Not a watch guy. Havent worn one in 30 years other than special occasions.
Have one Rolex. Its nice. It was a gift (from a rich watch guy) cause I would have never bought it.

My Pulsar was the thinnest thing around in 1980 and may still be. Its about 2 quarters thickness. Ive always loved it. Wife bought it for me for somethin. So long ago we dont remember.

Nice! Looks like a Yacht Master 16622 just from a quick google search.

Obligatory “hands on steering wheel” pic...

This is the largest watch I’ve got.
Oris Titan 47 - as in 47mm

It was polished Ti, but that scratches waaay too easily.
So I t’s been bead-blasted by a gunsmith for a matte finish.

Standard 7750 movement, it’s more of an everyday watch for me... not really a beater, but I’m not afraid if it gets knocked-around a bit.

I enjoy this watch beyond what I paid for it

This site will host its own photos (mentioned) but for vids you need to use youtube or vimeo or the like.

Here’s my Sinn U1. It is a German watch and is made from German submarine steel. I banged this thing into every door frame I walked through for years, and it still doesn’t have a mark on it.

And here’s a Sinn 556 that I stupidly sold. It’s about 40mm I think, and is much smaller, thinner and lighter than the U1.

Shame, that's a beautiful watch

My Traser H3 is by far the most durable and accurate watch I've ever owned. Their customer service is another subject, but the watch is fantastic.

On arf it was mentioned the newer tags are not the quality of older offerings

I've had it for a couple years, don't wear it often, but it does keep really good time. It came with a nice leather strap, but when I was forced to wear it every day (while Traser was in for service), leather and sweat didn't jive for me. It's just too much of a pita to swap it back!

That's actually why I got my Seiko. The summer was taking a toll on me with the leather and didn't want to change the band on my Tissot, so I got the Seiko with the nylon strap. Probably going to change it to canvas though.

The company has turned things around lately

Their products and positioning was strong through the 80’s, then the brand lost its way. Products stagnated, sales dropped.

A few gears ago, Jean-Claude Biver, a rockstar in the watchmaking industry, took the helm with a mission to improve products, positioning and marketing.

The products they’ve come out with since then have been very good

Here’s a good summary article:

I have 2 citizen titianium ecodrive watches. Love the perpetual time one. I prefer the large faces since I'm big boned. When my father passed last year i inherited 2 Rolex watches. They were at least 10 yrs old. I ended up selling them bc they looked like womans watches when I put them on. My female cousin loved how they looked on her

If I ever get another Tag, it’ll be Monaco, either a McQueen (as in Steve, he wore one in LeMans) or a Gulf

I regret flipping this one, a Tudor Aeronaut GMT 20200.

Tudors are really nice watches for a pretty reasonable price.

Personally I'd really like an Omega. Either a speedmaster moonwatch or a railmaster. Those are my coveted watches to own.
