Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

yeah that's why i like watches running on CR2016, CR2025, CR2032. really low-cost cells available anywhere. i install the batteries myself, silicone grease on the o-ring, kinda like on a flashlight but a lot lot less

before i was into flashlights i was into watches .... heavily lol

here are a few that are left of a once large collection

sorry for crummy quality cell phone pics - wife has camera and is away for weekend

My photo host is having issues (=> No pics shown in any of my reviews, sorry about that!), so I'll post photos from net.

My current EDC:

My previous EDC:

LUMINOX SAS edition.. cool watch....

thanks

Not bad for a low cost Automatic from a reliable manufacturer!

I have to seriously think one of these as a work-user / beater.

Lensman: If you tend to break or lose your wathces, there are similar skeleton-look automatics available very cheaply on eBay.

Maybe not as classy and quality may vary:

As far as I know, at least some Rotary watches use Sea-Gull movements in them.

Check this out, looks pretty much the same to me: http://www.good-stuffs.com/Sea-Gull-M182SGK-gold-colored-skeleton-automatic-mechanical-watch-_p_70.html

I collect 1960's and 1970's Rado autos, and this one has been getting quite a bit of wrist-time as of late. It's a Rado NCC 101 with the "Fish-Tail" bracelet.

What kind is that?

Looks a lot like this one + different strap : http://www.watches88.com/pd_seiko_mans_automatic_snke63.cfm

I love those Seiko 5s.

Here's the one I keep coming back to. Picked it up off Ebay from seller Miltary Watches Mall.

On a forum dedicated to eeking out bang for the buck, I can't say enough nice things about his watches.

I have been getting this weird urge to get a VCM...

That's correct. I had mine bead blasted for a military look.

This one today:

I own some cheap LED watches and a automatic SWATCH. The last one I have got is this one:

Here's my budget ones.... (compared to the real branded horological timepieces)

I got a Timex Expedition today. My Timex Wrap Around nylon/velcro band arrived and worked out great with my existing watch until I noticed that the battery needed changing and I broke the watch doing that :)

The Expedition came with a similar band but it had metal buckles at the end and I didn't like the way they worked. This watch isn't quite as big as the Timex Helix (DM) dive watch that I had but it's decent and the "indiglow" night illumination feature works quite well.

At least I've now found the perfect watch band for me.

Sure... Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I have a few more watches than this, but these are the ones I wear most often.

Kramer, Excellent watches - mainly "divers"!

Have you tested the Marina Militare (it's an homage I believe) in terms of waterproofness?

Can it be used for swimming or snorkeling?

I bought a MM from manbushijie last month and was wondering if it can handle "water" more than a shower or washing your hands!

I am not sure about water resistance. I have splashed it lightly, but I have never submerged it. I took the caseback off to clean out some dust and the gasket makes a nice tight seal. But I didn't pull the crown so I have no idea how well the stem is sealed. I also am not sure how well sealed the front and back crystals are.

one thing you could do is open it up, pull the crown + movement. Set the movement aside and case it back up. Dunk it and see if moisture gets inside. I have done this on a couple of my Invictas.

Kramer:

Wow, what collection you have there!

Is that a CRKT Hammond Cruiser with one of your Invictas?

Yeah its a serviceable blade. I pack carry it, too big to EDC IMHO. Good ergonomics for a medium sized hand. Its a hollow grind with a chisel edge though, a lot of people don't like chisel grinds.
