wrister is this Jacob Jensen Chronograph.

I've had a Nixon Murf for a few years and have enjoyed it. Maybe it's just a POS compared to all your watches, I have no clue, but I've enjoyed it.

Somehow just saw this thread. I have a thing for watches myself.

This is my 2008 Tissot MotoGP Limited Edition (came with a yellow band, I ditched it for the black).

Wittnauer, black face, diamonds for numbers, the first watch I bought myself. (And, my mother told me I was nuts for spending $750 on a watch.)

Been a watch fan for a while and although my tastes may vary from others I really like my citizen eco-drive watches. No replaceable battery and charges itself while I am out riding. Plus the slide rule helps while I fly, only had to use it once thank heavens.

Necky,

I see on your site you make watches with vintage IWC movements. Which movement, and what would one of them run me?

Thanks in advance

My mom got me a Nixon for Christmas one year. I still have it 6 years later, works fin and I have been really hard on it.
 
I, too, love mechanical watches! My wife just bought me a new Steinhart Nav B Uhr for Christmas this year. It's the quality of $1-3k watches for $500. 17-jewel Swiss Unitas ETA 6497 movement (found in Panerai, IWC, etc.), sapphire crystal, see-through caseback, etc. I love it.
