Watches.

No watch for me.... Just and iPhone to tell the time

[Delboy]

Currently wearing a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic (silver dial). Had waited years (like Del Bhoy) to get one so when I left my job (voluntary redundancy) in the whisky industry in Jan 2007 I took my chance.

Glad you've got better taste in watches than football teams Crombgers .

Crombgers .

Brilliant retort

Surely not!

I feel in the skud without my watch on

Quotes like this WILL come back to 'haunt'

Funnily enough, I thought about posting about this the other week but didn't know what the reaction would be.

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 . Very nice Seamaster, and that Tag Monaco is a real head-turner .

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.

Euan, that Omega is a lovely looking watch. Nice and simple and uncluttered.

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.

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!
