Duckandswing Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I have a few nice watches and some cheap ones for work. Usually taken off when I get in the house of an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yep, it's 29 minutes past 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 At home I don't wear a watch. If going out dressed up I'll wear one. I've noticed in the last year I'm wearing them less and less. Use my phone or clock on car. Wife wears a Apple watch during the day and changes for a dress watch to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Every day! Cheap Casio digital for work, and a bit of a selection for days off or evenings out! Maybe around 20 but again all cheap but unusual watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butchdickason Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 SEIKO watches since 1965, still wear every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I wear one at work as you can never trust the clocks at are place 4 truck and all the clock tell a different time which isn't great if your booked to be somewhere at 10 and you don't know if the clock is slow or fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as here. I like a nice watch. A friend said to me the other week that if his watch was worth as much he would keep it in a safe. No point in doing that IMO, mine cost quite a bit and is used continually, as such gets a battering. After 5 years I send it back to the manufacturer for a service and it comes back like new. But, I place absolutely zero value in vehicles and abuse them until the drop to bits. Each to their own I suppose.

I am the same , I am lost without my watch , my mobile phone I could do without as I leave it in different coats and most of the time I don't need it . My two grand daughters don't wear a watch so it might be another one of these age related threads . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I stopped wearing a watch over two years-my job was time critical and I got sick of checking the time. We are surrounded by clock displays so I always have the precise time to hand. Oddly I feel better for it. My Rolex oyster date sits in the gun safe and I'll give it my lad for a birthday present. f.

CharlieT Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yes, it never comes off. Don't use a mobile as the stupid things don't work where I live and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the auto chrono shown for years and recently sold it. Cost me £21 in the American BX at Bruggen in 1970. Father's Omega on a night out perhaps, but if booted and suited the Benson Half Hunter.

Having said that the decider was when my young daughter ( some years back ) projectile vomited McDonald’s chocolate milkshake all over the back of my head on a journey back from the safari park. The stink was unbearable even after a deep clean/valet, I had to trade it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much the same, nearly bought a couple of year old ranger last year then thought if I spend all that money on a truck I won't use it for what I want one for.

NoBodyImportant Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I want to be a watch person. I own a few. Hell I own a Rolex. But they irritate me. I’d love to be a suit and tie with custom shoes and a watch type guy. But that’s not me. I got this watch when granddad passed. I had it looked at and it appears to be real. My grandfather was wealthy but not someone to spend big money on a watch. The family guesses he loaned money to someone and took it as collateral. He loaned money to half the town.
