    I love mechanical pocket watches. Right now all I have is a Charles-Hubert Paris. I am on the look our for a nice vintage one also.
    Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

    I've been collecting them for over 30 years now.

    Wow, you guys have some lovely watches. I only have the one watch right now, it's an all black fossil watch that I use when I'm working back stage in a theatre where non-black things tend to stand out. Other than back stage a use it only sporadicly and typically just use my phone.

    I have a $250 Tissot PR50 I bought 9 years ago. It's water resistant so I never take it off. The most I like about it is the sapphire that doesn't get any scratches. It is so much better that the Seiko I had before it for about 10 years, I could not see anything on it anymore because of so many scratches.

    I'm a big fan of the Tissots and have a few of them, but am a sucker for the way a nice tag link feels like on me...till the day comes and I'm gifted a Cartier

    I just bought a mutewatch - not entirely sure what that says about me to be honest. But at the moment the novelty hasn't worn off and I am wandering around swiping the damn thing obsessively, setting vibrating timers and alarms, and accosting random strangers on trains with my little gadget.

    My only grumble with it is the band - why so short, and why the press stud? Surely a more conventional clasp/buckle arrangement would have been better.

    Not for me! I could see changing the alarm time with my shirt sleeve at best.
