    Hi

    I'm a huge collector of watches and was interested to know what you all are wearing (on your wrists) and why?

    I love Steinhart watches and for day to day use Gshocks.

    Can't afford one I'd be happy to wear, last one broke about a year ago and I've felt naked ever since.

    I've got a gold one, missus bought me it ( well with the money i gave her) It cost about 700 quid. It was a special edition here.

    Must admit, i don't wear it often, i'm not a watch lover, plus i keep breaking the damn things.

    My boss however, is a ****, he loves the things, and has several Rolex's that cost a mint. What a waste of money.

    Skagen, bought for me by my wife last Christmas..

    Coincidentally, I haven't had it for a couple of weeks. I wasn't sure if I'd taken it off in the house, or maybe took it off at work and left it on the desk, and the cleaners may have nicked it. I was 90% certain that it was in the house. As the weeks went by, this changed to 90% certain it must have been nicked. Someone was selling an identical one on ebay, so I bought it this morning. Half an hour later, I found mine down the back of a cupboard in the bathroom.

    So, I've now got a spare.

    What I'd quite like, when they come out, is a Moto 360. https://moto360.motorola.com/

    I just can't decide whether talking into my wrist Dick Tracy style would make me quite cool, or just a complete dick.

    I bought a omega De Ville 30 years ago, I have a G-shock for everyday use and a Michael Koss which I bought 2 years ago. The one I would love to have is a Breitling.One day:emoticon-0115-inlov

    Citizen Eco Drive Perpetual Chrono Dive Watch, virtually indestructible, had only 2 Citizens in the last 28 years and wear my watch every day. Found the first one at 30m deep on a dive off Florida, it had stopped working but only needed a new battery!

    Got a few watches. Don't wear any of them as I wear a cartier love bangle on my watch wrist and hate feeling constricted by loads of items.

    My favourite watch is my Franck Muller Conquistador, which I'll probably keep forever, the rest are not worth anything, just **** I've accumulated over the years. Got a fake Rolex in Bangkok MBK, looks **** hot and only cost £25, proper automatic as well.

    Never ever had one or felt I needed one.
    Always seemed like a control thing to me. F*ck got to be here now, 20 mins home time, got to pick someone up in an hour or so etc.
    to take it even further got no jewelry at all. No rings, bracelets, necklaces, absolute zilch
