Well that got weird.

For watches, I have my beat-up automatic Timex from '72 or so(my everyday watch), a Hanhart Luftwaffe, a Chopard Mille Miglia, and a Breitling Super Avenger.

Pics or GTFO as the kids these days say.


Deplorable internet shorthand aside, you have a point, TWD! Sorry, I haven't been able to post from my cell phone for some reason... on the laptop now. Below is from L-R: Timex automatic(c.1976, not '72 or '73), Chopard Mille Miglia, Hanhart Luftwaffe, Breitling Super Avenger.

I've collected these over the last ten to twelve years, the last one being the Timex on the left(for a princely sum of $18 + postage off eBay). I've been out of the game for the past four years or so, since preparing for and enjoying being a dad... I'd say the Mille is the classiest, the Breitling the most garish, the Hanhart receives the most compliments, and the Timex is the most versatile.

That’s a nice selection there B. I also heavily lean towards ‘sports’ watches and I’m always curious as to what motivates people’s choices.
I sat on a plane next to a lad who had a blue dial Breitling Superocean Heritage on a mesh bracelet. The one with the two side by side sub-dials. I often think Breitlings look way too busy - especially the Nacitimers - but that was a classy looking set up.

^ funnily enough it caught my eye a few days ago but didn't click until now, all good clean fun!

The Rolex datejust is looking better and better to me: either blue dial, or white dial with 'roulette wheel' (alternate red and black dates)

As you can see on my brother's old one it has just the word 'date'.
I remember that it was a bit boring to set the date.

^ yes, lots of little variations to ponder upon. I can see why people can get into this
