    Only off to shower, weekly cycle, mixture of quartz and auto. I have a very low opinion of people who can afford a watch, don't wear one, and ask me what time it is. :pukeright:

    Don't forget that the post that sticks up may create significant tension when closely involved with a significant other. :twisted: Might require some occasional maintenance, too.

    I'm wearing an Elgin automatic purchased by my father around 1965. He died in 1975 and I let the watch lie in a drawer for 25 years. I took it out 4 years ago and wear it about once a month for a...

    Re: 24-7

    24/7 except for shower. Rotate once a week and Goldbird on Sunday or other special occasions. I still think it's cool to see the great lume at 3AM on Eddie's speedbirds.

    There's an old saying with a lot of truth that it's difficult to scam an honest person. What is anybody thinking that's paying $75 for a watch with a "retail price" of ten times that?
