Watch enthusiasts - What's on the wrist?

[spencer rifle]

I can't wear wrist watches. What I am carrying now:

Hamilton 992, 21 jewels, gold jewel settings and center wheel, double roller, adjusted to temp, isochronism, 5 positions, Montgomery dial, stiff bow RR case. Still keeping time within about 1 minute a week after almost 100 years.

My every day watches are either (depending on what I'm doing):

And my NICE timepiece that I only wear for special occasions, my grandfather gave me:

I'd really like to get more "nice" timepieces, but I'm changing jobs and going back to school, so they can wait. Allegedly Sara is saving up to buy me a Tag when I propose. We'll see.


Melensdad, I may have to drive up to one of your shops just to drool over your Breitling.

Extra credit to anyone that can post a current picture of them with a watch with a tourbillon. I may even give credit to someone knowing what a tourbillon is, without having to google it.

But only a real one. There are a lot of fake tourbillon actions out there.

My current favorite is an IWC Fliegerchronograph my wife gave to me for Valentine's Day a few years back:

I frequently wear a two tone gold/stainless limited edition Duograph from the International Association of Aeronautics competition.

Would love to have one; can't afford it. Beautiful.

Ugh. I'd kill for ONE Breitling.. You're telling me you have multiple!? I'll have to get on the horn with Barry O and see if we can't remedy this situation.

I actually don't like them, they seem gaudy to me. They are DEFINITELY a "see what I can do" type thing, though.

I alternate between my Skagen titanium and my Luminox for work, when I go out I usually wear one of the two Breitlings I have (Titanium and Stainless) when I occasionally wear my Tuxedo I'll wear either my Omega Speedmaster or my David Yurman.
I'd swap them all for a Panerai Luminor GMT though

$3 at goodwill + $6 for new battery = still less than half of the new price... only $20.

Two choices on my dresser...

1. Seiko Titanium w/ metal band. (Gift to self).
2. Seiko Automatic w/ leather band. (Gift from Dad).

Sold my Longines dress watch, and bought more hobby gear!

Nice to see there are some watch enthusiasts on here. I wanted to get a really nice watch sometime and wasn't really sure what kinds of things to look for. Any good resources for where to start my research?
