What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

Bob, Nice watch! Three great reasons to own it. Some day my ship will come in..........:-)
If you've got the money, I've got the time?
Whatever.

Got over myself and bought a used Rolex GMT II.
The thing is the most bulletproof mechanical watch I have owned.

Which will be relevant when the EMP of a nuclear attack or comet strike renders anything with gallium in it useless.

Fortunately, pure tube equipment will be unaffected.
As long as you have a power source designed by Faraday.

Wonder why all the tubes come from Russia or China?
Or the mechanical watches from Switzerland?

Buy American.
Save the world.
I currently have three that I wear. A Fortis Flieger Chronograph, a Sinn U1, and a cheap Seiko diver. Have had a few others that were sold due to lack of wrist time. But the three listed above make me happy. I do miss a Stowa Marine Auto I had :(
Much like audio, a well built quality piece ascends above the hype and becomes a classic. I think my 1955 Universal Geneve polerouter fits the bill. Wear it every day, never had an issue.
I have a few transition era antiques that I collect for their "beautiful things" factor. About as accurate timekeepers as Bose faithfully reproduces audio though
