Show us your watches

I had a great chat with a guy bragging about his Rolex in the bar - I compared it to my timex 50 lap timer Ironman branded watch - mine won hands down.

Water proof, timer, stop watch, light - his heavy and no such features.

I do have a nicer watch <£200 for interviews, functions and looking nice but I very rarely wear it.

In fact, even now my watch is sitting on the desk as it annoys me when typing.
Mine needs to be cheap as I treat everything like tulip.

Omega Seamaster bought in Barbados airport in 1999. I think a sundial would be more accurate than this at the moment though, as it needs a new rechargable battery as it only works when I'm wearing it!

I'll be quite upset the day it dies completely.

Went to see the battery bloke, and he said "it's not the battery mate. It's died". So now I feel depressed.

I guess I need to buy a new one. Maybe if I go hang round some motorway service station car parks somebody will offer to sell me one?

My father in law asked me to take his Cartier watch to a watch shop to get a new battery fitted, so i walks into the shop and asks the chap if he could put a battery in and he says "yes no problem",

I then ask how much will that be and he says "about a pound which is as much as you paid for the watch when you got off the boat"

My brother and I "bought" my dad a Rolex for £20 outside Harrods about 25 years ago, still works perfectly and even a few of the "good" watch shops couldn't tell the difference

I haven't worn a watch for over 12 years.
on the rare occasion that I need to know the time, there are plenty of clocks or or other people around to tell me

I've got a gold 1967 Breitling Cosmonaute Navitimer 24 hour for best and a 2002 Breitling B1 for everyday.

Nearly all nice men's watches I see are far to big and bulky for a slim-wristed gentleman like myself. Maybe I should find where rich Asian men buy their watches.
