What Watch Are You Wearing Today?

I've been wearing my Hugo Boss watch for a while, but I'll have to give it a rest now because it needs a new battery. I guess that I'll be making a visit to the jewellers sometime in the near future. I've tried going without my watch, but I just feel awkward without it.

I hope that I don't get any bullshit thrown in my direction after this post. I got a load of insinuations about my honesty the last time that I posted in this thread (I had posted about my Longines watch, which I wear very rarely, as it is too expensive to "flash around"). I only own these two watches, and yet some posters on here were suggesting that I was a liar, which annoyed me. Some posters on this thread have far more watches than I do, and yet they don't get any flak at all. Just doesn't seem very fair to me...
I’m a bit of a Longines fan

Which model do you have?

Sorry, but I don't have a clue. I received it as a gift quite a few years ago and I no longer have the documentation that came with it.

I think it's a diver's watch, and it has a steel bracelet, if that's any help.

Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
 
Maybe a Hydroconquest? A long running and popular range...

It could well be, yes. The design of the watch in the photo looks very similar to the one that I have.

I think that you could have cracked the case. Thank you!

Now, everyone on the thread can finally see my watch! I hope that blows any suggestions of "bullshit" clearly out of the water now!!

@FJY I was one of those who mocked your original post but it was meant entirely in jest (can usually tell when something is tongue in cheek by the smilies.)

I had no idea you took it to heart, please accept my apologies.

Let's start afresh... Out of interest, have you considered changing the battery yourself in the Boss watch? Its a low skill task and the tools are inexpensive. Once you have the correct tool for removing the case back which will be less than a fiver, each subsequent battery change will only incur the cost of the battery, less than £2 for a Swiss one which in my book is preferable to paying a jeweller £20 for a 3 minute job. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable removing the case back I completely understand, some guys would prefer to know it's been done by a "pro" which is understandable.

That may be so. However, when posters on this thread (who don't even know me) basically call my post "bullshit", or in similar terms, then I do find that hurtful. Anyone who knows me personally would confirm that I am 100% honest, and the kind of bloke who doesn't make a habit of telling lies/bullshit/call it what you will.

So, basically I got targeted purely because I didn't have a PICTURE of my watch? That is something that could not be helped, because I genuinely DO NOT have any pictures of my watches. I don't have the means to actually take any pictures of my watches, either. I didn't realise that was a crime, and meant that I was leaving myself wide open to a load of insinuations and insults on this thread. It certainly doesn't mean that I am a liar, because I can't PROVE the existence of my watches. Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned trust, and giving someone the benefit of the doubt? I don't feel as though that has happened here at all.

Believe me, if I had any pics, then I would only be too glad to share them with you. Unfortunately, though, I don't. As I said, it's a question of TRUST. That is clearly not in abundance on this thread...

Nobody called you a liar.
I replied to your post when you said you didn't know how to post pictures, offering advice on how to do so.

Bullshit?? . . . . . I knew there was a good reason behind choosing to ignore your posts
