    One is my casual watch that I swap out different NATO bands on, depends on my mood!

    The other one is my work watch with a classic leather band.
    Very classy watch upstate! Reminds me of the 1960's. Love the look of the guilloche like styling done on the dial.

    I was joking around earlier....but that is funny. The main reason I gave up onnwearing a watch was changing the dead batteries. If I could find something that measured barametric pressure and didnt run on batteries, i would buy it.....

    Pressure readings, can't help you there. lol

    But I have not changed a battery in YEARS...

    Buy an automatic watch. Automatic watches will wind themselves as you move your arm. Boom! No more batteries!

    Yep, automatics are great! No more batteries, no more taking to some shady guy in the mall to scratch up the backplate trying to pop it out. I remember I had a kenneth cole watch that my wife gave me when we started dating.. I could not get the battery replaced, the watch people scratched up the back trying to get it out and gave up and gave it back to me.

    Poor watch, I really liked that piece too.

    Her arms must be covering up the Swiss Made designation on the dial.

    Looks very nice Zltful, like a military style dial layout. Sorry to hear about the Kenneth Cole getting scratched up on the back due to some incompetent bozo. :'(

    I know this feeling. Which is why I rarely take my watch off. Watches and a belt without them I feel naked and feel like my wrist is much lighter.

    I have a collection of low end watches, but the one I wear every day and actually put "wear" on with scratches from almost 20 years of use is my Omega Seamaster Professional. Dad bought it when 007 GoldenEye came out since it was Bond's watch. He gave it to me shortly thereafter and I have worn it every day since. I think I was like 12..... Love the watch and I think in my life I may buy ONE more like it to pass down to my kid(s). It's never failed me.

    Zltful, where are the function pushers for the subdials? I think I see one sticking out under the bezel by the 35 minute mark on the dial? Does this have the leather strap? I do like the color arrangement of silver,black and red highlighting.

    I have a nice Movado I don't wear (I won it/sales contest).
    I do have a few pocket watches, and way too many clocks for around the house.
    My wife makes me store most of em in a box in the garage now that we moved, but my office used to be wall to wall clocks, you could hear ticks in split second formats.
    Relaxing to some, maddening to others, then sometimes, a bit of both.

    I've only got a couple. The fossil, on the right, I bought 20 years ago while working a summer job @ $3 an hour. Put a new battery in it last month and it still ticks.

    My watch budget is nonexistent so I buy beer budget watches as well. Maybe after my $2k per month daycare bill ends in 3 years will I consider moving up the ladder. For now, I'm content.

    I've got a pocket watch somewhere in the house. I'll look for it and snap some picks.

    I wonder if pocket watches will ever make a comeback. I think it was popular before the advent of the wrist watch, no?

    Doubtful.
    Pocket real estate is at a premium with the likes of a wallet, change, keys, phone, pocket knife, etc...
    Add in a pocket watch and you might as well carry a purse.
