Pams have become more mainstream now but something about them is just classic. I have become a huge fan of Bell & Ross watches as of late, you can see the one in one of my earlier posts. Another one that has grown on me are Uboats. Yes after you're done wearing it for the day you can take it off and hang it on your wall, but it's just something about them.

i think for me, the panerais were every cool when i first started to get interested about watches. but i guess after all the readings and photos of other watches, my tastes have changed. but yes, they are one of the classics, well at least i too consider them as a classic design.

i love g-shocks and the following is what i have -

G-Shock GW-M5600BC-1



G Shock DW5600FS-3JF aka Hero G - the g shock that is so ordinary yet hard to find.



G-Shock GW9200-1 aka Riseman



watches to me is about practicality and that's what i love about the G.

I'm one of them. Most durable, reliable, functional and accurate watch ever created. I have this watch for 6 years now, been to war & back in 100+ degrees weather, zero degrees weather, 24 hours sandstorm that causes you to cough up mud the next morning, endure extreme shock (from weapons firing), etc...

After all that, it still works like a charm & 100% accurate due to it synchronize with the atomic clock every night. Never need a battery since it charges via solar power, have night light function, record time memo (useful for Law enforcement of documenting when something happened), stop watch, 4 alarms, time zone of every country.

Sounds useful. I might have to look at one for my next deployment. Here's mine.


I like Fossils too. I use this one to go out with.



I usually wear it with my ceramic tungsten bracelet.



Left one out for running and biking.

Hmmm - I am left-handed and wear a watch on my right wrist, so because those 'analogue style' watches have the 'winder' knob on the right I would never buy one (totally the wrong way round for me).

I live on a planet designed for right handers - but don't get me started on that one

Honestly one of the few Omega's I like. You seem to have quite a solid collection. Do you have a pic with all of them together? They always look so awesome when it's just a bunch of time pieces together.

I don't know anything about watches or aviation but I've always wanted a watch from these guys:
