What watch do you wear?

A favorite. My birth year watch. Omega Pie Pan Constellation w/ c.561 chronometer. A true clssic in ever sense of the word.

From the days when Omega's movements were in-house.

On a positive note, they're in-house again. Unfortunately now, they cost as much as a house and are roughly the size of a house.

The leather strap is made by me, using remaining material of my homemade blade.

The buckles are from old worn out leather strap.

No all, that is of course unless you consider ETA in house since both Omega and ETA are part of Swatch Group. Even the coaxial escapement Omega bought from George Daniels and retro fit to an Omega 1120 which is really an ETA 2892A2 making the Omega 2500. It's the Omega 8500 coax that's "in-house" even though it still uses Daniels' escapement.

True....I was referring to their 9300 and 8511 movements.
 
My trusty old Seiko sits in a drawer.
I would much prefer an old-timey pocket-watch...
My watch, if I could choose, would be a thin Patek Philippe.

Haven't been on BF in a while... Current line up That I wear:

Sinn U1 (love it on an Isofrane, Nato, bracelet, Sinn Leather)


Omega SM300 new build on a Cordovan Leather Nato


Speedmaster pro


Seiko Tuna sbbn017



I will be giving the Sinn to my father, Selling a the Pro and a few others I dont wear and pick up a sub hopefully.
 
No pics at the moment, but I've been wearing my new Seiko Orange Monster for two weeks now and I absolutely love it. Awesome orange face, awesome bright lume, and perfect rubber strap!
 
I use to wear a G-Shock, til it went out on me... I've been wanting a new watch for a while now. I really like the Marathon watches, but I'm saving for a Sebenza, so that's out of my range for now. Today I ordered an Invicta 8926OB. I know it's not high even, but I love the looks and got it for $66 shipped. The reviews were pretty good, so I gave it a go.
