Who's got a nice watch? Traditional watches only, no smartwatches please.

Thanks...I like the look a lot.
Unfortunately, the one in the pic was my second....had to return the first one since it was gaining over 7 minutes per day! This one is gaining only a couple seconds per day (well within tolerance)....after a week it's still not off by a minute.
Fortis Cosmonaut
So, my eye was caught by a Fortis B-42 Cosmonaut Auto Day Date, I got it but to my dismay, it had to go back to watch hospital as it was gaining 90 seconds a day. Hopefully it will be healed soon and I can enjoy it again. Thought it was a nice change from my IWC Portuguese and my 40mm Panerai Power Reserve.
I suspect it has become magnetised in some way.
Will let you know how I get on. This is it though:

Congrats! Stunning.
That OIS on your 6+ def did not help with the stabilization though.
Lovely watch. Well wear and I hope you really enjoy it. (However, the picture posted failed to do the watch justice .)
Exactly.
Well, I have never been a huge fan of the iPhone's capacity to create memorable images .
I'm just busting your chops GG, but GEEZ your camera skills are terrible lol
You try and take a picture of your wrist with a massive phone!
Now you need to learn how to crop photos on your iPhone
I've had a samsung for over a year trying to get used to iPhones again
I AM LOVING MY WATCH! My poor cartier feels unworn LOL
Well, debates about your iPhone camera skills notwithstanding, this is a considerable improvement on your earlier offering - at least the watch (the whole point of the exercise) is in focus, and I can read clearly that it is a Rolex. And a very lovely Rolex, it is, too. Well wear.
For what it is worth, as my personal phone is an antique Nokia, I, too, have absolutely no idea how to use a camera phone ..
Not a huge fan of the Panerai in general, (personally, I think them a bit big, but that is probably the point) and in this instance, I wouldn't be crazy about the strap.
Excellent choice! Very classy looking in my opinion.
I've been considering a Shinola myself and pictures like these sure do make it easier to pull the trigger when the times comes.
Eh, should have waited a bit more after my last watch purchase but thought, gonna buy it eventually, why not now.
From that distance, I confess that I am unable to read the name of the brand of the watch; perhaps you could enlighten us please?
