I like watches, fascinated by them; But I can't seem to wear one. I HATE things on my wrists. .. Maybe I was a convict, in another life. :hee

you are a Casio guy!
I like that story. thanks for sharing
I love watches. In fact I only wear "vintage" ones, manual rewinding types from the 50s and 60s.
Watches being accessories akin to jewels for men, it says a lot about who you are, love, or what you aspire to.
Being a registered nurse in France I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I can't really afford an Omega or a Longines.
Actually, I could if I wanted to, but it's mostly a matter of priorities, I prefer to spend my disposable income on guitars, amps & holidays and other stuff.
I am hopelessly middle-class but at nearly 40 years old I am OK with that perspective.
I have 3 watches that I wear on a rotational basis.
One is a "Lip", a French brand that went bankrupt. That watch belonged to my late grand-dad. Another one is a Swiss Tissot Seastar that I bought on auction about 10 years ago. The last one is a Hamilton, Swiss made that I stumbled upon in a "brocante" (kind of like a garage sale, but larger scale).
All three have been fully overhauled by a professional and work flawlessly.
