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.

A solid gold Raymond Weill, a Raymond Weill Othello (the really thin black one - a joy to wear), and a gold Breil. I find the Rolex just too heavy, particularly visually.

The truth, however, is that a lot of people who see you with one won't know the difference between a Patek and a Timex. When you get to the more subdued fine watches like a Patek Calatrava, a Breguet or a Vacheron Constantin, only a minor % of the population will know you got several thoudand dollars on your wrist. So...not so much vanity as appreciation of fine craftmanship.

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I wear it everyday and not a single problem after 15 years. Not bad for a fake piece of crap. Outlasted my wifes Movado by 7 years.
