Agreed. Otherwise known as the Dracula watch, some spend far too much time in their presentation box coffin

bling bling initI 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

A customer phoned into work and asked for me but couldn't remember my name.
Just asked for "the wifie wi' the giant watch"
Just to set the records straight the Rolex I bought in Dubai is a genuine fake, cost me £20 and SWMBO wasn't amused
This was my father's watch, he bought it when I were a lad so it must now be almost 50 years old

It is nice. It resembles the "pie-pan" Omegas of the 60s and 70s.

I was talking to a bit of a connoisseur the other day about my FIL's Paul Jobin. He told me that back in the 60s it was commonplace for jewellers to buy movements "in the white" from Switzerland, case them, and put their own names on them. I suspect there is more than a grain of truth in that. The tell-tale for me is the wording on both your Dad's Tiara and the Jobin....stressing the watch is Swiss made, 17 jewels and Incabloc protected. Be interesting to compare the actual movements, and wonder which of the Swiss houses the movements came from.Just to set the records straight the Rolex I bought in Dubai is a genuine fake, cost me £20 and SWMBO wasn't amused

Edit: Scratch that perhaps, bit of googling suggests Jobin et Fils was based in Porrentruy.

This is my darling here.
Very hard to get, and Nigel O'hara wouldn't budge from their £600 price so i ended up having to import it and import duty came up to about £90 but it was still £200 cheaper than Nigel's asking price.
Either its an old model or it was a limited edition run. Casio do the same model in silver for cheap but this black one was calling out to my heart for almost a year before i bought it.
Maybe not as classy as your rolex's, Tag Heuer's & Breitlings but she is a beauty in my eyes and all the watch i will ever need.

It's a nice watch right enough but too much going on for me, I'd have to study it for 10 minutes before I knew what the time was
I like them easy to read

Each to their own I guess. Because the dial is black and the hands are white, the hands stand out in the light even if you just flick or tilt your wrist ever so slightly to check the time. Ive never had any problems with it anyway.
Day on the left, date on the right, 24hour clock on the bottom and the smaller dial on the right is for a second time zone.
I can understand why it may seem cluttered and has too much going on, but its rather simple compared to some watches that Citizen sell.
For instance
I mean if you 'Need' the Chronograph feature then fair play to you lol. I feel that my watch has very understated looks.
