Similarly, a 40th birthday (23 years ago) present. A new battery and stem seal every five years, near perfect timekeeping, majorly durable and original crystal is unscratched. The bracelet started crapping out after 18 years; I replaced it rather than replate and repin. I wear it every day, everywhere above and below water. Banged, beaten and abused, it still looks great and I still like it.

Yeah but mate, it doesn't tell the right time and the day and date are wrong too! And is that your knee you have strapped to?!?!

Bugger! This is what happens. I get excited and miss things. I'll be posting it back today with an angry letter Originally Posted by MickR

I hope that watch in addition to water and shock resistant is hair resistant too.

My latest watch arrived this week. Early dad's day gift for me.
It's a wooden watch and band, so not waterproof, but resistant.
A nice rosewood shade and a pleasing face. Quite light for it's size and the bigger face works well for my aging eyes.
Cheers.

That's awesome. I love my wood watch. Way lighter than I expected. I don't have that big a face though. Very cool

So what happens when the weather is humid and all those little wooden gears and things start to expand inside?
Just kidding.
Nice watch. Wood watches have been around for a while and they actually have made clocks with wood innards a very long time ago.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
