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.

There are plenty of audiophiles however for whom the only luxury in life worth having is audio equipment and little else - that too is a contingent of the "community".
Mitch4t,
That was very hilarious :-))))))))) Did you have your watch cryo-ed?
Mrtennis, I agree mostly with your understanding that audiophiles are probably more likely to enjoy the finer things in life. I think this thread is actually relevant on Audiogon because of that. In fact, I have a number of other things that I enjoy while listening to the music. Whether it's a nice glass of wine or wearing a very comfortable pair of slippers, it enhances the experience.

In fact, I decided to post a thread on what are audiophiles' favorite steaks to eat while listening to the system. Again, it synergizes with the music, and typically makes for a better music session (for me, anyway).

I wear a Victorinox automatic. Can't remember the model number, as it's several years old. It's most similar to the Divemaster, but isn't a divert watch.

Very solid and reliable. I wear it almost everyday. A great value for the $400 or so my wife paid for it at the Victorinox outlet store. I think it retailed for about $800.

If I had the money, I'd go with a Corum Admiral's Cup Trophy. One of these days, I suppose. Oris seems to make some very good watches in a variety of styles for somewhat sensible prices. Maybe once my 9 month old daughter is out of daycare.
My Omega Seamaster quit working! I had to get it completely overhauled after only 2.5 years of light (but regular) use. Luckily it was still under factory warranty since it has the "fancy" co-axial movement. But it was still a real bummer.

My Rolex GMTII-C is doing great though. I can't believe it but I'm getting +2 seconds a WEEK! Although I attribute that mainly to dumb luck. Either way though, I love this watch more than I ever thought I could.
