Timepiece Enthusiasts?


Recommended Posts

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! :)

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

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.

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.

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

Anyway, I used to wear a chunky Animal watch, but I've become addicted to my computer and I just go by the time displayed down in the corner ^_^
