Do you wear a non smart watch?

Who remembers this watch from the James Bond movie "Octopussy?"

 

I saw this in a watch shop around the time of the movie (early '80s) and I think the price was around $200 (then) as I recall.  They are still knocking around Ebay.  Back then, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

 

LOL

Or wrist watch still?

 

I don't wear either.  But occasionally there's a place I'll go that doesn't want you to take out your cell phone.  

 

I haven't worn one since high school.  Phones kind of too me for the most part defeated the purpose of seeing what time it is 

 

Interesting topic I used to wear a Mavado but nowadays I wear a Fitbit watch that I use for a bunch of stuff and every once in a while change the face

Now here’s a topic I could talk about for hours. My biggest (and definitely most expensive) hobby is watch collecting. I have bought and sold well over 50 watches over the last five years or so. I’ve always loved watches, even as a kid. 
 

My current collection:

 

Rolex DeepSea (my daily watch)

 

Cartier Santos 

 

Rolex Cellini (my dress watch, which with working from home full time doesn’t get much love.)


Ming 17.09. This is a micro brand and probably my favorite watch. 

And of course a Casio G Shock. 
 

 

 

Nice!

 

I have a Submariner, Baum and Mercier Tank, 21 Zuan "seagull", Breitling Colt and a Frank Muller Conquistador.

 

But this is my favorite:  Tag Carrera 1964 re-issue (1996)

I wear an Omega 300Hz "tuning fork watch" given to me by Mrs flaz in 79. It has an inscription on the clasp that makes it priceless to me. I had it refurbished 3 years ago to the tune of 750 bucks. I probably shouldn't wear it on a daily basis but I do
