Post pics of your watches Part II

They can be quite reliable. I bought the one on the left here, in 1993 and it has run essentially non stop since - never serviced or needed repair.

I believe in those days the battery/capacitor was made of titanium and gold, which would go some way to explaining the longevity and reliability. It's Titanium and weights a hefty 51g. The Seiko, also Ti, weighs 114g

Hello there, relative newcomer to these parts

I don't know why they're all rotated in mad ways... Anyone who can offer advice please do so! But anyway, here's my modest collection:

Citizen J810 Eco Drive, with stainless steel bracelet swapped for rubber, making it eminently more wearable daily - the stainless one is easily swapped out for dressier occassions:

Seiko 5 Sports - my new watch/ Christmas present:

Orient Bambino with leather strap and deployant clasp:

W&W Chronograph - an Irish microbrand that were just getting started when Covid hit and unfortunately, they didn't make it. I like this watch, though:

Muji watch on tan strap:

The Horse D-Series on Nato Strap - Australian microbrand making clean, basic fashion watches, very wearable:

The last two are available for sale on adverts if anyone has interest, though I suspect the tastes around here are beyond those offering! My next watch will be my first step into the "luxury" market. Eyeing up a Tudor Black Bay 58 once the funds allow.

Yeah, I tried that and but they still roated when uploading here. I could save them to an image hosting site but frankly don't want to go through all that! Anyway, thanks for the response! The Orient is lovely and so versatile, but I'm excited by the Seiko and so happy with the Citizen now it's on a different strap.

Loving that Orient Dave!

The Horse one is nice in a bauhaus minimalistic grand design house extension kinda way;)

My San Mar_tan arrived with fractionally misaligned dial. Sigh. As someone who will get out bed to straighten picture frames or shoes it just, won't, do...

You can see it at 18 clearly

Movement in spec but....

...that's an improvement.

Finish is super, alignments good now, shes eh on time, very happy, well until....

Minimal enough banie01, four micro adjust. I have a supposedly decent quality milled sterile glide lock I may fit once it lands. They look great on a black silicone curved end strap too.

New Amazon purchase, bought the strap seperately. Seiko automatic movement.

Brilliant lol.

Seamless integration of design and functionality!

Yikes, there it is again.

A strong streak of self flagellation among the rolexati. I question the inverse relationship to please the AD so that s/he considers you favourably enough to receive the blessed nod to buy the product.

Here I was the same day in Dawson's. Quite like the YM2 but my kids are saying no

Not sure if you're reading me wrong, but I don't care about any relationship with any Rolex AD. I go in for a chat, try on their watches, take a pic, drink their bubbly and get a nice free shiny Rolex book. All paid for by our jewelry buying friends 😂

my brother in law likes these too, like your kids I have no idea why 😂

That watch design and layout was and is the basis for many to come because the fundaments are all there, it worked and form followed function.

If I were to buy a rolex it would be as simple and elegant as possible without overcomplication. They were afterall work horses.

Those were exactly my thoughts before I bought my first Rolex. I also wanted an understated watch. I bought the Rolex Explorer 214270

Simple three hander, who needs a date that you would have to manually change nearly every month anyway? Super sturdy and you don't need a submariner with one of those silly diving bezels, that takes away from the dial thus from the watch, if you don't go diving, right?

And 5 years before that I could not have imagined I'd ever even own a Rolex - they were for new money showoffs. So not for me.

Yet here I am now, several Rolex later and I am getting into the blingier ones. It's mad, but at the same time I'm glad that my opinions / tastes change (some say evolve) over time 😂

Unkel, for me, the pictured 214270 embodies what I would want from the brand. It's timeless, stylish and understated cool. The others you posted are garish in comparison imo.

For a long time I had set in stone no case size above 38mm yet today I'm happily wearing a king tuna, so I get that taste and appreciation can change.

Anyway, no one else's opinion matters one jot if your happy with what's on your wrist.

I'd love to see you one day buy that Explorer and then I'd love to see what Rolex you will own 10 years after that. I bet not the same one 😁

My current one is this. Have it exactly 2 years now, great watch, but a bit bored with it, want a change and I can't afford to keep it if I want another Rolex or anything else costing that sort of money!
