OT: Watches..
Since someone else already brought up the subject of watches today
Figured I would post this VERY off topic thread. Sorry Moderators
-- So what are you guys sporting on the wrist? I am a big watch fan especially of stainless steel chrono's. -- Show us some pics..

What else, just the good old Rolex stainless submariner.... My everyday wear, it is tough I can bang around with it and wouldn't care if I scratch it. But it doesn't keep time worth a damn, 5 minutes fast every month...

Citizen Sailhawk chronograph. Works nice for rallyes with the multiple countdown timers and stopwatch. Replaces a Citizen Navisail that the kids borrowed and lost. Also accompanies me as a backup timer for recreational diving.

2004 Omega Seamaster Professional Chronograph 2599.80 in stainless. This is heavy enough to affect the corner balance of my 993.
I also wear my father's 1957 Omega Seamaster once in a while to allow my left arm to regain its normal length

I wear an IWC Flieger Chronograph

But to be honest, after I bought my "cheap" $400 Suunto Observer, the IWC has been sitting in the watch winder.

Paul,
If I could allow myself a momentary lapse of reason, and had $12k sitting in a watch fund, I would buy the IWC Big Pilot. For no other reason than the feel of the huge winding crown and the week-long power reserve. Yum.
Don't even mention Timezone - another sickness on par with Rennist....

I wear the Frederique Healey watch.....shouldn't (only 1 of 888) but I love how heavy it is, feels like it was worth what I spent

Same as Robin, the trusty stainless steel Submariner. It caught my eye as a kid after seeing Sean Connery wearing one in an old 007 film and was the only watch I ever wanted. Classic, just like the 993...
