[Yazzoo]

Ooh I do like watches! Hard things to photograph though!

This is my everyday watch, I also have a Garmin FR235 for running etc

 

[Cubist]

I seem to remember upthread I said I might treat myself to a Breitling as a retirement present to myself?
Nah!

Everyone has the time on their phones, why bother with a watch? Unless it's expensive in which case it can be worn as a fashion accessory.

The watches in this thread look cheap and tacky.

You're shitting me right?

Here's my Casio calculator watch. Not original 80s (I got it in 2012-ish), but my bit of retro geekery.

Yes, it's on my right wrist. I'm left-handed.

I'm also a Leftie but wouldn't dream of wearing a watch on the wrong wrist. Even with a calculator.

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

Leftie here.
Left wrist always.

Nice bit of retro incidently on the Casio.

 

[subaqua]

this is what mine looked like brand new. it is a little bit more worn than this now having done a lot of dives with me.

Citizen C900 if anybody wants to look up the details.

Nah!

Much nicer than a Breitling in my humble opinion.

I'm also a Leftie but wouldn't dream of wearing a watch on the wrong wrist. Even with a calculator.

Accident and resulting knackered wrist means I've been wearing mine on the 'wrong' wrist for 30 years. When I first had to switch at 16 it took me months of looking at the wrong arm and wondering where the watch was!

I don't have any posh watches as I tend to accidentally break them.
Mr M bought me this contraption (not exactly what I wanted) for my last birthday.
Upside it it's virtually indestructible and so gigantic I won't lose it. View attachment 105694

Mr M has assumed ownership of the "contraption"
My wee collection comprises of a replacement (blue baby g)
A lilac baby g (discoloured so I stuck it in the dishwasher to no avail)
Plus a wee Ellesse watch I bough about 16 years ago in a sale for £120 (looks tiny)
Just use the clock on my phone, always accurate

Was it a dishwasher endorsed by the maker?

Was it a dishwasher endorsed by the maker?

No, but it still works
I was secretly trying to kill it to justify a new one

Was digging through a drawer of forgotten bits and pieces the other day and found my late Father-inLaw's watch. A Paul Jobin dating back to the 60s. 17 Jewels, gold plated case, Swiss mechanical winder. Needs a decent strap, but Cubester has claimed it as a dress watch. Nice thing, wish I'd taken a pic of it, but here's a link to one on eBay

The Fragrant MrsP bought me a new 'everyday ' watch from Seattle last week. A MINI branded quartz piece with rubber strap, not expensive and it was on sale but I'm rather taking by it.
