You sir, have exquisite taste (and deep pockets)

I am currently wearing a Shinola Runwell. Love this watch.

 

[Piso Mojado]

Seiko 5 SNK381
Crown & Buckle Gator strap

Yes, another Seiko 5

Obligatory lume shot

 

[SilentJohn]

today a casio GWA1100-1A3

 

[Ulf Krogstad]

None. I have a cell phone that tells me the time.

It doesn't compare to those I've seen in here but I've been wearing it for thirty years so that must count for something.

It sure does, 30 years is a stint and a half....I thought you were younger than that though.

This one today.

Today a Seiko SKX007 to replace the SKX173 I gave to a buddy in Afghanistan 1.5 years ago. Watch was delivered yesterday evening. I replaced the bracelet with a strap, and it has been on my wrist since. I'm now back to owning two contemporary watches.

I notice most favor analog. I do too, but I need a stop watch function available and I have gone to a couple digital G-Shock Casios (G7100 for example). I have better watches and noticed that I don't pay much attention to my watch fishing, so I want waterproof and Casio.

I...but I need a stop watch function available...

Good enough for Project Apollo. Good enough for me. Note in the movie, Apollo 13, the scene of the timed manual burn of the lunar module's engine. That apparently was accurate.

I'll be fifty in May. Don't tell anyone.

 

[RevDevil]

Seiko Orange Monster
Citizen Eco Drive Pro Diver

Two of the best watches I've owned.

 

[Halveye]

Been wearing an Akribos Skeleton, wind up (put it on a leather NATO type strap

The others I alternate through from top to bottom, Akribos, Luminox, Suunto, Skaggen (not running), and Dakota

Nice, I have one of the contemporary speedmasters but I had a hard time choosing between it and the moon watch. The sapphire crystal and date function swung it in the end but I sometimes wonder if manual wind would have suited me better. I don't wear it every day and don't feel like paying for a watch winder so I sometimes find myself waving it around to keep it going I know there is a manual wind ability but it just doesn't feel 'comfortable' in that movement if you know what I mean

Mine is a pre-moon speedy. 1967. Column wheel (Omega c.321) vs. lever actuated or cam actuated (Omega c.861 family) chronograph. Omega used the c.321 for only the first 11 years od Speedy production. In 1969 Omega changed to the c.861 family for manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction.

Grouch's Deep Sea is a classic and the Detroit made in the USA Shinola are very interesting choices! I like!

Good luck getting parts in the future for that 321. Omega is no longer supplying US watchmakers with parts.

No worries here. No luck needed either. I have many Omegas (and others) with harder to source parts, but I also have contacts to source both parts and work. I keep every one of my vintage Omegas (and the Speedy is the newest of all my vintage Omegas) in good working order. Regardless, Omega Bienne will service it, but I won't go that route because Bienne will replace hands, dials, etc. with contemporary parts thus killing the collector value. The key to collecting vintage watches is to know one or two COMPETENT independent watchmakers. I avoid factory service centers like the plague.
