What watch do you wear?

- Start date
Been browsing the Fossil store upstairs (the brand, not dinosaur remnants) and they have some really nice watch boxes in real leather and suede/nappa interior.
£99 for the largest one which holds 10 pieces.
They also have a range of Nato straps now ranging from £5 to £12.
Not too bad.

After browsing this thread for months and months I finally got myself a watch 
I'm not really sure why I went with this one in the end but I love it.

Hi Rob,
It is tucked away in the safe. Still working on watches that arrived in in November and December so we are getting there
Have a great week!
Due to work load and minimum hours available to work on watches, estimated completion dates can be inaccurate.
Thanks,
Jay
Muchos wait!

Nice Seiko BathmanNick!
The Peeble doesn't look too bad. The original black cases that they used looked awful and cheap looking, yours is prettier Cavallino.

Cool freebie!
Yeah we sell their projectors so occasionally get freebie watches when they are feeling generous.

Parnis has arrived 
Is the huge bit inside at the back (excuse the technical terminology) meant to move quite freely and make such a scratching sound?

That's the pendulum and its what charges the watch (spring).
And yes, it does make a sound, not scratching as such, just gears i guess. All my watches with that makes a sound, some louder than others. The quietest is the Steinhart and as it happens, costs the most.

After waiting a couple of months for this to come back in stock, I finally have one! My first Chinese piece.
Sapphire crystal!
Haven't got the heart to pull the protective plastic off yet.
I really really like this. Simple and understated. It will be get a lot of wrist time. My need for a white dial and blue hands have been nicely satisfied with this one.
It's funny, some think it looks like a Nimos, I think they are full of ****!
It looks nothing like one!
