I can usually get them to last around 10 years, only changing bands and batteries. Hah..that's what I wear everyday..in fact never take it off.I actually started wearing one when I started training for an Ironman! I also have a really nice Rolex..wife bought it for her father on his 50th birthday, he died at 52, so she wanted me to have it. He has been dead close to 16 years, I have worn the watch maybe twice.

Augie Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I gave up my daily watch days when I left banking. Still wear one of my two nice watches for nice events. The phone is the clock that never lies. My wife has some interesting stats about younger generations who have watches, but purely as decoration.

There’s nothing more accurate than the satellite time on your phone. My bedroom clock and my car clock and my kitchen/microwave can all be off a minute or two. Investing is another category all together. Agreed, I’m not a showcase guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulously hysterical! I have zero tattoos. I’m not sure what socks I wil wear tomorrow. My oldest son was covered in tattoos, and while we were disappointed, I thought no less of him for it. When good, he was my favorite person ever. He actually came to regret that phase, but each person has their own path. His younger brother is getting very close to a girl with “a few” tattoos“. She’s awesome! I try to respect the path each person chooses in life, as I think you know. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm a huge watch enthusiast and have owned many different models. Currently have about 6 or 7 in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our nug is semi loaded in ink...I guess that's his way of showing he's a warrior,of sorts.His mother,my bride ,really dislikes "them",I could care less.And talking about socks....if it wasn't for my gal,I probably wouldn't bother to shower and,or,change my boxers everday. Love the ones you want to hug the most. I can say,with a full heart,if it wasn't for her...I would have already been in the Lord's place called paradise city. 10 minutes ago, SinceThe70s said: Socks, tats, wristwatches...however you roll, I'm sure you do Augie exceedingly well.

Don't need to wind, move it or replace a battery, or set the time. I've got one of those. It's OK. Also 3 Seikos. I get irritated that the Seikos need a special tool to change the battery. That's a racket, but they are nice, dependable watches. I wouldn't spend a lot for a watch. They all give you the same info, so why spend a lot of money?

mrags Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) I’ve got about 12 watches. Only really wear 1-2 of them. A Casio Pathfinder for work and most of the time when out of work I rock a Government issued Marathon GSAR automatic.

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Yep. But not always been a wearer. There was a span of about 10 years through the mid-2000s & Teens that I didn't wear one. Now, last 4 years, began wearing one again. A basic analog Timex Expedition w/mechanical date, Indiglo dial, and black sport band. Anyway... I know which wrist to wear it on, always aggravates me to see people wearing a wrist watch on "wrong" wrist. You know they are a digital person don't & know how winding a wrist watch was supposed to take place and which wrist the watch belongs on. I think the wife does it just to piss me off. Oh... When there is only 30 days in a month... Or when you press to illuminate the dial... You should be glad you wear it on the "proper" wrist. 43 minutes ago, Marv's Neighbor said: I've got one of those.

Even better if they are wearing it on the right wrist. Edited April 30, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
