A cheap Russian self-winding mechanical.

Built like a tank and weighs as much as one too.

wow i'd like to see a pic of that. my bf used to have a 1979 rolex datejust but he wound up reselling it on ebay for more than he paid for it. :)

whenever he makes his money, he says he might get another rolex, but a submariner. i told him good luck. :D

i have a citizen elegance watch, which is on the cheap side but it tells time. i'd like to get myself an eco-drive because changing batteries is a PITA. i used to work for a citizen dealer and i would buy watches at cost all the time. (how i miss those days... he sold a lot of other watches too that i could get at cost...)

This one was my dad's one of the few things I kept of his... It's only worth a couple grand, one of the cheaper Rolex's you can buy.

Looks like this

I have a dual tone Pulsar, the band broke like a year ago, I have been too lazy to get the band replaced, so I just use the time on my cellphone as my watch now.

I used to have a Seiko auto (was given as a present) and a Fossil (bought for around $100 from Dillard with a gift certificate from my former company). I think both of the watches are somewhere in the house.

I don't wear any watches or jewerly now. I am using my cell if I need to check the time. One day, I will slurp and get myself a nice looking watch. I do like the classic Tag watch.

I don't know about you, but I usually reserve my slurping for Big Gulps from 7-11.

No watch, I just look at the clock on my cell phone if I need to know the time. Any type of jewerly bothers me.

A few, but I just don't bother wearing watches anymore. Everything has the time on it now so I've realized I simply have no need for them.
