I'd never heard of them until i googled "Jazzmaster" looking for a generic image of the guitar to show someone

That's beautiful! I can sure see why that one made the cut!

I love the Breitlings!

I love traditional wristwatches as much as ever and find them as useful as ever. This is the oldest one (but not the first by any means) I have right now so I thought I'd post it.

Not sure why this thread is so interesting but it’s fun to see what we do/don’t have in common besides a particular type of guitar

Love your Tissot. I try not to become a "fanboy" of a particular brand of any product, but I've obviously failed in regard to Fender Strats. I find myself more interested in Tissots than the other watches I get daily feeds on...I keep telling myself I already have one, but that brand has something great going on in regard to styling.

Tissot.

Wow, very nice!

Cheers! It's got a kind of "Mad Men" vibe to it I think
For a Swiss made watch, it was rather inexpensive. Think I paid AU$350 for it

I only have one watch. It's about 22 years old now.
Yep, another Citizen Eco-drive. Never faltered, except I did discover that if I left it in the drawer for about 6 months, it would eventually stop.

I don't wear it that much, but it does the job.

The Citizen Eco-drive is one of the types of watches I've always followed.

I wear stuff out. Timex works for me, although sometimes I forget to put it on.

I bought my mom a Timex just this week--she doesn't know it because it hasn't arrived yet. I have a very good friend that is a watch collector (he has about a dozen) and his collection includes a very sharp Timex. Good watches are good watches!

My 12 year old Seiko died on me so I replaced it with this TAG Heuer Formula 1.

Wow, that's beautiful! I want a Tag one of these days.

All of the Citizen Eco-drive pictures are creating WAS!

Oooo...tell us more about that Hamilton!

it’s a Jazzmaster GMT, and the lower crown will rotate the inner bezel. It came with a faux ostrich leather band, but in the hot months I prefer the nato strap. It’s a unique design and it gets noticed more than I do… haha

I have been looking for a small gold tone rectangle watch leather band with luminous hands for over a year. I think luminous went away unless it is a dive watch. The only ones I find are vintage and contain radium.

I can't help you with the rectangular spec, but radium has been replaced with tritium, a hydrogen isotope. Luminous paint has its glow fade after exposure to light. Tritium doesn't. Some brands that use tritium gas tubes (tube watches!) are Bertucci: https://www.bertucciwatches.com/Bertucci/WATCHES.html

Nite watches: https://www.nitewatches.com/us/store

Traser watches (made by the Swiss company that makes the tubes for everyone else): https://www.traser.com/en/

Watch of the day: Seiko Sealion automatic watch from the 70s,. Watch tips by Steve Francisco. I love the raised hour markers. Keeps great time.

I think we need more pictures of this one...

I’m clearly alone here. I have never worn a watch. Never. Terrible, huh?

Back in the 60s and 70s Seiko was fighting hard to be considered a time piece manufacture of the highest quality. The Swiss and the French were working hard to exclude them from the club. Seiko built some great watches in that period. There are some good accounts of this battle on the interwebs.

No, if it works for you that's fine. I don't wear a watch to know what time it is--my phone and computer (where I spend a lot of my day) will tell me that. I wear a watch because I like the look.

That's absolutely beautiful.
