What watch do you wear?

2stepsteve.

When you show them like that, it does bring up the question as to why you have about 6 divers that looks almost identical

Is there an answer to that?

Thanks for that -- I did that on my new watch (post 7982) yesterday but never knew it was called Hacking - Watch has gained 12 sec since.

Also like the manual wind - that comes in handy.

I keep looking at Skagens but can't make myself hit buy button.

They're well priced

The only thing about them is they do have weak glaass so don't go hitting them round on everything

Some people just can't get enough of a good thing

The Military watch fans always make me wonder the same thing > e.g.

At a watch meet once I met the guy (Mike someone I think he is) who famously collects Rolex sports watched and has gazillions of the damn things. He knows ever minor difference in detail between these watches that look near identical to me.

Good on them I guess.

2 step, I would be trying to get a bit of colour / funky in that collection. You know you want to, get shopping

I half want one of these:

Just fill the remaining bays with Nato straps.

Nato everything!

Couldn't agree more! Wish I could just the band on my Skagen

I need thin bands though with my anorexic arms

Seen the guys collection on Turf? Amazing, not just normal subs & SD, but rare comex, reds. Insurance cover must be interesting.

Waheyyy, managed to wind up my parnis :cool:

mrk · 14 Mar 2014 at 20:31

Didn't realise Parnis watches had emotions.

Didn't realise you had no sense of humour.

Did they forget to paint the two numbers white or ten numbers black ??

Dave

The numbers are silver and very reflective, chrome like in fact, hence the colour difference

Trust me - they're all the same colour!

What are your guys thoughts on Skagen's? Looking at a sub £100 daily watch. Keep looking at the Rotary skeleton watch though

there is just so many things wrong with this picture,

the basics lemonade bottle, the untidy papers on the floor, 4 gangs everywhere, cables everywhere, laptop on its side charging on floor waiting to be kicked, that IKEA lamp, then you hairy wrist but bald hand, with what looks like a ciggy burn,

then of course there is that over sized smart watch.......
