What time do you wear?

Aball, if a hifi stereo is considered jewelry, and an iPod is considered enough, I guess I might be a bit overdressed. Guilty as charged.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chrono

had rolex explorer two for 10 years. in i989 they cost around 1000 dollars, in 2010 they cost 5000. i sold it for more than i paid for it and it was heavily used to say the least. but the crystal is 600 plus i believe and tuneups every 3 years are very expensive. so best cheap cool watch is the sieko orange monster. can be found for 160 dollars. my current favorite is the hamilton khaki frogman. can be found for 600 dollars and uses a swiss movement installed in many 3 to 4 000 dollar watches.i really enjoy it and its not overly large as is the current industry style. so many watches so little time ha. interesting thing about the rolex is that it sliced me open chopping wood several times. anybody else have that happen?

You really shouldn't be wearing your Rolex (or any other mechanical watch for that matter) while chopping wood. I know the Rolex movement is extremely robust but the incredible shock and impact of wood chopping is sure to but severe stress on the movement. Also, you really don't need to tune it up every 3 yrs, I waited 18 yrs to tune up my Oyster Perpetual Date and it keeps fantastic time.

i was an iron woker and wore it every day for ten years to see if it could take it,,, never a hitch except the clasp will slice you chopping wood or swing a golf club or hoisting sail at the regatte. what are you takinf=g about?, you got 18 years,, i know people that got 2 yrs ok? you think your experience defines every user? what did you do, wear yours to the opera to test its robust movement? i buy good stuff to use it. talk to a factory trained tech and see how often he recommends a tune up
