What watch do you wear?

It used to be traditional for companies to give long time employees a watch upon retirement. That tradition is long gone, but I'm a long time employee who is laying down the slide rule, so I bought myself a watch.
This is the 37 mm version. The regular version is 44 mm. I've had a 44mm watch before, and did not like it because it's just too much watch on my arm. This smaller one, I like.

Enjoy the upcoming and deserved retirement! Those Citizens are a great daily wear timepiece.

great pick. I got an eco drive promaster diver thats at least 17 years old now....still running and doing fine.

trick to eco drives is constant light during the daytime. no dark drawers or boxes. sunlight matters on charging better. I keep all mine in glass top box under a skylight. they'll run for about forever with minimal unscrewing the crown to adjust the date. maybe once a month or two and course calendar for short months. gaskets will hold up longer than a quartz with every few year battery changes and auto with often crown unscrewing time resets.

also congrats on retirement....I keep daydreaming about it, but feel I'll die on the job sometimes......
 
24 Hour Dial Analog Watches ??.

I want one , but I cannot find one where I live :(.
If you have pictures , I would really like to see them.
Thanks.
 
I've had this fella for over a decade now, but maybe a year ago it started gaining time something fierce. I figured it needed servicing, and put that on the list of things to get to at some point.
It occured to me just last week to maybe try a demagnetizer on it before I sent it away, and whaddya know? Now it's back to keeping proper time again, and I didn't have to bother w/ the post. I'm gonna take that as a win. Nice to have it back in the rotation.

Congrats! Lockheed right? Beautiful watch!
 
Lately I bought more watches than knives, today I rock the Citizen EO2020, as I truly enjoy this small diver :)

But wait, there's more... My favourite watch at the moment is this RZE Endavour:

Another new one is the Casio Oceanus S100 in Black: An amazing travel /GADA Titanium watch with Solar and Atomic timekeeping:
