We have a Timex outlet near me that my gal and I will be visiting as soon as I have some spare $$. They have great prices and a great selection.

Not a great picture as it was taken in pitch black, but I do like this watch. It was a gift from my wife.

Those are actually kind of cool…. durability, accuracy, worry-free quartz + the flair of a mechanical balance wheel and automatic wind rotor to drive the seconds complication.

Some people like their wrist watches to be accurate:

thanks Kramer, sounds like you know a thing or two about watches…

Mmmm…. watches, another of my passions
Love Casio, actually. Best bung for the buck. There are much nicer watches out there, but for the price – Casio.
Right now I have this Edifice EF-318, very accurate, about 2 sec. per month (instead of, official, +/- 20 sec). My wrist is quite small, so not all watches are for me And I really like those G-Shock models, but they are too bulky (on my wrist, of course). So, I use my, ol’ known model – DB 36 – as my digital watch. It has everything that I need, but it’s not so ergonomic My other W-E11 model was much better in this aspect.

Lovely collection Kramer, I like the modded Seikos, being meaning to get a Yobokies mod for a while now.

Anyway here’s my EDC (crappy phone pic, gives a flavour tho’)

Yeah Seiko makes a great watch for the $$. Mine was modded by Michael Lively of WUS. Its a tribute to the original no radiation logo BP from the 50s…. but with Seiko monster hands. If you see a modded Seiko for a good price don’t hesitate, they generally go fast.

Just thought I’d BUMP this thread for the other watch guys with this Costco deal I saw a week or so ago…

One of mine

I have a couple watches, many I have broke over the years. : (

But my main watch is the one I’ve been wearing every day for years, it’s an old Soviet 1960’s Vostok. It’s my favorite watch I’ve ever had, it’s only had to be tuned up twice in it’s lifetime so far.

I love it’s ridiculous simplicity, it only has two modes, wind and set. I figure it’s been going for almost 50 years it’s gotta be good. Never have to change the battery.

I’m currently EDW-ing a Casio W-752, that I got at a 70% discount :bigsmile:

Had it about three years. I need something to tell 24 hour time, for work and I wanted to still see a regular clock face. Much more accurate and dependable than the timex watches I always used to buy. Bought it cheap on ebay.

I don’t take care of watches, so I needed one to take care of me, even if I wasn’t nice to it.

It is a heavy watch, but I don’t even notice any more.

Casio Edifice EFA 123

Its been a hectic 2 weeks, were all moved and our new place has a pool. Went swimming with the kids today and got to test a new water-resistant camera bag. Just some cell phone pics for now.

A Tale of Two Photos.

The photo on the left is professionally done, and is copied from Amazon.com.

The photo on the right is not-so-professional.  It was taken by an ancient 1.3 megapixels Canon PowerShot A10, in low-light with the flash on.  (My family's much nicer digital camera was not available.)

Damn fine edc, edc

Here is mine, Speedbird III Prs-22.

And this is how I wear it right now.

I’ve been a watch enthusiast for years, but at the time I got sick with flashlight, I sold many of my watches. These are the remaining.

G-shock mudman

G-shock gravity defier

Traser super sport

Orient Mako Blue

Vostok-Europe Vostok

I regret I sold my Citizen Promaster, sometimes…

I’ve owned only a few watches so far, but my wish list for watches is even longer than my wish list for flashlights.

This one is a watch I stumbled over in several forums and when there was the chance (and the money) to get a piece in good condition, I bought it.

Looks beautiful on photographs, but really lost its magic quickly (for me), so I traded it (or sold it, dunno).

btw:

Great watches in this thread, very nice to see other members on BLF share the same hobbies !

Always been a big fan of Casio…this is my EDC that I like a lot. Love having solar.

That must make it tough to keep the crystal from scratching as well as making it damned near impossible to play the piano well. Might I suggest wearing it on your wrist? :bigsmile:
