Watches

It's this one, but not as pristine. 12-9-6 layout compared to your 3-6-9 layout.

 

IIRC Even the solar rechargeable batteries like mine uses aren't all that expensive, maybe low double digits at most. I would put in the effort to find a decent jewely store to do any work on my watch though. Any place that sells more expensive watches like the Master of G series or mid to high end men's watches should be fine.

 

I value prestige but I never got to a point with watches where there was any point so: must be digital, must be waterproof. Mustn't break. That's about it.

If you hand me a Rolex or something I'll take it but I will sell it.

 

My latest watch is a military style very rugged. My wife says I have a watch fetish. I have five watches as of right now all are waterproof (a must) some are for dress up others for work. I never don't have one on. I expect to be buried with one.

 

My wife says I have a watch fetish I can’t seem to walk past a watch display case and not look at them. I have at present 8 watches. I can’t help but buy more. I posted last year I had only 5 but that number has grown by three.

 

I literally would have to count the number of watches I won, mostly because I win auctions of mixed lots of watches. Very few are valuable, collectible, etc.

My favorite EDW is a Cavalry model (I have several) from Victorinox, Wenger, & Swiss Army Brand.

Citizen Eco-Drive is another favorite. Several are very nice ladies models, but my wife has large wrists. On some we've had links added, but several require replacing the bands/bracelets which isn't an easy task on a discontinued models. If she had the need/professional position for being seen wearing nice watches we would pursue it.

My biggest "sleeper" scores are a Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk Black Eagle, and black face model that looks awesome but is very difficult to read.

One these days I'm going eBay a bunch of them.

 

I've always loved the Casio m5600 series g-shocks. I love the whole function over form thing; no moving parts, atomic sync, solar powered. When they made it in steel, its the only watch I wear now.

 

That's a nice looking watch. Add a few subtle black accents to the bracelet, and it would look even dressier.

 

DO JEWELRY STORES REPLACE BATTERIES?

 

Be careful. Some stores will offer a special service where they water test the seal; it's a rip-off upsale.

Around here $10.00 will get you new battery, and a new gasket if needed.

 

i could not tell you the last time i went to the mall. lol

gasket....???

 

Like a thin tubular rubber band. It goes on the back piece that unscrews, or the back of the watch; IIRC the gasket helps give the watch better water resistance. I don't know if all watch models utilize one.

 

Ok, so if I had stupid money and everything else paid off, I would get this. Tag Heuer Monaco in Gulf livery. Tank case, popularized by Steve McQueen in the movie Le Mans. Of course it's around 5k, so I will not be getting it. But that watch has captured my eye. Judging by the pic, I would also assume McQueen is left handed, as I am. We're also both extremely good looking and excellent drivers. Twinsies!
