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

I have what I would consider the ultimate watch.

Sterling Silver Rolex Submariner. Purchased in 1984.

The Submariner is a quality watch. I kind of want one even though I'm not a fan of Rolex.

Eventually I'm going to pickup a vintage Submariner from my birth year.

But are you sure it's not stainless steel as opposed to silver? I've never heard of a silver Submariner.

Yes you are correct. My bad.

My Timex

Had this for about 3 years now. I love the classic simplicity - champagne dial - brown leather strap - beautiful!

It a RAM Instrument Field Watch I purchased very cheap on ebay about 5 years ago for $15. It's probably the most accurate watch I have. Even more so than my expensive Tag's and Movado's.

Ever since my Danish Design watch broke about two years ago (I didn't think of warranty until it had already expired) I've been without a watch...

Yesterday I got a nice handmade leather wristband for my iPod nano, so that'll serve as my watch from now on.
I like its minimalism and it feels so good to finally have a watch on me again

Also, I received my stainless steel band in the mail yesterday. I think it looks really good as well, more like a watch and less like a gadget

Not necessary. I'd been wanting a white faced watch for a while and it was a toss up between the Milguass or Explorer II. When I saw the lume on the Milgauss I just had to have it.

That looks fantastic. I have to say, that's probably one of the first rolex's that I've really really liked. Otherwise, I think I prefer Omega more

Has been a while since that conversation, but I'd like to know what you guys think of the Speedy Alaska Project? I got the regular Moonwatch but thought this always a good and playful addition.

Since i have a cellphone, i have never used a watch any more. It seems that i have forgoteen the existence of the watch.

Love, love, love the Alaska project and was tempted by one a couple of times.

I have a couple of Seamaster's and would like a Speedmaster eventually.

It's not an omega or Rolex but I quite like it

Just joking. My watch is currently in revision (650€ aargh!) and I have to say I don't miss it, but am glad when it's back and safe at my wrist. There are times I also love to keep my cellphone shut or at home (i.e. vacations / or where I have to because of security reasons), so a wristwatch is not always just about luxury or showing off.

I'm old school, and old lol! I will always wear a watch. I feel naked without one.

No, I work at a University. As far as the OMEGA Lifetime magazine, I keep watch literature in my office, since a couple of my colleagues are also into watches.

Are french cuffs considered more formal or more causual?

More formal, but it's not exclusive to black or white tie. French cuff shirts are common in business attire.

Nice. Just saw some of your photos. Man you must have took those pics of models just when they started. They look so different now. Bookmarked to check them out later. Thanks.

well, everybody has his own favorite things, just hold on to be yourself!

I'm going to post a watch that I want. I don't know if this is compliant with the thread's rules, so it might not work. Okay… here goes nothing:



The Mutewatch

I've become obsessed with the idea of owning a watch that shows a blank surface until, with a flick of the wrist, the time appears. This seems too pricey, but I want it, dammit!

 

[DaKKs]

My daily driver, so to speak. Not the nicest or most expensive watch i have, but I'm very fond of it. Bought it for a steal, originally assumed it was a replica, but it wasn't. Its been keeping time for 50 years, and I'm making sure it will do so for 50 more. Serviced and refurbished last year. The dial is the only bad part, but that will be sorted this year. You'd be surprised how difficult it is finding dials for these things. You'd think spare parts for Omega watches would be readily available.

Not to be rude but how old are you guys who actually use watches?

I haven't seen anyone wear a watch in like 8 years haha. I came into this thread to see if anyone posted a Samsung watch to troll the thread. I have seen a couple people with the ipod nano as a watch. Even saw this guy who put magnets in his wrist to have a strapless watch.

 

[DaKKs]

Not to be rude but how old are you guys who actually use watches?.

Nothing rude about it mate. I would consider it a fair question. Its one of those things that come with age. Like wisdom. The ability to appreciate a good watch is not something people develop early in life. I'm 20, for the record. However i used to fix broken watches with my father, still do in fact. Taught me everything i know.

However, we should also recognize the cultural differences, it differs in every country. And since macrumors is such a diverse forum, it will throw whatever statistic you come up with way off course.

There are plenty of us who wear, and alway will wear watches. Age has nothing to do with it my friend.

BTW, both my nephews wear them.. aged 17 and 20..
