What Watch Are You Wearing Today?

[Missoni]

The venerable SKX, in this instance the 013; originally purchased for its intended purpose, which it served well. An ISO certified watch at a reasonable cost...it now resides on a lather strap.

Missoni am I right in thinking that the SKX's successors arent ISO accredited?

I am really not sure; the SKX line, as far as I am aware, has been discontinued although I suspect there will be plenty of NOS for many years to come. Seiko appears to be re-positioning itself, hence the increase in prices but I am not persuaded quality has followed suit. Although the SKX served me well, my little £7, F-91W, was strapped to my stab-jacket and also regularly went to 50m with no ill effects, and kept better time!

The most hyped watch in history. Its moon landing connections have been and still are flogged to death by Omega.

The usual 'work watch'. Titanium Pulsar. Cheap but perfect

I'm not familiar with Pulsar but trying to remember where I've seen the woven detail before.

Kind of honest value watches. Think I only paid around £70 in a sale which for titanium is quite outstanding. Has lasted the distance so far and sits comfortably on the wrist.

Is it Auldemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo? Probably not, that is more like a square box weave pattern; as previously stated, my favourite watch.

I've never owned a Royal Oak but I've got a Breguet with a textured face but a finer pattern than the Pulsar havent got it handy for a snap but Ian Blowers kindly let me use this..

The Royal Oak is a much larger Box weave (a little similar to the background to the second hand), which could, with just a little imagination, look like the Pulsar. The Breguet; a nice watch, simplicity always does it for me!

 

[Manstein]

Whitesix I've always thought Breguet produce some superb classic watches but some of their chronographs are a bit too "bling".

 

[whitesix]

Really don't like bling; classic and simple for me!
