what watch do you wear?

pimpdriver · 21-04-09, 09:04 PM

I have always had a thing for chunky watches, and I just bought one of these:

Seiko SKX781 "Orange Monster".

I like it, it is really high quality and is not too big. And the price isn't too bad either (about £150 or so).

What watch do you wear?

Cheers

Steve

I'm the opposite. I couldn't leave the house without my watch, but I do without my phone most of the time.

And does anyone else set their watch fast?

My everyday watch (and alarm clock!) is set 10 mins fast. A bit daft really come to think of it, and I'm still usually late!

Lol, yeah sorry about that mate. I need a new one anyway, it's a bit of a pita to use and the battery goes after 15 seconds!

My day wear is a Seiko kinetic but I do own an old Seiko Bell Matic watch similar to the one in the picture below. It called a bell matic because it has a clockwork alarm mechanism and rings like a little alarm clock when set. It was my late Dad's watch and to me it's priceless and about the only real possession of his that I have. It still works though it does lose a little time and is now put away for safe keeping. No doubt it will be passed onto my son.
