What's your favorite watch?

  • BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Totally unsuitable for bushcrafting, but my favourite watch is a, black strapped black bezel, black face, hands and numbers Swatch, bought for me by my then girlfriend in 1987.

Doesn't matter if its bushy or not, sounds beautiful :-)
Where's the picture?

Seiko Automatic Divers on a steel band I bought from Lawrence. Won't have watches that need batteries, like water proof. Had the capacitor fail on Kinetics so it has to be automatic.
 
Timex Expedition from Argos

I have a Casio G-shock that my wife bought for me last year. Knowing that I always manage to destroy anything that isn't waterproof, dustproof & bombproof she went with this little beastie...

It has many more functions than I would normally use although the barometer & altimeter can be useful sometimes...it's comfy to wear and it's lasted longer than any other watch I've owned so far.
 
Nothing fancy for me, my day to day is an Accurist stainless chronograph the wife bought me for my 21st

My bushy watch is even cheaper, a Timex Camper with indiglo for about £20 from Amazon

I've also got an Uzi Protector somewhere which I don't wear, just too bulky for my liking.
 
I had Seiko automatics for 30 yrs. Then got a Timex Expedition which I've had for ten. Its battery will run out soon, I expect, and I will replace it with either the same or another Seiko automatic (like Welchyd's) depending onthe funding situation at the time. I like them both but think the Seiko automatics are better.
 
These are my two favorits.
The Wenger came from Switzerland 10 years ago and still the same battery.

Sorry about the second pic.
 
Is that the 2254.50? Becoming quite sought after.

No idea,the only number I can see on it is 930 on the strap. I got it from Goldsmiths between Christmas and new year a few years ago while contracting in London. Bored, contracting salary and access to shops is bad combination. I'm glad I got it when I did, no chance buying anything that pricey these days.
