That's what I said in post 3 of 'TRUMP Oh my fucking god'.
Great minds think alike.
I like that one Roy. My very first wristwatch, at about the age of 8, was a Timex.Quote:

So it would seem we starred off in the same direction, though ten years apart. :)
I would have gone on to say that the make of all my watches ended with "-ex", but that would be wrong, as I also had an Accurist watch when I was a teenager.
My first watch was a Timex, too! I still have it somewhere in a tin. I will try and find it, it has no strap, though.

DUXOT is a name new to me Roy. Where are they made?
I quite like it.
Don’t know much about them, purchased from Mainspring Boutique. Probably assembled in the east, equipped with the Seiko NH35 movement. Although a ‘budget’ watch its very well put together.

Something dressier for an evening out

Dinner with the Beckhams?
Country and western duo at the local British legion (yee haw!)
Beckhams can’t make it.
Yet another Promaster

That's more my size and style, though I would prefer only the quarter hours to be numerated. But then I'm a fussy so-and-so.

Ah yes - much more to my taste. :)
Yes that is very handsome.
In fact if it had a silver face it would be almost identical to my Rolex.
Am I the only one who likes a watch with a bit more bling?
This thread always gets me browsing the watch sale sites and I am drawn to gold and diamonds.
No, there's plenty more with similar tastes. Most of them live in Dubai.Quote:

You're getting slower at posting the images! Perhaps you need winding up, or a change of battery? ;)
Been a little busy.
Posts will be down in July, august and September to as I’m away for two weeks of each month.
Like the black case and bracelet, but the contrast with the dial makes it a bit "loud"Quote:

Think it's a power meter, showing how much "charge" the mechanism has?
Least that's how they work on Panerei watches.
Second 24hr hour hand, don’t see the point really, can’t show a different time?Quote:
