I think subs look good too, I'd probably look for a birth year (1974) model if I got one. There's one on eBay right now for $6250.

I think they look better without the bracelet...even though that's probably the best looking bracelet watch made.

I have my watch on a NATO and I don't call what I'm wearing an outfit.

Gold watches are ok for white women...for a man...just wear freakin stainless. Then again, I subscribe to the Billy Hoyle philosophy of style.

I have a gold bulova somewhere that I found in the bottom of my golf bag.

I have a 24k ancient pocket watch from my wife's grandfather that I really need to buy a chain for.

A few others as well, an old rolex, an omega that needs a lot of gelp, a ww2 german aviator watch, a few German watches, random stuff filling my side of the jewelry boxm

But my new favorite watch which I now wear nearly everyday is the cheap little $16 rubber casio watch I bought. I put a $60 20mm canvas band on it and it looks kind of awesome.

I know you swap your NATO straps to match your outfits

And don't pull Jason Isbell on me when you're trying to make a "it's more manly!" argument about color coordination

I want something like this. I will likely get a birth year (86) as well. Save some money since it would just be my sport watch, and have the cool aspect of it being as old as me.

I wear my watch on two bands only...the factory leather on a deployant clasp and a version of a James Bond NATO with black hardware.


That's it, the statement about no man should wear a gold bracelet was strictly a point of style...nothing to do with what's actually manly. I hate macho bullshite.

All of my extremely wealthy white friends rock rose gold Daytona's, Day-date's, etc. I would wear gold but I am poor compared to some of my friends.

If paired with a gold chain and gold bracelet, yes.


Don't forget about the pinky nugget ring.

I'm guessing the oyster probably didn't hold up for 42 years. Looks like they polished the case to remove defects, and I doubt you'd ever match a bracelet to that now...if the lugs could even hold one tight enough now. They look pretty worn.
