Trying my vintage Timex Racing watch from 1978 on an expandable bracelet. Hand winding, 38mm diameter and 18mm lugs. Have a good weekend all....

Tag Heuer 2000 classic today. 10mm thick, 37mm without crown and 200 metres water resistant. Very comfortable to wear for a grab and go. Taking a slight break from the manual winds. Have a good long...

That's nice Chris. Does that have the domed crystal? Looks flat from the photo.

I saw a couple of watches with the black bezel in different dial colours in Bluewater.(I think they were the same model reference, I'm not familiar with them I'm afraid).

They looked very...

I have a couple of series 2000's which are probably around the same age give or take.

They are quartz, but I've never noticed them stopping and then starting when I've worn them.

My black...

Monogroover - Thanks for those links and interesting post, OP.

I had watched A Hard Days Night last week with my kids, and noticed Ringo wearing what looked like a gold dress watch on a bracelet....

I'd be up for that.:thumbsup:

To answer the OP's question, for me I try and wear all my watches, some of the time. But, I tend to favour the lower value watches to my higher end on a day to day basis (especially during the...

Alas I'm in that camp too. Can still see my Sub to read the time, but find it hard to read the date even with the cyclops. A normal date, I've got no chance.

That's nice. Has the maker's name rubbed off over the years, or did it come with a clear dial like that?

Indeed. Lovely dress watch, and top quality too. If I'm not mistaken, this watch is a manual wind? Rolex don't do too many of those movements nowadays. That's a treat for me.

Vintage Timex. 1977 automatic. Keeps great time. 36mm but wears mildly larger due to the squared off case. Completely proportionate on my 7.5 inch wrist. Love the rotating bezel and orange seconds...

Thanks Sundial, very interesting and clearly a professional. He says how easy it is, but for someone like me, it isn't. You need all the tools and knowledge of what you're doing.

Out of interest,...

The Rolex - prefer the size, face style. Prefer the date at 3pm. Looks great on bracelet and straps.

I like the dial and I think the blue is a nice touch. But if it's 45mm diameter, I'm assuming you don't have a problem with the corresponding thickness and weight of the watch?

If the model...

My black faced version just recently acquired. 37mm, light, thin, quartz grab and go. 200 metres water resistant. Wore it in hols recently. Very comfortable. HAGWE all....

Interesting assumption, but not sure I agree. Just got back from a couple of weeks in Turkey, touring the country, both town/cities and far out places in the middle of nowhere. Ended up in a 5 star...

My first Swiss watch. The most comfortable I own. 9mm thick; 37mm diameter; grab and go and fits under any cuff. Nice and accurate too. Sometimes a 90's quartz sports watch just hits the spot. Have a...

Yep, I have this link for my bracelet, and it makes all the difference.

For me it was a Rolex with the coronet on it. But although I had the coronation on the tele today, the wearing of the watch was pure fluke. I think no matter what one's view on the monarchy is, it...

As I don't send expensive items through the post that often, I wasn't aware of this. So thanks for the info.:encouragement:

This sums it up for me too. I prefer vintage these days, but also a bezel for timing lunch/tea breaks etc. So sports watches, that aren't dive watches (and smaller with manual wind movements) from...

Nothing coming through for me.

I had this watch but moved it on.

The size was nice - accurate and a real looker.

My only concern was that the numbers tended to disappear in low light. The luminous paint isn't strong, but I...

The perfect rough and tumble watch.

So why is it obvious that you'd flip it after your holiday. Won't you have future holidays too?
