Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

I'd suggest trying to match the dial (3 or 7), or bezel (8), unless you can get a bracelet with micro adjust.

What happened to your jump hour watch?

 

[Vercingetorix]

That’s a Freudian slip right there.

If this thread is still alive I might post a nice vintage item which I found on a local marketplace.
This thread has 37 pages but the response is very minimal so I don't know if it's still worth to post here....

I mean... I'm here....

Each year I buy a new watch so my doctor and I have something to talk about in my physical.

Don't usually like watches that don't have an integrated bracelet, or are thick, but I'm drawn to this one for some reason.

If you like that angular case design, check out the new Omega Planet Ocean series.

That's nice, but I've sworn off divers bezels that reduce watch face diameter, another rule is must be grade 5 titanium or better for scratch resistance.

The sign above made me pull out Hercules.

Aptly named!

Check out the Zenith Defy chrono and IWC's Pilot Chronograph Ceratanium. There are a few others that are cost-comparable to the Grand Seiko, but these two stick out.

Arrived today:

What a masterpiece!
In the flesh it's even more impressive!
I'm such a big fan of the brand.
Never disappoints, always delivers, stunning designs.
Really can't beat this price/quality.

Big fan of the Bel Canto. Have tried it on many times but never pulled the trigger. This lumed-out version is pretty damn cool.

Amazing watches out here...

Here's my enormous collection of watch(es?)

I wear it 24/7 except for when it's charging

 

[Vercingetorix]

Probably the most comfortable watch I own. Big fan of Titanium. The real Titanium that shows scratches and doesn’t look like stainless.

following (mostly) silently this thread for some time, time to add some pics

They all have a story behind but I'll keep it short.

a Rolex from the early 80's : it was my father's favorite, bought it in Switzerland. I am no big fan of the brand. It has mostly a sentimental value

a Cartier from the mid 80's : I bought it. Loved it at that time and for many years

2 Junghans radio controlled (from my father)

an extremely tiny Longines from the 60's. a gift from my father to my mother. so small by today's standards ...

going to the digital world, a Tag Heuer Connected. Extremely poor battery life, extremely slow, I didn't really liked it ...

a couple of Withings. Good combination of style, very good battery life, connected to phone and health measurements.

the one I currently wear : Huawei D2
It has the unique feature of measuring your blood pressure by inflating the wristband. pretty accurate when comparing to professional devices. good battery too.
useful when ... aging

and my all time favorite : the Nixie watch
2 Nixie tubes that show hr /mn / sec. You unscrew the top to access the battery, tubes and two small tiny buttons for settings.

a bit bigger than the Longines ....

That Nixie makes a U-BOAT look small.
