The watch I wear the most is a Fossil Speedway. My wife gave it to me for the first Christmas we spent together as husband and wife.
Sometimes I'll wear my grandfather's Hamilton, but I'm not a huge fan of yellow gold.
I've got my eye on a couple of vintage Gruen and Boluva watches. Saving my pennies to get one for me and my wife.

I started a post on Seiko watches and it ran to many pages- it seems we have a lot of watch lovers here.

I am mainly a Seiko man but here is my newest addition to the collection, inspired by a member here on the forum who had one (sorry I can't off the top of my head remember your name!)
This wont be everyones taste, I guess you will love or hate it....

Just got this back.
I picked up this Sinn 203 in Vienna about eight years ago. It was soon after the euro was implemented and I paid for it in dollars so I worked a double good deal at the time.
About a year and a half I busted the stem trying to reset a loose crown (don't ask).
Sinn doesn't have any official US service anymore and the only distributor is watchbuys' online site, so getting parts has been a problem. A pal of mine was stationed in Germany last year, so I sent it to him and had him bring it directly to Sinn in Frankfurt this summer.
I thought I was going to sell it when I got it back; with the reversal in exchange in the euro the past 8 years plus them not really available domestically plus Bell & Ross no longer selling their rebranded Sinns I'd make a tidy profit as their retail/import price has gone up more than a bit along with their exclusivity, but now I want to keep it for now.
They really polished the snot out of it.
