Wrist watches - what you got/want?

[geofferz]

Every day is a school day! Less so now tbh - I bought an omega aqua terra and that does everything. I could buy a new rolex, or a new race bike and I can't afford both soooo... Yeah I'd take the bike. I used to have a tag, die as, nomos dress watch, but hand wind was a pain, leather, can't get it wet... Convenience is king. Coincidentally it's in the shop in Turkey (managed to find an omega dealer) as I got water in it somehow!! They are fixing it for me, but I feel naked You? Another thread perhaps.

 

I really want a Railmaster, with the blue face and steel wrist band. though right now im happy enough slumming it with my Stowa.

 

Stowa is a superbly respected watch in my circles. Mr shauer knows how to make em. A few times I came v close to nabbing a deck watch but never quite made it. Which do you have?

I have the "back to bauhaus" antea. exactly like this:

 

beautifully simple and by far the most accurate watch Ive owned in years.

I also have a glycine hand wound, that i rarely wear and a japanese JDM that needs a service.. so has been \retired\. But the Stowa is my favourite.

If i were to buy a new one, the ideal first choice would be the Omega, but if i cant justify that then i have my eyes on the Lacroix Aikon. which apes, to a degree the AP

I also have a real soft spot for Breguet, I really like the Classique 5177 despite it being extremely 'dressy'.. though 'simple' too.

Nah . I had a Timex for my 21st birthday but that was it .

With clocks everywhere I have stop wearing them.

Usually was a great fan of Seiko and was very close to loose my mind on a top of range one but then I have the laptop (2 of them) 2 phones, TV, Hi-Fi system, DVD player, the kitchen clock, alarm clock, the car one, the radio telling the news every hour.

I realise I don't need it

Same here, although in my case I don't wear one because time is necessarily linear and incremental for the watch-wearer, and I don't want to be shackled to a linear existence.

Nice one @XTreme

 

I haven't bought it......it's too far away from me!

If that was in Granada, Almeria, or Murcia provinces I'd be taking a close at it.

I'm sure you could get it delivered.

Then go to the north to get the gel pads in the seats

But I'd need to get the Strom there for part ex......that's an issue with work commitments.

And also, if there's a problem with it, it's getting it back to Malaga.

[husoi]

I know..

You pay for my flights (for sure mrs will want to go too ) and I'll get it for you

I'll take care of meals and stuff

G shock is a respected watch. My omega leaked water this week which was embarrassing - I was gonna buy a temp g shock to give, climb in etc. But I want this one which is pricey

Yeah nice. Handwind unitas is that?

Which omega?

I too love this AP. 20k nowadays though And only 50m wr!!

Nothing posh. A g shock and s couple of storm ltd editions and a storm I won in a competition. I never wear a watch though. What I'd really like is a very cheap watch with a simple clear analogue display and NATO strap. The kind of watch that would survive anything and still only costs £15.

The Railmaster with the blue face, exactly like this:

 

The Glycine is one of the oversized 45mm with a repurposed pocket watch calibre.

I like the Aikon, because it takes some style cues from the Nautilus. without the price tag.
