Watches seem to be a popular point of discussion so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone has and what everyone enjoys wearing the most.

I have probably 6 watches for various occasions. I am still pretty young and I don't have the means of buying myself an extremely expensive watch. My nicest watch was a gift from my dad.

By far my favorite watches to wear are Suunto. I have three of them.

These are not my photos.

Suunto Core - All Black



Suunto Vector - probably my go-to watch and most durable one. Mark Wahlberg wears one in the movie Shooter







Suunto X-Lander




One of my dressier watches is a Burberry watch my wife gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. Very simple and great for nicer occasions. Actually get a lot of compliments on this watch and I don't think they still make them, but I think you can find them for sale on the internet. (Great watch for work, too).



My two nicest watches were given to me by my dad.

The first one is an old Seiko Chronograph that my dad always wore ever since I was a kid. At one point I was thinking about buying a watch and he gave me his instead. It looks like the one in the picture below, except I took the gold band off and replaced it with a nice alligator one. The all gold looked kind of gaudy on me. I don't have a picture of mine but I found this one on the internet



By far my nicest and favorite watch is a vintage Omega Seamaster that belonged to my grandfather. It is about 50 years old and is by far the nicest timepiece I own. We had to get it reworked a tad due to regular wear over the years, but I love it and I also love the old school band on it. These are my own personal pictures of my watch that I posted on Watchuseek to try and get more info about the watch.





Used to have a trusty little Timex, but I gave it to my brother. Watch was reliable and could withstand anything.


I know lots of you in here have badass watches. Also I know there have been similar threads, but I am bored as shite at work today and need something to discuss.

I found one like this in my golf bag when I cleaned it. No idea where it came from. Had a chinsy little gold band on it which I broke. It's a bulova accutron.

Guess I need to fix it.


Have a variety of fossils laying in my lap desk, a few timex junkers, and a DKNY i believe.

I have a 18k gold pocket watch which belonged to my wife's grandfather as well.

I don't really wear any of them.

I've been looking very hard at a ww2 Nazi aviator watch. The quality was outstanding and there aren't any swastikas on it or anything. Just have to find one I like that has the swiss movement.

My boss wears a fricking Samsung smart watch and thinks he's the shite. I want to rip it off and smash it every time I see him.

My everyday wear is an O&W AS 2063 like this one that I wear on a black and white NATO band.



I also have a cheap Vostok that I bought on ebay so that I could crack it open and fiddle with the movement.



I also have a cheaper Citizen Quartz that's a little dressier looking, but I rarely wear it.

At this point I don't have the funds to buy a nicer watch, but the one that I have been thinking about lately is the Omega Speedmaster. I'll have to do more research to determine what exactly I want when I get closer to being ready to purchase my first real adult watch.

i'm sure it kinda raises my douche factor.

i don't think it's the shite, but i also don't spend tons of money on watches, knives, or sunglasses. i've lost and broke too many of them. my main reason for getting one with notifications is that i like to look at my watch and say "hey, i don't want to talk to you." without getting my phone out of my pocket.

I wear one like this every day. It was my fathers watch, I got it when he died. The clasp has our initials and the year engraved.

I have a Seiko as well, but it's old as dirt. I couldn't find a picture of it online without knowing the exact name and everything. Good looking watch, though.
