I'm a watch junkie and I found this cool collection of Triumph-branded watches while browsing for something new to add to my collection. I think I'll get one of the T100 models...

Check around, shopnbc, ebay, etc. I got one at shopnbc a few months back for under a hundo- same as your site is showing for $279.
Quality is real good.
Even the ones on Ebay for 2cents plus $18.00 shipping are surprisingly decent.
I'm a watch head as well...you should see the one I have with a little golf ball that acts as the second hand. :hammer:
:-D

Yep. Motorcycles and watches, my two favorite indulgences. We're talking indulgences here, not vices. Vices are on a different list.

Very cool!
I'm a bit of a watch geek myself - 4 Russian, a Swiss and an Icelandic with Swiss movement.
I would like to see a Triumph watch with a face like the gauges on my Thunderbird - instant sale, even if it's quartz.

I'm beginning to get worried about you TBA, does it go put put put ? :-D
Well I didn't think I was a watch freak but I have a Russian Army one, a French one with the Chinese year signs in Chinese language, a fake Rolex, a Seiko diving watch, a Seiko digital and a gold Omega I bought when I was 18 (duty free in Aden).

Ride on !

Cool. Watch junkies. I picked up a Hamilton Khaki on Grand Cayman when we went on our cruise. That made number 12. I have 3 automatics (2 Swiss and one Russian but built on a Swiss movement purchased by the Russians back in the 70's) with the rest being quartz movements divided along Japanese and Swiss lines.
My parents bought me a pocket watch for my 50th birthday. It's a Japanese quartz movement but the watch cover is unique in that it has an embedded 1921 Liberty Head Silver Dollar coin as the major part of the cover structure. Time and money.
My ultimate affordable watch is an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Big Size Chronometer in steel with the blue dial and steel bracelet. Simple. Elegant. A classic mans watch with no complications to clutter the look.
Money no object? Shoot, an IWC Pilot or a Zenith.

Here's another source for a Triumph branded watch...
CLICK HERE
$79 is a lot better than $249. I've been to the Thompson Cigar store in Tampa and I've bought from them online; always had a pleasant transaction.

I got my first automatic watch this winter. Caffeinated's blog had some great entries that played a part in deciding to buy it. It's a collateral appreciation to motorcycles; high-quality, fascinating design and engineering that you can use on a regular basis. It's got a leather band, so I'd really rather restrict it to winter wear; I don't want sweat doing anything to the band. So now I'm keeping an eye out for a can't-pass-it-up deal on a metal banded automatic.
