Anyone into wrist watches?

[Reefsmoka]

I like a nice watch, though can't afford what I'd really like so have to shop sensibly. Though I can understand people paying thousands as they can be an investment.

I bought myself a Steinhart Ocean One in green the other day, cost me around £300 which is nothing for a decent watch really.

Here she is:



And my others which I got mainly as presents from upto 10 years ago:


From left to right: Nixon "Player" , Armani, Armani, Nixon "Ranger" and a Fossil.

I think I stopped wearing a watch about 15 years ago when I got my first mobile phone.

I too like to wear a decent watch now and then. Usually when I go out for a meal or a meeting etc/family doo's

While at home or working I don't wear one and haven't for about 12 years

Those though Sir, are nice..

I wear a Seiko gold ... I always wear a watch ... I know when it's Sunday when the day turns red.

Snap (From '96 onwards for me)

In fact I don't wear any jewellery at all, I don't like it.

Quad's fond of a good watch I think.

My wife has a Gucci watch that we bought in a market somewhere out East. It cost about $7.

If you look very closely at the Gucci name you can see that it actually reads "Cucci".

Strange thing is that it keeps perfect time.

In the good old analog times (when "profanity filters" were called "librarians" and "newspaper editors") this used to be a compound word...





The favourite of my watches (and no, I don't wear them anymore) was the good old Seamaster Polaris:

Casio £9.99 has lasted me only 3 years.
Do wonder if that's good value for money?

I wore watches non stop even at work (demolition at the time) from when I was around 15 upto when I was 25ish but stopped when I started at the scrap yard as its a very physical job which would probably destroy a watch in days. Always loved a good watch from seeing my old bosses Breitling and Rolex collection which was amazing to say the least. I'll have a Breitling one day, maybe not the Bentley to match though ;-).

I bought x2 Rolex's back in the late 90's in Hong Kong.
Only cost $20 and they did work for a year or two.
One got stolen, but it was the one that was broken!!!
