No, but I do hope to at some point. I have far more storage room for watches than I do cars.

I actually haven't worn a watch in 15 years since I stopped wearing them (none were anything special, a Bulova Marine Star dive watch was the "best") for practical reasons when I was messing around with machinery, equipment and loading trucks on a daily basis. Just haven't gotten back into the habit after moving on from the warehouse.

I do appreciate the look and feel of a fine watch but have a tough time justifying the purchase of one right now. Maybe when 1/2 my kids are through their post-secondary education.

Though this ungainly and heavy Invicta is mine:

I've narrowed my purchase down to Oris, will pull the trigger on a diver when I find the right one.
