Okay I'm into watches again. Post your favorite models

These are two of my favorites. The GV2 is a limited edition. I won it as a prize in a golf tournament. The Luminox is the 3000 / 3900 series.

Both of these are sweet. I dig the looks of the black Luminox. But from what I saw on their site they're all quartz watches and I'm kinda done with quartz watches.

My Mom gave it to my Dad for an Anniversary present, before my Dad passed he gave it to me.
It's never too dressy and it's always dressy enough, Mom had good taste!

Your mom had GREAT taste and your dad was a lucky man.

But I can't find that model now less than $339.99. Last week I was looking at some for $250.

You're not worried about buying a fake off of Ebay?

No. Look at feedback. Check what you get. Dont buy a rolex for 20 bucks. Etc.

Dammit, you mean I can't buy a Rolex for $20?

LOL. you actually CAN. Of course, the odds of it being real... I bought a Movado for .I dunno 30 bucks I think, about 15 years ago. I was still a watch larvae back then. Fortunately, with eBay and PayPal and a visa/mastercard. if you get a fake you can get your money back. The risk is nowhere near as bad as people think. Caveat emptor. CYA and all that and shop without fear. Last year I bought a Mont Blanc pen at a hell of a bargain. When it never showed up I opened a claim and PayPal put the money back on my credit card.

By the way, since we are talking about eBay... do any of you guys wear glasses? I do and I HATE trying to find sunglass covers for them. Or I DID, until I found these on eBay,

$1.49 shipped. Yes, from China. Can't even find them at $10 at WalMart or other stores anymore.

What I didn't like about it was the band it came with. It didn't last long. I got the band that is on it at a gun show. Can't remember the name of it.

I've read too many reviews of Luminoxes where the bezel marker fell out or other places they've been weak. My Tritium canister watches are Reactors. I have a reactor MX with silicone strap for walking the dog or going jogging and I have a Reactor Gamma Titanium with the Never Dark(luminova AND Tritium) for the fun of it.

The MX:
No luminova on dial but 14 Tritium canisters.

The Gamma: Only 6 canisters but triple deep luminova on the dial and hands.

Borrowed pics from internet but same as mine...ok maybe prettier. Mine get worn.
