I just sold mine, and my wrist is feeling kinda naked.
I want something cheap, that looks really busy (lots of dials, readouts, whatever), and relatively large and heavy. My last watch was quite heavy. I want it to look like something a superspy might wear.
Bonus points if I can pull a garotte out of it to strangle sentries.
compass, altimeter, solar powered, thermometer, barometer, blah, blah, blah. basically it will last you forever and tell you everything you could want to know.
Throw a paracord bracelet on the other wrist for your garroting needs. This one has a firestarter as a clasp.
Boy, do I have nothing to offer. In the last year I discovered an old rectangular Lord Elgin and an Omega Seamaster I’d gotten when my parents passed. Had them tuned up and are my new regular wears.
Every once in a while I notice watches in the pages of magazines. Sauer? I think some of them even have phases of the moon.
Actually, I’m misstating things a bit. I want one reasonably priced at least semi-normal watch for $50 or less, and then I want a “watch a day” assortment of REALLY cheap (like 10 bucks or so), complex and even incomprehensible watches. I’m thinking that I should adopt watches as the only form of jewelry I wear.
I’ve always been a fan of unique watches and have many, some like the ones that you’ve got on the way from Amazon. Here are some styles that you might find worthy of picking up:
Mystery Dial - Basically you don’t see the majority of the hands, but rather the ends of them out somewhere where it seems like they’re almost floating unattached. I’ve picked up a nice cheap one with mesh band before from ebay, but they can be hard to find. A poor man’s example might be something like this.
