When I first started collecting watches I went after the precious metals and bling.

After studying the art of watches, I realized that 90% of a watch's value is in the movement and various complications.

Obviously, if you can match precious metal and a fine movement then you have the best of both worlds.

That Lum-Tec is a perfect example of a great watch at an affordable price. I love it.
Is there a rundown of your collection anywhere on ts?

Lum-Tec is a great brand, and I really love both of these. The M-automatics are awesome watches, and fairly cheap if you can find them. Plus I have both of them but the M17 is already sold and the M16 will be up for sale again soon.

Lum-Tec M16


Lum-Tec M17
What do the push-buttons do on those pieces?

Love this Glycine... was a gift but I think it went for $1200-1500




Trying to be a little dramatic but pulled an h20

I really like the style of the M autos, I just wish they'd make a slightly smaller for skinny folks. 44mm is way too big for a metal watch on a 5'11" 10 lb guy like me.

Must be hard to find any watch that fits on a 10lb guy's wrist.

Dude, they are really not that big. I see little 5'6" guys pulling off Deep Seas, so you could more than pull off a 44mm watch. It isn't that tall either. DO it.

LOL! Supposed to say 160 lbs. Its the skinny wrists, not the height. I have an eco drive that is 41mm and its pretty big on my wrist. I'd have to try one in person before I ever even thought about it.

Well, when you get the C4S, I will throw it in as an extra.

Heh heh, hope you sell it before that. I've still got a move and some saving to do for the P car. Plus my wife might very well kick me in the balls if I buy another watch.
