Bulova Marine Star.

Nice watch Hartage, I have looked at those.

 

I'm all for the more traditional plain face, manual wind, mechanical movement - I hate batteries in watches! This is the one I have on my wrist, but I have bought others from this company. They also ship to the states...
It's one of the owners own creations -the Rlt 33 "Railroad" from "Rlt watches"

Timex ironman triathalon with a band i made from black 550 cord and a snap buckle.
cheap and works

 

Don't really care for watches on my wrist, always loved the pocket watch, and yes people do look at you funny when you wind them.

 

Thanks, the watch fits with my general philosophy on items. Expensive enough to get worth while features to ensure performance. Cheap enough to still get a good bang for buck ratio.

Nice Bulova, sounds like it has a hefty price tag.

 

I had a Rolex - got rid of it as it was like putting a diamond on a pig, especially here in Pahrump.

I love my Citizen Eco-Drive!

 

Nothing fancy but gets the job done Casio G-Shock.

 

Dont have the pics but I wear a Casio data bank digital watch with auto light that turns on when the wrist comes up or can be togled off and it stores phone numbers and such, and is water resistant to 50 meters. Cheap enouph I dont cry so much if it gets busted or something.

 

Another Tag..

 

No time pieces on this wrist! I did have a pocket watch I was quite fond of once, though. People really look at you funny when you're female and pull out a pocket watch .

(I'd prefer a wind-up watch but those are getting rarer than hen's teeth these days and finding a jeweler to work on one reliably right along side.)

 

Here's mine, but it isn't on my wrist as much right now.

Pulsar Tech Gear with flip up magnifier.

 

Cheap Timex

 

My Dad works on fine watches; he needed a hobby so he went to Switzerland several times to study under watch makers. One day, I'll inherit his collection and never again wonder what time it is.

 

I've sold the big boys before but as for me nothing beats the G-Shock. Virtually indestructible and leaves plenty of money for other things.

 

Personally I've never carried or worn a watch. There are clocks everywhere if I want to know the time and when I'm out in the woods where I want to be, I dont care to know what time it is. As for use as a compass there are many other ways to get direction. Time is a measurment that man has placed on himself.
