I'm a watch geek...Have a fair few these days and a real thing for automatics.
So, I have good ones and "beaters", or my daily wearers if you will. I call them beaters, but I'd be gutted to bash them!
So, this was my collection about a year ago:

This was a wedding present from the missus (she got the womens version with a silver face from me when we had our son)

This I'd wanted for a long time, love it:

Since then, I've added one of these, it's a Japanese import Seiko called a Monster, can't get them in this country (well, you can, but they are all imports)

And recently, added this to the collection which I wear most days, it's a 3 timezone Hamilton Khaki on a rubber strap. Really comfy, though it's easily the largest watch I own.

Great watches Euan :thumbs up:. Very nice Seamaster, and that Tag Monaco is a real head-turner :yes nod:.
You know it's funny, so many people have commented on that omega and it must be the plainest watch they do! I love it though, it's a reL dress watch (though in my book a mens dress watch should really have a leather strap) and goes well with everything. My wife was between it and a James bond dive omega, but I'm so glad she went for that one.Quote:

Before I could afford the Tag's prices I had a couple of Seiko Kinetic watches, very nice and solid watches but the straps were pretty poor quality I found.
A.:D
The strap on my seiko isn't the usual, it's a big chunky thing and comparable to the omega bracelet straps. I've really got into seiko of late, the seiko 5 range is a real goldmine for affordable automatic watches that are good quality, especially some of the import stuff with Japanese movements in them. If I could let you try it I would, it's a weighty beast of a thing!Quote:
