watches?

[Switcher56]

The only watches I am capable of wearing are Seikos and Swiss Army watches. In days of old it used to be a Seiko5 (self winding). Every time I visited Europe (England mostly) I would buy a spare. I had 2 spares at one point LOL. The second was picked up during GW1 in Dubai, complete with Arabic characters (day), nice convo piece. Not all self winding watches are of quality, they often overwind themselves. I had this happen on several. My current watch has been around for 15 yrs without any issues.

My dress watch (battery operated) black chrome

In the moment I am thinking about a new watch? I had the money for a little bit expansive one, but it´s not my pilosophy to pay a lot of money for a watch? I like this one from Breitling and 4000 Euro is not much in the upper watch market?

But until I know what I want I bought a Casio for 35 Euro.

Nice collection Hawk! Watches are interessting. I ´ve got some but mostly they are broke. In Europe we had Swatch watches, I had some nice ones. One with Che Guevara for example, but they were not expansive more a fashion item.

My oldest one is from my granddad, but also broken.

After the end of the cold war, Germany was floated with russian army, navy or airforce watches. But most of them were fake and didn´t work long.

As I was in Paris before 3 years I made a picture in a swatch shop. I like the colourfull Swatch watches.

Oh, intersting! But I think I don´t need one again.

Thanks to god my wife said, sleep about it, I was close before to order the Breitling yesterday evening. But at last, I am a guy which which is not a friend of expansive things if cheaper things do the same.

Among Soviet watch collectors the Ukrainians have a bit of a bad rep for selling fakes
