Let's see your watch.

Before my Ecodrive which was posted above, I had a neat automatic field watch I got from Duluth Trading Co. Wore that for ages. Would still be wearing it but something got into the mechanism and makes it stop when the date changes; had it looked at but would cost more to fix than I paid for the watch originally.

Ingersoll 55 (RI). Cheap, flashy, and not very well made - how could I resist?

I've had a couple of these thin Skagen watches over the years. When the battery died in this one, I just went without it instead of replacing it. But, if I really needed a wrist watch, this would be my choice.

Supposed to be a retirement watch. View attachment 874373

Instead of retiring after 26 years I was shown the door at 54. I didn’t let the door hit me on the way out.
I don’t wear a watch. I have been wearing a Fitbit since Christmas. It has time and counts my steps.
When I wore a watch I developed a precancerous growth under the watch face. Never again.

My daily driver work watch was a Hamilton Khaki Automatic that I had for nearly 15 years. Recently started losing big chunks of time. Peeking in at the movement through the picture window on the back, you could see the little wheel that rotates back and forth was not moving. Got a price on fixing it, and it was more than the original price of the watch. Bummer. So now my daily drivers this cheap Seiko 5. Gains about a minute a day, close enough for me.

Try a small independent watch shop, one with an immigrant owner.
There's a place near me owned by a Russian guy about my (middle) age. Those guys grew up working on mechanical movements.

Please tell me it didn't look like this?

Wolbrook - Skindiver
Small manufacturer from France. Great workmanship, vintage look... Quasi the "Classic Vibe" of the watch world. Love that thing.

No, it as kind of a light pink area one inch circle where the watch face sat on my wrist.

Here’s mine. Bought it as I was finishing X-ray school as an act of faith. My only beef with it is the bezel sometimes gets really hard to turn. Holding it under running water helps though. Turns great for a little bit after that.

I use the bezel a lot for timed studies like Small Bowel Series or UGI’s.

yes I own analog watches, this is more fun.

I get lots of compliments on my tone wood watch. Actually it’s bamboo, but I do get lots of “cool watch” and “I like your watch” comments, more than with any other watch I’ve owned.

I bought one for my brother's 60th birthday - very cool watch, so slim - like a wafer!

That reminds me of the Hopalong Cassidy watch my Mum and Dad gave me when I was 7 - just had my tonsils out, I loved it!

I wore my beater today working outside power washing the teak furniture.

My phone can't post a picture of itself, so I have no photo to post of my watch.

Two Skagens and a Bering. The black banded ones were gifts from my brother. The black Skagen is my “daily driver” and the silver I picked up later for the rare occasions where black doesn’t fit in.

It’s interesting how many of us still wear watches. I have four of them from my working days, all of them costing way more than they’re really worth. My beater watch is a Movado. I’ve never seen a watch on my 38 year old son. My 40 year old is an engineer. He had to have a Rado. Class marker if there ever was one. He doesn’t wear it now except for special occasions and he remarked that no one knows what it is. My daily watch is my iPhone. My kids use iPhones as universal personal devices. My wife’s different. She uses an Android.
