What time do you wear?

A Tag Heuer for everyday use. My grandfather's gold Hamilton retirement watch (circa late 40's) for dress.

I saw this vintage 1930's Ebel Sports Classic in a used watch shop on Melrose street like 10 yrs ago. It was love at first sight. 4 years later, I tried to go back to that shop and buy that watch with my first paycheck, assuming that watch wasn't sold, or they had another one similar to it. But, I couldn't find that store. So, I bought a new one. I am not a big spender, nor do I usually wear watches. But, I never leave home without that watch now. I get nervous when I don't wear it. I am afraid I'd lose it.

Timex Ironman Triathlon. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking (well, it would if it were mechanical). For a reasonably cheap investment, it performs the job admirably. As a kid I used to have a thing about watches - mostly seeing how well they lived up to the specs emblazoned on the case (shock proof - well, wonder if I can drop it from 10 feet?; water resistant for how long?). I've beaten the hell out of the Timex for a number of years, and besides replacing watch straps - it's been remarkably reliable.

nothing.

all the cell phones, pagers, PDAs, plus the clock in the car, really no need for a separate time piece.

Interesting that this thread comes back into circulation, I thought it was deleted! I just got a new toy in my collection, an Alain Silberstein krono2 with tons of extra goodies! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it set properly and make sure it always stays wound, or it'll take another 2 weeks to get it set again! Those who know what the Silberstein's look like know how fun it is to see in action.
