chiromikey Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 i've gotta suspect the appreciation for quality and craftsmanship we share for jdm gear must spill over into the watch world so i thought i'd find out. i'm sporting my all time fav...ulysse nardin marine perpetual. so...what are you wearing today???

DaleUK Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) For me it's either my JLC or Omega Speedmaster Moon watch( glass both sides) The Speedmaster lives in the Golf Bag as I wear my watch left handed( on my right wrist, and I just CAN'T play golf with it on my wrist!) The JLC only comes out every now and again!!.... Pics added this evening!! Edited July 5, 2012 by DaleUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eca Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm one of those that don't wear one lol.. Only piece of bling in my body is a single diamond stud earring & of course my wedding band lol. A few watches, gifts, all gathering dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Metal allergy denies me any kind of jewelry unless it's at least 22 carat gold, silver or copper. Even very good plating leaves marks on my skin. Friends used to use me to test gold necklaces. Shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 wow! did they take the whole safe or figure out a way in? it was in a safe/watchwinder. sized like the ones they have in hotels. it was an inside job. the perp is in jail, unfortunately this has been planned well in advance and items were fenced off within the hour.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm sporting a brit. It was this or a stainless daytona, everyone told me go with the daytona but I wanted modern. Watch snobs hate the bezel but that was the main reason why I bought it. It came with a stainless strap but later I swapped it out for the black alligator band like below.

swisstrader Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 For years I was a big watch collector, but between golf and other activities, just too much work to constantly put on and take off, so now I simply dont wear one. Same for the younger generation. Between constantly knowing the time on their cell phones and computers, most of them, at least in the US, view watches as very old fashioned.

chiromikey Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 wore this today (see...i'm not a mechanical snob!). it's nice to know titanium isn't just for drivers! there's a story that some of you who know what this is may find humorous. i was flying back home to the sf bay area last year and as we were boarding the pilot was still standing outside the cockpit door. as i shuffle in he gives a nod toward my wrist and says "nice, do you fly?". i didn't get it at first until i checked to see what he was gesturing at. i looked down and said, "oh...no, but i wore it just in case you don't either." there was an awkward silence for a split second and i had just started thinking either he didn't get it or didn't appreciate my sense of humor when we both started laughing.
