Any Watch Collectors here?

I feel you on the case size—smaller watches can definitely look out of place on a bigger wrist. I’m really into divers and pilot watches myself; they just have that cool, rugged vibe. I’ve got a Seiko diver that I love wearing—it’s got some weight to it and looks great with almost anything. Plus, I like the story behind Seiko; they’ve been around forever. What’s your favorite watch in your collection?

Hey there... I have a few that I love. I tend to how much towards a watch that I like the "looks" of, and how it wears on my wrist, over how much it cost me.

I have a Sottomarino Pro Diver that I bought about 6 years ago. This watch brand was exclusively distributed through a company called "Precision Time". Basically, a watch kiosk that could be found in malls. When Precision Time went out of business, the Sottomarino brand fell off the earth. That watch has so many memories for me, and I have yet to be able to find a watch that I like as much. It's BIG... 55mm case, very thick, heavy... but the band broke, and unfortunately, I have not been able to repair it.

I have an Invicta Grand Diver (Model # 28785) that looks like a Rolex Submariner Homage that I have been wearing a lot lately. It's got a 48mm case, screw down crown, and a Seiko quartz movement. Nice looking watch... but, I don't get the same compliments on it as I did with the Sottomarino.

I have a few expensive watches as well, but I rarely wear them.

I totally get the big watch thing, especially since you have bigger wrists. I’m into watch collecting too, there’s just something cool about having a unique piece. If you want a bigger luxury watch without the crazy price, check out brands like Panerai or Hublot, they’ve got some sick 44mm+ options.

I’m a huge watch fan myself and have a little collection. I was eyeing a Rolex forever, but it’s pricey. Found this website with solid replicas that look almost real, so I got one for way less. Perfect for trying the style without spending a fortune.

I'm gonna sneak in here for a question, hope you don't mind. I've got a Seiko watch, year old and I managed to scratch the face quite a bit along with a few pics. I think it's from using the trimmer without turning the watch around and crap has hit the face. Any idea what I can use to polish the scratches out, I know the picks won't be removed. I believe it has a sapphire or a hardex crystal.
