Watches! What do y'all have on your wrists?

[ErVikingo]

I have others but this is my favorite by far. My late father’s watch which he left me along with his Mirage, SAE, Meridian, etc. it’s a rare piece. It’s not a date just as shown on the face. Restorer couldn’t find the correct one. Its Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1530. Solid stainless case and bracelet; look at how it is different than the typical jubilee bracelet (both the bracelet and how it attaches to the case). Weighs a ton

...the Sinn EZM-1. ...

Ooooooh, that's bead-blasted titanium... about the most agreeable metal with the human body.
I have replacements body parts (pins/screws/plates) made of titanium.
I had the original Breitling 80360 "Navitimer" with a bead-blasted titanium case:

later w/a name-change operation

I grew tired of the fact that it had digititus in its guts, and gave it to a budddy on 'permanent loan basis'.

TAG Hoyer Heuer joins LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton).
Good or bad news?

Richest man in the world buying-out his own son's luxury brand. << perhaps, the fair example of nepotism.

Conglomerates, market consolidation and mergers is always bad news for the consumers and employees. Welcome to the robber barons of the 21st century.
Christ, how I loathe this corporate evolutionary path.

Pure Class. I believe ref 1530 is an Oyster Perpetual Date in Oysterquartz case & bracelet. Not a common sight!

@rdenney may like to know how you still have wrist-hair to talk about this shiny heavyweight.

Going to have to read the prior 43 pages to get your drift......

That’s a lovely watch—haute horlogerie at its finest.

Got me a (time) piece of the retro-digital action:

That watch looks like it's trying to be a Hamilton Pulsar (or it's modern relaunch, the PSR):

Yes, I wanted a Hamilton but they were sold out. As you say they are intended to be a retro take on the original Pulsar.

The Armitron was quite a bit cheaper than the Hamilton so there's that

I hate getting accused of OT; and NO! I am not worthy to strap one on my wrist.
If you wish you can stare at it all you want...

...but it is NOT going to tell you what time it is...

...or how to make it tell you what time it is...

Pressing the dragon’s head at two o’clock activates five different animations to come alive for a total of 16 seconds, driven by the LV525 caliber with jumping hours and retrograde minutes. A pink-gold dragon’s head swings across the mask’s forehead to reveal the hours while the tail points to the minutes, as the mask’s eyes and mouth also move.

I had to search to see it in action:
It has a (patented) governor; maybe because so many craftsmen and artisans had their hands in making each one.

Luis Vuitton, right.

Initially I thought it was a piece of KISS memorabilia.

I'm replacing another Timex or Marathon digital watch with alarm, night illumination and a decent sized display. I am looking at these 2 Casio watches. Both have advantages and looks that I like. The analogue one is kinda cool. Any ideas about what you think is cool for the price range or maybe a lil more but not much?

G-SHOCK GA2100RC-1A Black & Rust Series Watch

Black & Rust GA2100RC-1A Strengthen your look with G-SHOCK in a design evoking rusted iron that stands the test of time.These watches pay homage to the undying G-SHOCK quest for the ultimate toughness in neoclassic black and rust designs evoking the sheer tenacity of rusted iron.Sepia tones...

If I did not have the need for several alarms (after January, I won't), I would go with the most analog appearing of the 2.

Boring Apple Watch here. Although it is nice to have a simple remote (with volume control) on my wrist when I am streaming from my phone or iPad.

May I suggest an automatic (non-chrono) w/a second hand... optionally a date window?
Does not have to be an expensive or a flashy one:
Single crown, luminous hands, legible dial, non-leather band, bare (no coatings) metal, and a protected (or hardened) crystal.
The most important criteria is to get one having a reliable movement (100m) that you never have to crack open to replace a #$%^ battery!
Even if it means every month it is inaccurate +/-30 seconds.

You wan't 'sexy'? Get an exhibition back or 24++ jewels.

Well I bit on analogue digital hybrid watch and bought this one. $158 Canadian including shipping and taxes. A Casio GA2100 series with blue and tan accents.
