Wife bought me one of these about 8 years ago on interest free credit....it took me a year to pay for it.

Breitling. I have a 1960 Navitimer.

I have the Rotary Gents Aquaspeed - looks are similar, fraction of the price

I also have a fob watch

This is my everyday jobbie.

Bought one of these 5 or 6 years ago for being on time when making hospital visits (the ward staff got a bit tulipty if you were outside visiting tiimes),



Clean, uncluttered and above all, cheap. But haven't worn it since.

TW Steel Canteen Model. Oversized Face....

Understated (But mainly cheap...)

Citizen Aqualand Nx underwater but this is due for an upgrade in time for the next undersea adventure cos I can't read it at night*

Do you have to charge it up with a torch?

I'm tempted by a D9, but can't really justify it for the <2 dives I do a year.

*My first nightdive was one of the most enjoyably-scary sensations ever. You know it's safe but it's akin to the first time you stand on the glass floor in the CN tower and look down.

I want one of these:

And according to

The Harrison legacy in the "affordable quartz" era

it's not been improved on by much over the last 250 years.

So much for quartz & silicon.

Me: Rolex Datejust with salmon tinted dial / diamond indices / diamond cut bezel / jubilee bracelet.

Missus: Rolex Datejust with blue dial / plain bezel / jubilee bracelet.

Bought mine for £3.5k in 2002 but the same watch now retails for £6k, missus paid £1.8k in 2000 and they retail for £2.5k now.

However, this Casio has to be the weapon of choice for any contractor wanting to make his mark: BBC News - Casio F-91W: The strangely ubiquitous watch

One flash of that and you'll be taking waterboarding lessons.

Sensible.
When you're on your death bed and your life is flashing before you, your watch won't figure highly.
Your house in exotic Wandsworth will.
Life is about packing in as many experiences as possible during your fleeting time on this molten rock.

Oh I'm sure she'll sleep soundly now she has the sasguru seal of approval.

You don't have to sign off your posts, I'm sure we all know what you are.

Will the 2K watch show a better time than a 20 quid watch ? Just asking....

In that logic, everyone would buy a 2nd-hand Ford Focus and their clothes at Asda, because it is perfectly adequate.
