sniffles Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I have a fetish for wristwatches. Unfortunately my financial situation prevents me from aquiring some of the timepieces I most desire... IWC, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex etc. I still dream however. My current watch is an ORIS BigCrown Date/Time which was picked up an a trip to Lucerne a few years ago. Not super-expensive but a good mechanical instument no-less. The style is classic and practical. Any other watch enthusiasts? Post up a picture of it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatnipOligarchy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 mine. i learned from trivial pursuit that almost all watches will be shown at the time of 10:10 in advertisements.. it makes people think of happiness and fun or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmate15 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Havent worn a watch for about 5 years now. My phone is good enough to tell me the time. Sure, watches are cool, but I find them uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, watches are cool, but I find them uncomfortable. I think this is true with a lot of people. I see fewer and fewer people wearing wristwatches these days. Time is readily accessible via a cell phone, laptop or PDA. I wonder if the wristwatch will eventually go the way of the pocketwatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My watch. Simple but elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimGuy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Don't have a picture of it, as I just got it for my 20th birthday. Bulova Bracelet 96B75. Weighs next to nothing. IMHO, a really sharp looking watch for any occasion. It's pointing to 10:10 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
