I used to like the Old Skool traditional watches, hands and dial type. They used to last me a while then I went through a couple in quite short time, it took a while before I realised my watches falling apart or dieing quickly was exactly the same time I started riding a Harley. Funny, I lost s few screws out of my glasses too... LOL.

Then I went for the terrorists favourite, the F91W

I actually like the F91W.

Had a couple, stand up well in the rough and ready Earthworks / Civil / concreting trade. They normally end up scratched to f#ck and I break the straps but they keep going!

didnt know what a f91w was, turns out same as i had. brilliant watch. my latest is ice watch. 2 1/2 yrs, battery only replacement. worn 24/7. once bought seiko sq100, gun metal case n band. truly beautiful. nearly $500. band broke at 2 years. unavailable. was really pissed off, had to fit stainless band, not matching colour. wore it as work watch then. there after cheap was my option. no more seikos for me.

So...finally remembered to take a photo of my collection: just one...like the amount of dials on it. Nothing fell off, it is supposed to be like this.

You'll work it out. Just stare long enough at it  :popcorn:

My thoughts too.

Not seen it done, but it would be fine for me.

I wouldn't mind one of those!

My Grandads gold Omega. It's broken at the moment. The winder button pulled off. I've been meaning to get it fixed for years now, but never quite got around to it. It was given to my Grandad as a "Thank you" for making someone a lot of money when he worked at the Bristol Stock Exchange! I'll never part with it.

Sekonda
Casio G-Shock.

When you decide to get it repaired I can recommend the watchguy at stroud, check out his website.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick
