What kind of Watch do you wear

Hi All
Just wondering what kind of watch is the MB Guy-Girl wearing these days? Here is mine.
Sport watch- Rolex. Stainless steel submariner Ca 1958 worn by Sean connery in a couple of the 007 movies.
Casual dress- Franck Muller 18k rose gold CASABLANCA model.
Dress watch- Vacheron. 18k rose gold with concealed diamond dial.
Happy driving.

Didn't mean to come off braggaducios.
I actually won the Rolex and Muller in a high stakes poker game.
So, what kind of watch do you wear? Happy driving.

None here either. Between my Verizon cell phone and the ntp-synchronized computers around the lab and home, I don't really need one.

Howdy All,
I wear a G T E by Motorola pager supplied by the company I work for. Among other things it has a clock and alarm functions.

I have a self-winding Omega that I'd love to get tuned-up. Instead, I wear this "temporary" fifteen year-old $20 Timex. Large numbers and sweep hands for folks with old eyes. I don't need a seconds hand, what's that for?

I'm looking forward to the day I don't need a minutes hand.

B what Omega do you have? I'm guessing it's a Seamaster. You can send your watch to Omega in Bienne and get a full service for $200, they refurbish the whole watch polish, replace worn parts ect.

I will PM the link to you.

Seiko military mechanical when teaching, a Citizen 200 meter automatic diver sometimes (have a brand new one for sale too - $85), a Seiko 15 jewel chrono for out on the town and a Swiss 25 jewel military with banda band and beadblasted case.

Always liked those Seamaster hands.

Have an old cal750 omega seamaster on the bench right now, just needs hands (vintage) and it's ready to go back to its owner.

Thanks for the link and the recommendation. When I get over this crazed fixation on my 300e restoration maybe the Omega will come back into focus. I assume you have "issues" with the other facility?

Bought the Timex as a temporary until I got the Omega repaired (the self-winding mechanism is scraping the case), went out of the country for a year and just haven't gotten around to it in the 15 years since. The manana syndrome I picked-up in that year of living dangerously.

I wear a stainless steel case/band Swatch with time and date. A simple, bullet proof and inexpensive Swiss-made timepiece. Probably the Volkswagen of watches--not much of a statement.
