Probably a dressy or diver type......can't really get away wearing a sporty watch whilst wearing a suit. I am not Becks.

 

LG Obane 2 or the Citizen light watch for something simple. Never really saw the fascination with uber expensive watches

 

After saying I wasn't interested in uber expensive watches. I have been given one, which costs a small fortune. Having not worn a watch for 30 years it has reignited my desire to wear a watch. So I wear my special watch on dress occasions and got myself a nice analogue with digital insides for daily use. Plus I invested in a beautiful watch winder to keep my pride and joy wound. Just shows!

 

Go on then, what have you been given?

 

This is my Custom Tag formula one good watch too!

 

Breitling transocean!

 

What were the chances... It's my Birthday today and I've always wanted a nice modern automatic watch. I've got an automatic Seiko which I wear everyday, a vintage Omega and my Dad has 3 nice Rolex's which I think sparked my interest. Anyway, this morning I opened a present and my fiancé has got me the new blue ceramic Omega Seamaster! A complete surprise! Currently on the way to get it resized



I just googled Breitling Transocean. It looks nice. A lot of Breits are very fussy which I don't like but that Transocean looks a little held back which is good IMO.

 

Nice gift that.

Got a few watches myself, nothing expensive. Few Seiko divers (one modded one) my 'best' is a steinhart which is a bit of a vintage sub homage.

I'd like a 60's sub but they're well out of my reach now.

 

my wife would buy me Undies

 

All I got last birthday was a book about "wood"

called Norwegian Wood


all about the chopping stacking and drying of wood




it is fascinating btw

 

I've got that book and I keep it in my bathroom . It's one of those quirky books you would find in posh garden centres etc. I agree, it's very interesting particularly as I chop, stack and season my own firewood.

 

yes agree - a good read and aesthetically pleasing too

and - I have a job penned in to spend a day chopping and re-stacking my woodpile before the winter sets in!

 

That'a probably because you spend all your time and money on cars and not on your wife

 

Got this as a 21st birthday present,

**** at keeping time tho loses about 10 mins a month,

Sorry about the skinny bitch wrists

 

lol, the watch looks enormous

but on a brighter note - your **** must look massive when you are holding it too

 

One of the few advantages, also helps when doing the plugs

 

It's really not that big, I have the skinniest arms ever haha,

 

Don't mention plugs, my hands are still fecking bleeding!

 

I always hankered after a skeleton watch,

loved the look of the Rotary Skeletons, glass font and rear,

Not particularly expensive, but just look nice,

Was all set to buy, and then i spotted a left field alternative

an Ingersoll Ghandi Skeleton,

Saw one many years ago at a small jewelers, but he wanted silly money

for it. I managed to pick it up for just over a quarter of its current price.

It ticks like an old school watch, makes a change from the precise quartz

driven movements


Mart

 

You literally can't beat Jaeger Lecoultre watches... something like the Jubilee collection. Though they are more investments than watches..

 

lol, I actually have quite small hands too

I watch with too large a face would look a bit silly on me I suspect

 

Source a used Bremont Martin Baker 2. Only ever going up in value, can be sourced at the top of your budget and won't break the bank, unlike a Rolex sports watch.

 

Oh go on then check out my skinny wrists!

 

I quite like BRM Watches, and seriously considering a V12 model.

Bit pricey at nearly £5k.

 

I have a TAG F1 similar to this with the same strap, is ok with suit and the jeans option.

I also have a couple of Rado's with self wind thing, one all ceramic and one with a similar strap to the TAG but with pierced front, again both fine with casual or more formal wear.

Have a couple of others mot really dual wears ones IMHO.
