What time do you wear?

I feel so bad about doing this, but I actually made my first Home Shopping Network purchase. I know, I know. I'm so ashamed. I bought these for Christmas:

Kessaris, his AND hers automatic watch set. Self winding mechanical movement. Made in China. I couldn't help myself. They look so similar to my favorite watch - a Breguet Marine.

I figure for the price - what's to lose. They certainly feel a bit cheap, but it is a metal case. We'll see how long they last before falling apart, or the crystal falling out, or the mechanism seizing up, or ...

But they do look nice.

Enjoy,

PS - My other watch is a Zenith El Primero.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner. Owned it for 15 years and it has never kept time as well as a $50.00 Timex.

No automatic watch will.

In particular a rolex with beveled gears, that movement always runs fast, its near impossible to get them adjusted right.

I got my Breitling Aerospace (two tone with blue dial face) about a month ago, and still smile every time I look at it.
Accurate to 7 seconds a year, with a function that makes the hour hand go back/forward one hour at a time, so you don't muck up EXACTLY what time it is when changing time zones.
I've looked at all of the expensive watches, but none has ever attracted me like the Aerospace, and I don't think any of the big names is more accurate.
I get some kind of smug satisfaction knowing that all those well-known prestige watches aren't nearly as precise, and with its titanium case and band, weighs virtually nothing while having a substantial feel.
