Tuesday's choice:

Skyhawk AT

Now that is much better than that horrible Rotary!

My regular wear selection

This is my Skyhawk AT with the Hirsch carbon strap, with matching red stitching. Really loving this strap.

I really don't like unisex watches!! There is something just wrong with the concept

As you know I recently bought a Longines HC Auto blue...

Since I work at a desk, I remove my watch or I will scratch the bracelet (more than it already is ).

Also, after work, I go to the gym and I don't like to work out with the watch.

Do you know of maybe a portable watch box to put the watch in (to stay on my desk at work and in the bag at the gym) so the watch won't get scratched or thrown around?

Edit - Just saw some watch winders as well, and I like the idea... as for example, last weekend I had to stay in (sick) so my watch was not used and obviously it stopped. Any recommendations on these?

Thanks

Are you sure you want a watch? Perhaps its best you leave it wrapped up in the box at home...

I spent the weekend on a bouncy castle with the Longines on, completely forgot I was wearing it but springbars survived

It's a tough soab.

I been to 3 festivals with mine, just wear it.

Malt_Vinegar · 3 Sep 2013 at 17:49

I only change my watch if I am going to do some gardening, running (as i have a GPS/HR watch) or working on the cars.

No, but at the front when the manic street preachers were playing was some experience, it was so tight with bodies you need to gasp for (cold) air above your head, you jump to the music as much as if you don't and everyone does, you risk falling down and there is a real risk of serious injury from stamping. I was surprised I came out with all my clothes on and nothing got snagged!

Lol, I wouldn't argue with any "lady" who could get away with wearing that watch, it's huge

Raymond Lin · 3 Sep 2013 at 18:03

And the prodigy! (Although it was a different festival and watch then to this one)

Better you than us.

I have question for my fellow fine watch wearing watchaholics,

What would be better a few quid watch tool maintenance kit? or a few quid on just a metal link remover?

The former has a link remover that is plastic and from what I've read breaks easily.

mrk · 3 Sep 2013 at 21:17

Obviously the metal tool on its own. You won't be opening up the watch etc just adjusting bracelet so you don't need anything else.
