What time do you wear?

the watch i enjoy wearing most is a large, clunky, sinn divers model. i can read the dial w/out glasses. very pratical - no WAF just like my stereo system - its sort of large and clunky too, but great sounds.

Since last posting to this thread I have started using an Eternamatic Kontiki (autowind) chronometer. First watch (other than my Sinn) that never needs a time adjustment - all I ever have to do is advance the date on non 31 day months. Built like a tank! Cost less than $1000. Rolex users, eat your heart out! :-)

MRE2007, FWIW I've had a Sinn Chronometer/chronograph for about 8 years. Outstanding time keeper. It really is a chronometer. I loose less than a minute a month. I'm not familar with your selection, but don't hesitate just because most folks have never heard of them. I bought my watch in an auction on E-Bay for $825. It was a German model which was rebadged and imported - sold for retail in excess of $3500. I also picked up an Eterna-matic Kontiki chronometer in the same price range. Another winner. Unfortunately you'd have to put on a new wrist band as they both come with matching metal bands. You could probably find some rubber bands.

I'm confused by these last two posts. Rolex an everyday watch? For those who think its important to wear something on their wrist that everyone who looks will recognize and interpert it to mean that the wearer is 'wealthy'?

At least most people, except for watch enthusiasts, won't even know what and IWC is.

Now the test. Other than casework, what makes either of these watches superior to the two I mentioned on 4/18/7?

Brian, You are correct. The statement as a general proposition was unfair. But, I thought perhaps it would serve as a wake up call for those to whom it MIGHT apply. :-)

Bob, Nice watch! Three great reasons to own it. Some day my ship will come in..........:-)

Bought a Damasko D37. Not a dress watch for sure but a great tool watch. Actually its dial has a creme cast to it in most light and with a reddish leather strap to contrast the grey bead blast case it can pass for a sports watch. It is highly legible in most all light situations and the eye sight impaired (read getting old!) who don't like to wear glasses all the time. The most accurate watch I own - so far I'm -5 seconds since I purchased it a couple of months ago. Simple and rugged. Wish my audio system worked as well! :-)
