Meister MSTR Watch Giveaway!

[sgouki]

I'll throw myself into this contest. I'm a pretty big watch lover like most people. What usually attracts me to a watch is not only design, but how it functions. I've had a few watches in the past. Started when I was about 7 years old with a Leonardo ninja turtle, rubber strap watch where the shell could conceal the time so you had to open it up. Very cool at the time. Then I moved to a few timex brand digital watches as I moved to the later part of elementary and onwards to high school as I liked the lap time features. I did a lot of sports so it was a huge asset.
My latest, most recent watch I purchased on my first year of university.

A tommy hilfiger watch. Kept that for over half a decade till it was stolen . Looked great, grabbed a lot of attention from it's red backing and it was unique amongst everybody.
I really like items that function well and have that pop effect. I've been on the search for a replacement for a number of years(no more watch tan line atleast) and actually came across Meister a few months back. Is it sold in the Underground clothing store? Pretty sure I saw one there. If not then it was another store but I remember walking by and the carbon fiber caught my eye. Really unique and incredibly stylish. I took the name down and have been reviewing them on and off against Seiko and entry Rolex's. I don't really frequent specific watch forums unless it has the watch I'm looking for.

I'd love for the opportunity to rock and support such an awesome looking line of watches and posting up reviews on fashion forums(who i don't actually post on) and my existing forums that have fashion sections. I think these watches look awesome and I'd probably buy one anyway for it's amazing presence. But it's got to be the carbon fiber face.

My ranking from most amazing to amazing is:
4, 2, 1, 3, 5 (But I would wear any one of those with pride. They are all really well developed)

May as well put in my entry....

I used to be really into watches when I was a lot younger until my dad gave me shit for getting so many then I stopped. After high school, he gave me his Rolex Datejust which I wore just about everyday up until 2 years ago. I lurk on the watch threads quite often and when I saw the Hublot F1 watch, I went on Youtube to see what the power reserve meter looked like in action. I didn't find it, but I saw some promo videos on the Tourbillon. After some discussion with rage2, I ended up buying a nice rep of one and retiring the old Rolex.

I'm certainly not the watch aficionado some of the members here are, but I really appreciate a well designed timepiece. For the most part, I really don't like watches just cause they look flashy or have an expensive price tag on them. I tend to like watches because of the mechanics behind them and designs that reflect the engineering behind it (that's why I have no interest in digital watches).

I've actually been wanting to building a rig just to photograph watches, but it's kinda pointless when I only have a few watches at the moment. Even if I didn't win any of the watches, I'd still love to photograph them!

Watches I own:
- Rolex Datejust
- Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon rep
- an Armani watch

It's a meager list, but I should have a few more to add to it by the end of the year if I can stop wasting my money on other things haha! Watches aren't like underwear. You should have at least a couple in possession so you can wear a different one everyday.

I only had time to do photos of my daily watch.









The watches in the order I like: 4, 1, 3, 2, 5


rage: since you have a direct line to the owner, any chance he'd listen to some design ideas?

flipstah, that seiko pepsi bezel with orange strap is sick and priceless, especially since it belonged to your dad.

Thanks.

It's definitely one of my favorites in my collection. It's sad that you're not keeping your Steinhart!

It's a beaut.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at his watch.
It is so big. [scoff] He looks like,
He could bludgeon someone with it.
But, you know, who understands those horologists? *scoff*
They only talk to him, because,
They want to know what time it is.
I mean, his watch, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
you could read it from space!
It's just all black!

I like big clocks and I can not lie
You other balla's can't deny
That when a guy walks in with a tickity tickity tock
And a watch as big as a clock
You get sprung, wanna act all tough
'Cause you notice that bezel was buffed
Under the cuff he's wearing
Hublot? I can't stop staring
Oh Baby G, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that watch you got makes me so horny
Ooh, alligator skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, wind me, wind me
'Cause I ain't got a battery
I've seen them flashin'
Flashy complications
Watches on Beyond
Got it goin' like a tourbillon
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' little watches are the thing
Take the average Beyonder and ask him that
Panerai or Patek?
So, Ballas! (Yeah!) Ballas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got a watch? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that auto watch!
Big Bang All Black!

I own a couple of Lum-Tec Tungstens (not a scratch still), 3 Seiko Kinetics, a Swatch Chrono, G-Shock and a Nixon Banks. Pics randomly strewn through out the Fashion and Luxury forum

Edit: looking at them more closely, I like the Commander (#2) the best. Then the Chief (#5) and the Diver (#1)

I had to sing part of the verse out loud to see how you got to fit the word 'tourbillon' in the song.

Needless to say, I got judged by passer-by's.

nah, spread the wealth. Writing shit like that is fun.

[max_boost]

that was a crayz effort by lint. nuts.

[ercchry]

Rage just needs to get Swat Team back together and produce that shit!

[lison]

I'm starting to be a young gentleman and being a gentleman one can only show youth and class through a watch they appreciate and represent. Oh and also I've been told about Meister way back by someone related to rage2 but at the time I was too young to appreciate the role of a classy gentleman. I did rock a few of their computer wallpapers before! Although I haven't posted in the watches forums yet, I believe it is time.

Why I should win: It's time for me to wear a watch that stands out in terms of creativity, class and uniqueness. Plus, I should get that watch replaced.

The models I'm interested in are: 4,3,1,2,5

Alright I'll bite and throw my name into the bag as well:

I'd like to win one to add to my watch collection; MSTR has some unique design features that set them apart from other watches in my collection.

My collection started when I graduated from High School; I received a Movado timepiece from my parents as a gift. Through university, I never really looked into a new watch until I was between my 3rd and 4th year on internship when I started to notice the unique watches my co-workers were wearing. It became a great ice breaker and really eased the "new guy" tension on the team.

During internship, I picked up a Tissot PR50 as a new daily watch. With the black leather strap and contrast red stitching, it was a sharp timepiece that I was proud to wear all the time.

After finishing my degree and doing more and more research into watches, I made my first purchase above the 3 figure mark and picked up a Breitling Chrono Colt. I was looking for a higher end quartz as a new daily watch that I could rely on.





Happy with my Breitling Colt as a daiily, I got my first mechanical watch the year after. Initially looking at an Omega Seamaster, I came across the Tag Heuer Aqua Racer Full Black at CJ and immediately fell in love with the design. The full black was a nice contrast to my collection of stainless watches. It's become my new go to watch as it keeps a low profile because of the full black look and fits perfectly on my wrist.



After returning from a half year stint in Houston, I came back to Calgary engaged to my girlfriend of 5 years. As an engagement present to me, she allowed me to pick a new watch as she knew how much I loved my watch collection. So the hunt was on and I almost pulled the trigger on the special edition Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th Anniversary. However, I've always been attracted to the Cartier Roadster. The unique shape caught my eye and the classic design of the face and strap drew me in further. Hitting up all of the major stores in Calgary, I stumbled across a great deal on a new Cartier Roadster Chrono which I promptly picked up.



I'm always on the lookout for unique watches to add to my collection, an MSTR watch would definitely find a permanent home in my watch box (I still have 10 spots available hah!).

Can't say I've made many posts in this section of the forum, but I've made a few (probably around 10 haha) here and there. Pictures aren't great either, but I've never really tried to take some good shots of them. Will have to practice up for the MSTR!

Watch Ranking: 5, 2, 4

[turbotrip]

I want the watch in the middle. Or maybe the right-middle one.
I dont have any watches right now because I cannot afford any.
I've got madd posts on watches in this section.

thx

[civic_stylez]

I never used to understand the whole watch phenomenon when i was younger. I couldnt grasp how anyone could drop $1000.00 let alone hundreds of thousands of dollars on something that does the same thing as a $40.00 timex. As I got older and had jobs at Ferrari of Alberta and Bentley of Calgary, I got to meet some amazing clients that had some absolutely stunning time pieces. I realized that a time piece is a defining piece. A watch makes a statement about what type of person you are. Sort of like rims on a car. From blingy, flashy wheels down to the 15" lightweight Japanese wheels. Its a defining item. Some fashion oriented, some function. Women are always checking out other women with handbags and shoes. For guys, its all about the watch. If you are lucky enough to know much about the VERY difficult watch world, its great to have conversations with other people about their watches. It would be my pleasure to display and discuss one of these great time pieces. Ive been fortunate enought to slowly crack my way into the watch world with a TW Steel Grandeur Tech. I also wear a Diesel DZ series watch.




All of the Meister watches are beautiful but my preference goes 2,3,4,1,5.
