That's very nice indeed.

Any excuse to post a pic of mine and it's big brother. The AT actually hasn't come out of the safe since February and the PO had a five month break until last week. The first time the latter has been off my wrist for more than a day or two since 2012!

ETA - these photos date from 2014 when the AT was new.

Curious why you are not wearing them!?

If he’s anything like me it’s working from home related.

I only put a watch on if I’m leaving the house and generally take them off when I get home.

For the first year of ownership I had no need for a watch winder for my Breitling as I wore it almost every day, and with a 72 hour reserve I didn’t have to reset the time once.

Now I have to do it every time I put it on. Need a watch winder I think.

I've got a single watch winder but was wondering if I should stop using it especially if I get a second automatic

Exactly that. I've wound the PO (44 hour) maybe twice between 2012 and 2020. I realised when I was WFH that I was usually doing little jobs and kept bashing it, so bought a gshock.

Now I'm doing the pre-school run and the PO has made a vanity reappearance 😂

I've been wearing watches but more G Shock and dailies in the house. Every now and then o put on my Tudor or newer Seamaster.

Wound up my Omega Seamaster GMT as it was my 40th birthday present (and its 7 today )

Fixing 2 time zones and a date is a pain! Main time zone is East coast US where I live, 2nd is my birth country UK.

Happy birthday!

Oh to be 47...

My first decent watch was my 50th birthday present. My second a 55th birthday present. Looking forward to 60!

When I bought the second of my Omegas, I told myself the next watch would wait until my 50th and be an IWC. And that if I did well for myself then a PP.

Now, with school fees, I hope to add a second G-shock. Perhaps for my 60th.

This is my little collection. I don't wear the Moonwatch at all, just enjoy looking at it occasionally. The Seamaster is a daily together with a black version (not pictured) on a nato strap. Like many on here the PO was a 40th birthday present from my family! I've just ordered a Tag F1 in blue.

Haha, my Omega Reduced was similar back in 2003.

My current wife gave me the Seamaster GMT in 2013. She and the watch are keepers!

Wife and I are considering a Cartier. I fancy a Tank.

The Tonneau store near me, there's a really obtuse older guy there, I read the reviews on Google and many have had the same experience. I don't need to bother with that...
5 years, ermm ok I'll just hang around till then and no surprise they saying spend more to curry favour.

Tank is the nicest Cartier available I think. Ballon's are nice looking but massive on so they are out for me.

I've heard so many negative stories about Tonneau over the years more so than positives and although I've never bought from them unless I was faced with a killer deal then I'd don't think I'd ever shop with them.

Never saw the 'tube' style watch case(?) before. Are they indeed for watches and where did you get them from??
