What wristwatch do you wear?

I think watches are cool but got used to not wearing one, and now I hate the feel on my wrist.

My wife wants an Hublot. We noticed in Curacao they seemed really cheap compared to the US, like 30% cheaper.

Do you have a picture of the Parsifal? I've never seen one.

It's a 12 year old quartz but it's so elegant and perfect with a white shirt with cufflinks



My sub stays on the winder too but I still love it so much that I can't sell it even though I wore it maybe 3 times last year.

Looks like regular yellow gold with a high karat rating.

The markers and hands of my omega seem very similar in color. I'm no camera pro and can't really get the color to show well in this pic.

Yeah, it is.

I haven't worn any of my watches lately as I work in clean rooms most of the day.

I have my stainless sub, my tag aquaracer, and an older self-winding seiko I got by way of my father and his father. They were easier to carry than the giant phone I've been lugging around.

Good cheap Seiko

this is the watch I have

citizen calibre 8700
love that its solar powered!

One of my quartz watches

speaking of watches, I don't wear my datejust on a regular basis and therefore, I am always having to wind it. Can someone suggest a somwhat reasonably priced watch winder? I did a quick search on-line and see the prices can get really crazy. Not looking for anything extraordinary.

On someone's suggestion (here, I think), I got my husband a winder from Wolf Designs. I also purchased a jewellery case for myself. Both pieces are lovely, exceptional quality. Also very good customer service!

For my 13th wedding anniversary New Years Eve, I got a Tag Formula 1 black and steel ceramic. It's a nice casual change from my diamond link.

Rolex recommends that you wind the watch 500 cycles per day in each direction.

These guys have watch winders for under $200 that are bi directional

Any good sources out there for purchasing? I've found a watch I want to buy, but don't want to go through a place like Tourneau.

What brand are you looking at?

Baume & Mercier. I have spoken to someone at http://www.alanfurman.com/ but I'm a little skeptical even though the reviews I've read are positive.

I'm a little surprised that you would recommend a winder that is bi.

Had this for a couple of months . . .

Had a "Smith & Wesson" watch for awhile, but it creeped people out.

Haven't worn a watch in 10 years. Prefer my cellphone instead.

I just replaced my old Raymond Weil Parsifal in Montego Bay Jamaica, last week.

I got the one on the right

plane jane seiko sports 5 handed down from my brother 10 years ago. he had it about 4 years prior. worn everyday all day even swimming and at the beach.
