Great Reece, you have style :DL

That's an odd looking watch in the upper left corner, never seen anything like it.

And as for that swirly watch, interesting concept but.... I'll never wear it :hmmm: Too much time wastage just trying to guess the time.

I've gone thru quite a few watches, I used to wear analogue til I found it too much hassle and moved on to digital. Had a Speedo watch as as my first digital, it lasted quite a long time til the straps broke. Mum bought me a nice looking Billabong watch, it's pretty beat up, still wearable til the light function began to fade the display. I tried to see if it can be repaired, and failed to use the warranty since it was still within 12 months. Still usable just not in the dark. Now I'm upgrading, still can't decide what I want this time but it has to be really nice with a good display. And not way too flashy XD

Swiss Army for me, when I wear one. Never cared for digital.

Personally, not for the digital clock, it must be analog and any style of pure, completely waterproof to withstand all Atm (atmosphere), sapphire crystal, chronometer an advantage.

Geno_Mariner 02-21-11 06:45 AM

I did consider going back to analog but there's just nothing that interests me :hmmm:

Do you have solar cells that powered your digital clock or the battery, which is vulnerable :hmm2:

My father just gave me this watch which he had bought approx. 10 years ago in Perpignan, France:

American military watch Hamilton, model Khaki Ref. 8775; on the back of the watch there is the USMC logo.

A clockmaker said the watch has a Swiss ETA watch movement which are of good quality and which you won't find in cheap watches.

The watch looks like this one:

I have a similar with a logo, a few years old but is very similar to this one, the one I have is a Seiko, very durable and heavy, waterproof sapphire crystal, analog.
