LCD because I find the ticking of a watch or clock extremely irritating at night.

oh hai skaterb0y, dont think the movements of decent watches should be loud?

First of all, I can't skate.

Secondly, I've never spent more than £40 on a watch and never intend to do so either. This one was down from £80 to £40.

1959 Omega Arabic (limited build) - valued a couple of years ago at £1200.

That's nice - have you looked into getting adjusted by Rolex?

I haven't chap. It was serviced about 4 years ago IIRC (not under my ownership at the time, so I have no idea of the cost involved). Tbh I can only see it being worth a few hundred quid?, and it's quite charming in it's own way. Nothing against Rolex wearers, but those big gold and silver things don't do anything for me. This feels like a working mans Rolex (not that I'm a working mans type lol), all old and battered

.

Edit: Here's the info some dudes on a Rolex forum kindly garnished me with (I provided lots of photos of the innards etc).

Brevet + Oyster Perpetual, Model: 6332, made in the 3rd quarter of 1954, original dial, 260 movement, 600 crown, tropic 12 crystals, p72 gasket, stainless steel, 2 ruby jewel, self winding. Very little of that means anything to me I do admit

I have quite a few watches, but tend to wear only two, those being:

That Lange is nice and classy

philjayj · 28 Sep 2008 at 21:19

Its probably my favourite watch. It finishes a suit off nicely.

Rotty · 28 Sep 2008 at 21:22

Yes, could do with something nice for formal wear, don't really have anything at the moment

Whilst I appreciate some of these watches and the whole mechanics, I couldn't justify the price tags!
I have this http://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/detail/R/5368251/
Slightly chavtastic, but it's strange design caught my eye.

I got a Police watch for my 18th, don't know the model though.

I wear this Marc Ecko "Better Off Dead" White Watch that I got this year for my birthday.

NickK · 23 Oct 2008 at 15:14

Probably put these in the thread earlier but..

Got an Eco Drive today, it's meant to be an Xmas pressy for myself but I think I'll start wearing it now instead
