Favourite watch - Which is yours?

Despite being an MG enthusiast and, in common with many others, a bit of a watch enthusiast I do not own an 'MG' watch.

The recent limited edition 1950s MG TD radiator grille inspired offering looked OK until I spotted the price ..£1400 :slapme:



There have been quite a few other watches featuring the MG logo but not many have particularly interested me.. I would however love to own a 1960's MG Heuer Carrera



Back to subject of the post - Your favourite watch...

Of the watches I currently own (17 :whistle: ) these are my current top three, in no particular order..








What's the favourite watch you own?

I don't wear watches much anymore, as the mobile phone does that job now, but I do have some nice time pieces. Proper wind up analog mechanical devices, not a digital readout or battery amongst 'em!

I've had one of these since I was 16.
Omega Flightmaster.

I inherited my dad's Omega Speedmaster and Omega stopwatches.




Note these pix have been harvested from the net as I couldn't be arsed digging out the watches and taking pix of 'em

I'm like you Cobber I don't often wear a watch these days either, but my favourite one would have to be my old Citizen Aqualand, 30 years old and still going strong.

Haven't worn a watch since I retired just over 12 months ago.

The time is going by quickly enough without watching it

Haha, it must be a retirement thing, I too haven't worn a watch since I retired.
When I did wear a watch I wore a Seiko Diver's watch mainly


I do have two fob watches. One was bought for my 21st birthday by my Granny. A Swiss Rodania with a mountain scene of Chamoix on the cover.





And a silver one that I have been unable to locate for a while. It's in the house somewhere! :shrug:

edit:- I also have my late father's Omega.

I wear several watches, depending on my mood - but have always seen them as a fashion accessory and never invested huge amounts...

Latest addition is an Invicta S1 (it's mainly the pattern of the band I like):

I like Seiko watches and have had an SQ100 for almost thirty years now.I bought the one below it a few years back.The police watch is my latest.

My daily drive in watch terms is a Citizen Eco Tough (titanium with a solar recharged battery) on a NATO webbing strap which supports all sorts of water sports (the strap doesn't absorb water and is long enough to fit over a dry suit).

Here it is:



This week however I'm mainly wearing on of my Russian mechanical watches. It's a Vostock sailor watch:



For a bit posher I either wear a Seiko Diver (mechanical) on a really nice 'deployment' strap or a Russian Slava mechanical with upside down numbers:



And just to show that David A and I share the same taste in leather (furniture) here is my fob watch (not as fancy as his):



Would you also like to see my collection of 'man bags'?

Some beautiful works of art on this thread. Nice one Paul. :broon:

My Grandad's watch, that he got after 30 years in a factory, is mostly sentimental to me. I daresay it's worth a few quid too though. Although, I'd never part with it. I loved the old boy too much for that. :yesnod:

:beer:

Thanks to each of the contributors, what wonderful inspiration, I'm putting together my 'wanted' list now.

Keep them coming. :woohoo:

I wish it were a retirement thing, but at 47 I have more than a few years to wait, particularly since our government have decided that anyone born after January 1966 will not be able access their superannuation until age 70.

I always wanted one of these, but I cannot ever see me being able to afford one;
