Can anybody give me the names of any classic models of any type of watch? I like the look of the retro watches :D

Try Patek Phillipe, Vacheron Constantin, Ebel, Cartier, and Mattell. Maybe not the last one

Cool looking vintage go for Heuer. Monaco, Daytona, Camaro. Some Autivas and Carreras


IMO

Could you narrow it down to a decade you're interested in? Retro could mean anything from a Casio calculator-watch to a sundial.

Kinda dig some of those 70's Seiko's... Or even a Citizen Bullhead.

1956 Wakmann Incabloc Triple Date (I have 2 of the best examples of these rare beauties). Sorry - my photography sucks:

Thanks, Zoso. I love old watches and have many from the 50's and earlier.
I'll have to do a vintage thread soon.

+1 on the Citizen or Seiko Bullhead. You can find them for about $100-150 on the Bay from time to time. Here are a few of my vintages, all pieces from family:

Nice nickname - and I'd go Bulova Accutron (tuning fork), they're not going to make those again or rep them :)

Excellent taste, JellyJoe. That Tri-Compax is one of the all-time best chronograph designs. It looks like the product of a romantic night between a Speedmaster and a Daytona. And it speaks Spanish, too!

As for the 6241... just stunning.
