Weighs a ton
2003 TAG Heuer.

Just received another Casio F-91W. This is now my 3rd one. After a few years the strap breaks....Very common!
Good watches. Cheap, accurate and plain simple.

Yep I like simple Casios. :)

This is my current Tag, it's going to find a new home soon though as I fancy a black dial F1, and a lack of funds means one in one out. :)

Sorry chap, forgot to look at the thread again :doh:
This one's about 13 years old, they do it in either silver, white or blue face, possibly black also. I was slightly frustrated to find that after its first year it was supposed to have a service, which took 2 months (!) but all fine other than that. The strap really gathers grime (must have a sweaty wrist) and needs a good toothbrushing once in a while.

Lovely old Rolex on a gorilla man! :eyebrows:

I have a few watches but the one I use on a daily basis is a Timex that's 3 day's older than god but light weight and very comfortable
Indeed, a simple timeless classic, worn by folk with class and sophistication, unlike the blinged-up to buggery variety, which are worn by pretentious idiots trying to make a 'statement' to others about themselves.
They make a 'statement', all right, but perhaps not the one they'd intended..... ;)

I never understood the watch thing. My father celebrated his divorce with gold Rolex, which wound up my mother. He has a solid gold Audemar but now wears an Apple Watch. I haven’t worn a watch for years. A friend has a collection of some 500 classic Tag Hauer watches, so I understand.

I have this Bulova from the 1940s. My dad had one very much like it that he won playing cards with his crewmates in Singapore after the Korean war ended. When he died I asked my stepmother if I could have it but it never came my way. So although the one I have was never my father's it's a small reminder of times past. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8d1f1abb9f.jpg

I am wearing an Alpina semi smartwatch but with classic design. My first watch in 10 years. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1791fe0246.jpg

The three watches that I still wear on a yearly basis are a Guess and two Citizen watches.
The middle one in the picture is the one I tend to wear most of the time these days. It doesn't require a battery change ever, and the time and date is automatically updated to wherever you are in the world, allegedly. I was getting fed up of the battery going dead every three years, and that I then ended up spending weeks before I finally got round to ordering a battery and fitting it myself. So that's why I bought this watch after shutting my eyes and handing over my card to pay for it.
The third one I bought in December 1999. I didn't want to use the same watch in the new millennium, which is why I bought it then.

Watches are not my thing really but I bought this for myself a few months ago

One thing I didn't want is a bezel that doesn't move and has useless numbers on it, so I like this watch because it doesn't have that nonsense.
Ian reminded me, I have my Dad’s watch, still going strong, must be over 70 years old!

And I got this for my 18th so over 40 years old and also still working well

18 carat yellow gold cushion case Omega Constellation. One of the last models produced, I believe, to use a Swiss movement (calibre 751).

Animal Pro Series Quartz Chronograph from the late 1990s (this one from 'new').
Rotary diver type...and an Accurist dual display...got the Rotary in a pawn shop for £17.50..as it neede a new crystal...the watch repair ctr in Newcastle put one in and pressure tested the watch for £30.00....and the Accurist was given to me by my future son in law....both keep excellent time....cheap n cheerful...look ok and tell the time....

hahahahha check the dates out...I can't see the date on the Rotary even with my glasses........I've just put it right....
Had a look at some of my old pocket watches there. Not seen light of day for while and are due a wind up soon. Really need to think about moving them on.
First is my lovely Elgin. Quite old this and Ive shown it before
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...26cdeda8c1.jpg
Then this 60'a Chessie. These are now very Collectable especially in the states. Brand new condition this

Then 2 newish half hunters

Both pretty but not the real thing. Got lots of real American ones. Lol
I am keen on watches in the best sense because they are essential for work. The time must be on my wrist rather than on the phone in my pocket.
I go for just an analogue face with no other functions which I dont use anyway...an analogue date is just a pain to maintain so would have to be a digital inset....a diving dial on a home watch is laughable
A good Sekonda or Skagen is all thats needed. A watch as a status symbol only interests me to a point...maybe because I dont have £5000 I want to blow on a watch...and maybe because a cheaper watch tells me enough for the money. I couldnt care less thats its a second accurate in a year because I waste so much of my time anyway. I couldnt care less if its been made by angels in the hills of Switzerland.
The Skagen is ultra slim and titanium. Ive put a brown leather strap on it now which looks cool.
A watch can get a bashing so Im pretty careful what I wear for work and for dress occasions.
I need a watch for swimming but buying cheaper leaves me with options to buy many more if needed. I would go radio controlled again....the downside of cheaper watches is that Ive had a few pack up on me.
Casio G-Shock, excellent watch, indestructible & tells the time perfectly.
Also got a fancy Rotary chrono thing that's spent more time being mended than it has on my wrist, last time it went wrong I chucked it in a drawer and left it there.
You get what you pay for apparently :lol:
Just rescued this old boy from the bin...the face was scratched to hell....I used some 1000 wet and dry and then polished it out with metal wadding polish...the gold plate is pretty good...bought a strap for it today for £6.95...it's running spot on and keeps great time for a 1960's/70's Russian mechanical watch...plain and functional

Aye they were made in Russia but it was a U.K. Company
The watch I'd love to own is the Tag Huer Monaco, bit unlikely unless I win the lottery.
My mate has either a tag or a heuer. Forgot which. It was before they joined up and is worth a few bob. Quite nice too
There is more to it than that, an old watchuseek discussion: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f10/se...es-649514.html Post #22 summarises it
I will keep my eyes better peeled in the charity shops, in future!
I treated myself to this for me 40th and I don't regret it one bit. There's a shop called watches of Switzerland in Canary Wharf and it draws me every time. There's a b&o shop in the wharf too I haven't been in there once.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a4839b0da0.jpg
