Watch Ya Wearing

[doug1066]

This week it is the Orient Mako in yellow. The infamous “Bumblebee” Mako.

Past couple days it's been my trusty Seiko Sapphire -

I love the way the indirect sunlight and the angle of the shot cast the tick marks and hands in a red hue.

Beautiful Connie. Love those linen dials. Your granddad knew his watches.

I'm glad you asked. Because until 4 minutes ago I didn't know either. This is from Invicta's Jason Taylor Collection. Wikipedia informs me he was a pretty good linebaker for the Dolphins. His jersey number was 99. He retired after the 2011 season.

I, of course, bought the watch on impulse, after a few beers, being cooped up at home hiding from The Red Death. I wanted a black PVD coated watch and these gold accents brought a little "pop" to it. By Invicta standards, I consider it downright conservative. I am considering putting one of these on it.

That is a relatively low-key Invicta, and a good-looking one, too. I almost always swap out bracelets for straps, so I say go with the chunky leather. Tan (the redder the better) will look outstanding against the black case and dial--especially if you can find a black buckle.

Citizen Eco-drive.

I keep meaning to get one of those. How big does it wear?

Not too large. I have pretty skinny wrists, and it wears smaller than most dive style watches. I'd say about the same as a Seiko 5 military style or a Rolex Oyster.

I've heard that each GS is assembled by an individual, master watchmaker. Do you know anything about that?

 

[Whilliam]

A modern classic, and perhaps one of my favorites from my collection. Pictures don’t do it justice. From the perfectly hand applied laquer and enamel, to the actual meteorite made moon, to the hand blued date hand a this watch is just a joy to get lost in.

That's definitely a wow!

Thank you!

Cool.
I love Casios! I use this one as a clock to wake up each morning:
(and I wear it at the office as its unpretentious)

The first watch I ever owned looked similar to that. I think I got i for my fifth or sixth birthday. I like that they still make them almost the same after 40 or so years.

Low rent G-Shock while I plan my next (hopefully!) backpacking trip.

I had a similar watch too as a kid. There is reason to be nostalgic about these watches.
The F-91W was introduced in 1989 and still is the most produced watch in the world. It´s dependable, reliable, and cheap. It has all the functions that the average man needs, with a battery life of 7 years.
I like it very much, but my wife finds it ugly.

I like clean aesthetics - found this in Cambridge (US) years ago - it’s a bit like a modern version of the skagen aesthetic and the only watch I wear:

Nice sunny day. Decided on my NOS pebble steel time, brushed gold.

Omega Seamaster AT GMT for the week

Acqua watch made by Timex. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done
