Watches!!! (again)

[Nadz1lla]

I prefer my simple yet solid looking watches. Here's my Nixon:


Needs a new battery but it's a really hardy piece of kit. Flew off my longboard once at a silly speed, and the only things that survives the wreckage were my Nixon watch and my Spy sunglasses (which have a now very tried-and-tested anti-scratch lens...it works!)  :lol: All my clothes got shredded, both my palms were skinned and I had deep grazing and pieces of flesh removed from my arms and knees. Watch and sunnies are fine and the longboard rolled off into a soft hedgerow, so the important things were all fine, hah!

Now that confused me until I googled longboard. I was always under the impression a longboard was one of the earlier types of surfboard. I was trying to work out how a surfboard got from the sea into a hedgerow.

Anyhow back on topic, I'm quite into the cuff style watches at the moment.

I've had an eye out for a nice pocketw@tch. If anyone knows a modern maker who does decent stuff that isn't silly money, I'd appreciate linkage.

I'd also like a monocle, but that's another story.

I came accross Zepplin watches when I was in my last search.  Look good for the money.

I've gpot my eye on a nice trench watch at the minute.  Think the old IWC and Longiness ones are gorgeous.

You'll laugh but I miss my old casio g schock, waterproof like nothing else (several watches broke at my wrist due to rain or washing hands...), yellow plastic wrist band and people always impressed as you were looking down to check time..  :D

The G-Shock was it when they first came out ... and you really had to try to break one. Easier to break your wrist ....
I had an Iron Man, always wanted a G-Shock at the time!

Don't usually like cuff watches, but that is a nice piece!

Although this is a rather expensive example......... but would go nice with my fountain pen  :D

When the hell did Casios become cool?

Still happy with my trusty Lorus. Classy but not blingy and accurate.
