Which watch do you wear?

Posted by: GraemeH on 19 May 2011

Me -  IWC Mark XII Automatic

 

An absolute classic in my view.

Never had a watch...weird but true.

I have this Seiko with a Zulu band, very happy, has been very accurate for the last two weeks since purchased.

So nouvelle vague!

 

I'm on the same minimalist approach, but use a small cellphone. I don't wear any watch, nor jewellery either. I don't like it, It feels for me like obstacles to free movements.

 

Bye.

Got a new beater. Not my photo, but the watch is the same.

And a Chris Ward C8 Pilot. One day i'd like a Tag Heuer Carrera day/date or a Monaco....

By the way, sorry for the double pic...not used to the new forum yet.

I just chopped a Carrera in for a day date one. I don't know what it is about Tag - I just like them. I did look at a Monaco LS but I think the novelty would wear off.

Uses the IWC MK XII body shape I see....

Agreed, it is like a poor man's IWC. No complaints though as it's swiss made automatic with sapphire glass and a 5 year warranty...plus i got it and the Spa ltd edition quartz during the Chris Ward half price summer sale together for around $500. 

 

Harry, congrats on the day/date Carrera! Saw it for the first time in person last week and think it has surpassed the Monaco as my new dream watch....

 

Cheers

Panerai Luminor Marina Storico

Panerai Luminor Regatta Flyback Chrono Classic Yachts Challenge 2006 (this one is limited edition of 500)

 

Both were presents.Don't keep time very accurately...

 

Paid myself:

 

Zeppelin 100 Jahre Limited Edition (150 euro onboard a plane duty free, quartz)

Nautica Chronograph (150 euro in an European shop, quartz)

JetSet WB30 Blue (for the summer diving, 100 euro in shop, quartz)

 

Those three keep time immaculately :-)

 

Doxa, golden, gift from my father who bought it 1966 in Egypt, needs total refresh but has lot of potential, mechanic and sentimental value, all advice welcome (not in use).

 

Will consider exchange for mint and recapped 32/250 or Rolex Submariner/Seadweller, only in steel and black dial :-)

Omega Seamaster Professional Small version.  Had it nearly 16 years and it keeps excellent time.  It only comes off my wrist when I go for a scan or during three operations. 

 

I broke a link in the wristband and took it into a well known jewelers to inquire about getting it repaired.  They informed me it would be at least 8 weeks.  I took it to Omega's shop in Albemarle Street in London.  They kept it for three hours and charged me nothing to repair it.

 

Would not be without it.

Not entirely on topic, but I've just been quoted £7.99 to fit a new battery to my beautifully simple Casio.  Brand new replacement watch is available from Amazon for £5.80.  Madness!

I recall buying the a watch from a High Street 'Jeweller' for a holiday where I just wanted something super-cheap and disposable. It was something like £4.99 but the salesperson tried to send me an extended warranty for £20. He seemed a bit suprised when I declined.
