Seiko V with a "bond" NATO strap - Bond uses the strap in Spectre, I can't recall when it was first used in the series but not often.
Or, it's me lake swimming, training for the Hever Castle triathlon.
Depending on what the question was

This is what I wear when I'm out on the bike. It does the job and I'd break anything more expensive.
Had several Casio G-Shock watches prior to this - the watch part is near indestructible, but the straps consistently failed within a few months of the guarantee expiring and the cost of a replacement makes buying a new watch a sensible option.

Apparently people get hooked on them and end up with huge collections.
I bought the strap seperately at monkeyswag

Here are Three of my Smith's Deluxe watches showing different degrees of wear. They should all be gold plated.
The centre one is my latest I got at an auction, it is waterproof with a snap on back.

Whilst going through the rest of the watches that I bought at the auction,I discovered this one lying in the bottom.
Jaquet- Droz Who? I thought, never heard of it. I searched it on the internet, Oh dear!
My first thoughts were that it was real and then they changed to it's probably a dear copy.
Now I am back to thinking that it is genuine. The style of case points to a 70's model and is made of stainless steel.
The hands and the position indicators show signs of age. I managed to take the back off and found that it has an ETA 2789 movement. I discovered that these were made from 1969 to 1976 so would fit with the style of watch.
The watch does have a problem although it winds and the automatic works it is only the second hand that moves, so something is out of mesh or slipping.
