What Watch do you Wear?

[Sydney_Iron]

I like a nice watch

My current regular wear is a White Dial Omega Seamaster 300M on the black rubber strap, IMO the best-looking affordable luxury watch on the market, also have a Spring drive Grand Seiko for more formal wear that is the bollocks as well, superbly finished and just oozes quality.

Bought a Rolex Air King 126900 recently, its the most unique from the brand, the only one with the green and gold Rolex colours on the dial, the only one with no variants like the other models have, the Submariner, Date Just or Daytona's etc that have multiple variations, beautiful piece IMO that looks stunning.

What's your Watch of choice?

Bet it looks the bollocks outside your mud hut in the poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border 

How much do you want to bet, triggertrans?

I was asking how much you'd bet, not how much you were prepared to pay (but didn't) for your cripple tree activities.

Anyhow. This thread is about time pieces. If you want a thread focused on me, create one if you have the alberts. Nailed on it will match that of Bosnia Hammer fame.

I don’t bother and haven’t for about 25 years. My phone tells the time and I’ve always hated any jewellery or trinkets round my neck wrists or fingers. 

A watch is purely functional for me and I’ve got no use for one. If I did it would likely be a 10 quid Casio or something. Couldn’t care less about having anything flashy at all 

You'd definitely be safe in London.

I've got a smart sun-dial me.

Shine a torch on it and it works 24 hours a day.

Could probably rebrand it (and make a fortune) as "Dial", or maybe "Torch-dial" for the geeks among us.

Not really into watches and jewellery as not a poser 
Did have rolex years ago just didn't wear it so sold it to mate
Another reason is l cycle off road so watches and jewellery not suitable but have bought a Garmin smartwatch which is used more for hikes

[Tomshardware]

CASIO G shock.

[Mike Oxsaw]

I prefer to go old school and sack barrow around with me my Greek marble sundial as the ultimate statement timekeeping piece. Try nicking that in a hurry mother fuckers!

Bright orange retro Casio as I like to leave the Nokia brickphone at home. I have a good watch but the battery needs replacing and I can't be arsed to send it off to Switzerland for £200 or whatever it costs now. Being seen with these expensive things doesn't seem important to me anymore.

I'll do this for you for nothing mate. It's a hobby of mine. Obviously I'm not insured so if you want me to do it in front of you, that's fine. I can give it a basic service at the same time.

Nothing screams more that you've got ADHD or Alzheimer than wearing a watch.

Glance at the kitchen clock as I leave the drum and I'm done for the day.

[Mad Ferret]

Have a Patek Philippe Nautilus that I save for special occasions.

My everyday watch is a Hublot Classic Fusion.

I’ve had a Sekonda for years which I wear every day . I also have a watch I inherited from my dad . He was given it for his eighteenth or twenty first by his dad . So around 1948 or 1951 .I had to pay a small fortune to get it running properly but worth every penny . I was probably ripped off tbh but hey ho . The thought of looking on a phone for the time astonishes me , but I’m an old git . I never leave home without a watch on .

Don’t wear a watch the use being uneccessary with the current technology available because I am never without a phone.

I don’t wear any jewellery either but I can understand why some people have expensive watches as an investment.

[Swiss.]

Rolex blue dial. Retail 8K but I got one 2nd hand for 2K. 

[Niblets]

Got a couple of Tag Formula 1's for everyday wear, just gone out and got a new Breitling SuperOcean 46 as well. A lot more to be got if you buy second hand but I don't buy them as investments.

[WHU(Exeter)]

Vostok, a Russian one, less than a hundred quid, but I love the design and have been asked a few times at airport security abroad what make it is.

[zebthecat]

None.

I don't bother spending much on watches or sunglasses anymore.

I've lost and broken way too many.

Bit like your brain as well

I’ve got an Air King and a GMT II (black with black). Is yours the newer Air King with the ‘05’ face?

I want a Milgauss.

i recently bought one of the swatch/omega collaborations which I wear pretty often.

 

Yes mines the latest Air King with the "05" the previous model just had "5" 

the Milgauss is a strange one, not sure if i like it or not, got discontinued a few years ago which saw its value got up quite bit, think the previous Air King had the same movement and case of the Milgauss? The newer Air King i have has the same movement, crown guards and oyster bracelet as the Submariner, it's almost a totally different watch.

Love the GMT 2 though, the Batgirl would be my choice if i ever get one

I bought my Air King maybe 3 years ago, at the time I put myself down for the Batman GMT 2. Heard nothing for ages so i sent them an email complaining .............. and then got a call a few weeks later to say my watch was ready.
bought the watch on the saturday morning, went down to burlington arcade and sold it for £2k more than i paid.

[Far Cough UKunt]

I had a fake Rolex, bloody good watch it was.

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

Can people put the prices on these?

Plus where you live & when you are next likely to be walking down a dark alley late at night.

Am wearing a FitBit …. £120 or thereabouts I think
