What watch do you wear?

[CGrieves]

I don't want 12....that will empty my bank account filling that !

Come back in a year or so and let us know if six was enough

I feel that when people buy large watch boxes they end up buying more "filler" watches. I've got a 6 slot myself. Only one slot left and one slot to be replaced. The plan is to have:

A watch i bought 30 odd years ago that I cant replace. A Seiko chrono.
A gshock square.
A diver
A beater.
A GPS watch for sports shiz.

Last slot is a military watch, maybe a dirty dozen type watch. I haven't fully decided yet.

But then Ill probably buy a 12 slot box as soon as its full. Such is the game.

Currently to go into the box

1 - A Seiko Kinetic I bought when I was a teenager. It still works!
2 - Steinhart Ocean One
3 - my Kickstarter watch
4 - Seiko 5 Fifty Fathoms lookalike
5 - the new watch
6 - Apple watch
7 - Murph?
8 - ???

This should be a good realistic and reasonable goal for now. Although I can name like half a dozen watches that isn’t too expensive (relatively) that I like, such as that metronome watch, a Brew watch, one from Mr Jones and a Certina ph1000 and a Seiko Captain Willard?

I also have a Parnis that loses like 2hrs a day… and an Omega knock off somewhere deep in my drawer and staying there.

edit - ordered the 8 slots box.

A watch I'll never wear to go along with my G-Shock!

The watch box from Amazon arrived. It's very rough round the edges, very sharp with very little sanding. I may get some 2000 grit and round off the edges a bit but for now I've applied some wax for wood on it to make it look and feel a little better. It does feel cheap but does the job.

Something cheeky for the summer.

I wish I'd bought the coke one now. Sold out very quickly in the end.

Anyone bought a Yema navygraf phantom?


Love the look of it but not sure that finish is going to be durable as a daily wear watch.

I’m turning to the help of OCUK on this one…

I’m getting married this weekend, normally wear silver but wanted to mix it up and keep a warm tone with my light grey suit/brown shoes/sage tie. Picked up these two beauties but I’m stuck with which to go for! Each has its pros and cons…. I’m taking votes, I appreciate I am probably wearing these a little low on the wrist in these photos.

So vote away and help me pick!

Sorry to hear about the marriage, but, I’d choose the Seiko.

Dial on the seiko is great.

 

[Mobius 1]

That seiko is stunning. The cocktail time watches are all beautiful.

 

[Raymond Lin]

The Seiko photographs better.

That seiko is stunning. The cocktail time watches are all beautiful.

I see that and... 1970s, brown suit, big shirt collars, the sound of wah-wah and police TV shows.. very Beasty Boys Sabotage. However I can see how it would work as a smart cocktail watch - good artistic design and better than the other by a mile.
