What watch do you wear?

Well, that's the dining room table anyway. Also was before the omega was there, the conquest, the B&R and the tudor.
With a couple of others. These mostly need a rebuild, which I decided to do 1 a year.
I'd love to build something like this dude:

Maybe not 60, and not square, but so I can mount it along my wall in a line, and say limit to 2-3 rows, or something. *draws on scraps of paper*

Your wife will be pleased with the new living room furniture.
She's forever pleased.
Funny how when I told her she was getting a replacement Tudor she didn't kick off about me buying a watch, she was very happy. Women's logic; if they get something, it's all fine.

Not remotely exciting but I bought the Nixon with the bronze face for day to day wear

Was looking around for a sparrow hawk II after seeing it on here. In the end just emailed them directly.
Got this back
I am currently negotiating a new Sparrowhawk with a factory. It looks like we will switch to a new mechanism that stretches the battery life from 3 years to 5 years.
Guess I'll hang fire till the new one comes out. Just ordered a new strap from them in the mean time to ride me over.

Finally got it today, absolutely love it although i wouldnt personally spend £300+ on a Casio but seeing as the missus bought me it...i cant complain.
Lovely watch with lovely turquoise colour to it, thought the strap was rubber but seems to be of a resin type material.
But really liking the colours and styling of the watch.
Excuse the crapiness of the photo, my Blackberry doesnt take very good pics
How are you finding this? Any updated pics? They seem to have stopped making these

Lol that's mental.
Fair play, wish I could afford that lot!
You own a 2 thousand pound camera let alone the lenses (I assume)

Hah, yes that's very true...the photography pays for itself though! That's the only way I can afford it! (I added it all up once and nearly fell over when the Excel formulae completed
)On a side note, I got an email from the rainforest this morning advertising the following.
"Stuhrling Original Mens 133.33151 Symphony Aristocrat Executive Skeleton Watch"
Google it, for some reason I REALLY like it. It's also automatic and £140 which is peanuts.
Can't figure out why I like it, considering I prefer the simplistic look to anything.

Reviews are less than favourable given the price vs comparable Seikos and it uses glass that will scratch easier as well as weak looking movement parts. Personally I'd look elsewhere.

Oh I'm not buying one! Got more important things to spend my cash on at the minute
There is something hypnotic about how it looks though...

I think it looks like an eBay skeleton watch really (just have a quick browse and you'll see!).

I picked up a miter saw in the week. I plan to try and make a storage box for my watches. Plan. Try. Being key words.
