Thread: Watches

I have a citizen ecodrive. I like it! I might change out the grey band with orange stiching to something more solid black.

My Father inlaw worked for Bulova many years ago when they were in Queens NY. He met my mother inlaw there. Always heard Bulova stories from him. So i guess I have a soft spot for the brand.

Cell phones have darn near destroyed the market for watches. It is getting harder to see someone wearing a wrist watch.

i have a few wrist watches one being my Father 1964 Rolex. It needs cleaning, but that cost way too much to pay.

I usually carry pocket watches from each of my Grandfathers. One is a Hamilton Railway and a Illinois. They both worked for the railroad.

I have actually been asked what my pocket watch is. Cell phones are turning the young into brainless idiots! Asked them what Military time is

The ironic thing is using a cell phone as a watch is the 21st century equivalent of a pocketwatch. You need to get it and maneuver it to tell the time. That's the exact reason for the wristwatch-convenience.

Maybe so, but I have never seen a cell phone as pretty as my watches. You might apply the same to using a mach 3 instead of a beautiful vintage razor

Here is a favorite Bulova of mine. 96B135. A bit on the minimalist side, but with a 44mm diameter case it fits my wrist nicely. Anything smaller looks like I'm wearing a chick watch.. (6'4" and 260lbs.)





My eyes appreciate the large numbers too.

After seeing Lynn's Bulova Precisionist I wanted one too. My Accutron ll Snorkel

Not for me, but gave this 1994 swatch to my son on his 21st birthday this week.

Was well received. He likes the simple lines of it. So do I actually.
Forgot how skinny these were.
Cheers

I came across this one on the bay:

Incredibly cheap, I am tempted to buy. As it is so cheap I wonder whether this is legit. He has a 100% positive review record. Any thoughts on this vendor?

Can't vouch for the vendor but has 100% positive feedback with over 5000 transactions. With the ebay and Paypal guarantee I would not worry. Watch is legit and will last a longtime. Good luck.
