Currently use an old Omega seamaster, loses about 5 minutes a day! So just bought a new Seiko 'Presage', not sure I'll like it though, as I like the old style watch - smallish and slim, but these presages look nice from photos anyway, and at 37.5 mm aren't too big. Then discovered something called Grand Seiko, some really nice retro pieces there, but once again, prefer the one's for the Jap market, smaller I think - 35mm, not cheap though. https://www.jurawatches.co.uk/collec...-mens-srpe41j1

Maybe the Invictas, no bugger’ll want them when I pop me clogs.Originally Posted by Mikeandvan
Do you plan on taking these with you into the afterlife or something?

I've looked at Grand Seiko's and there are some very nice pieces I just can't get my head round spending Rolex money on a Japanese watch.
I have a dozen or so Seikos, this being probably my favourite. Purchased at Macy's in New York.

Birthday in February,
treating myself to a Hamilton Ventura in black.
The “Elvis” watch.
Something a bit different...
Good enough for “Blue Hawaii”, good enough for me...

The triangular one? Yes, always fancied one of those.

A few variants of it, probably a black dial with stainless bracelet
Has that 1970’s mantelpiece clock quality about it.
This one takes my fancy..

Found this in my wardrobe drawer, been there since about 1970 when my uncle gave it to me. Never really used it as at the time it looked old fashioned to me. It still works, kept good time over the last day since I got it out.
Appears to be a better watch than I thought.
Apologies, terrible photo. Watch looks better than this.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
