So this isn't just a 'What are you wearing today?' thread but more of a historical type thread, one that you can list those long since gone watches you've owned and your current new favourite.
I know for some of you, this will certainly be a challenge, I've never been a watch collector, just sort of searching for that one, almost as bad as buying knives!
I can't recall my very first watch, I'm guessing it was a Victorinox as I favour the more no nonsense style of watches;
My grail watch, one that I do miss the most but had to part with for financial reasons, such a great layout and look of this watch;
while that was getting serviced, I picked up this Timex
This one was close but needed to have a black face for better readability in low light when not using the indiglo feature
one of my oldest watches I've owned
I have a pretty old SAK that I will post up later, waiting on a new battery to see if she'll get back up and working and then I'll post that one up forsale...battery came in, here's a shot of that older SAK, pretty retro
Had this one but didn't wear it, long story but it looked nice
a gift from my younger brother on my 60th birthday, a TANK of a watch, very cool, I wear it when am in need of a workout
and my most recent watch, so far it's the closest I've gotten to my Grail without breaking the bank
SO, lets see what you guys/gals have or had, there is a 10 image limit so you may need to stack them up,
