This seems like a natural cohabitation to me. Are there others here who admit to an affinity for both quality firearms and timepieces? Show 'em if you got 'em.
An appreciation for mechanical precision

Nobody posted an alarm clock and a Glock? How about a Timex and an AK-47?

Well not a S&W (rather those wheelguns that "turn the other way") but here's my 6" and 8" Pythons with a fav. automatic of mine and a pretty rare smoke.
Call it a gentleman's "survival" kit.
Have fun and be safe.

The pics of my watches are not on this computer, but, yes...I also appreciate a finely crafted mechanical watch.
Unfortunately, I've only had the funds to acquire 2 of them. I own and wear a IWC Fliegerchronograph with SS bracelet, and a Bell & Ross Vintage 126 with leather strap. I love these pieces, and wear one of them almost 24/7 (I do also wear a Casio G-shock once in awhile, and a kinda weird Nooka very rarely.)
If I ever hit the lottery, there are probably 3 or 4 (or so) that I'd love to get as well. I might even buy another if I ever become gainfully employed again!

Night, very nice Colts, and watch. I admit ignorance when it comes to cigars.
Tim, I agree about funds. The watches I'd like cost more than most of the firearms I'd like! You have a couple of nice watches.

I don't have any pictures of watches but I've alway believed that two most precision things you can buy these days are a fine gun and a fine watch. I like the original Posters Seiko Automatic as I have been wearing them since my tour in Vietnam in 1969 and I lost mine a few weeks ago when the band broke while trying to land a large fish. I've ordered another one and it should be here in a few days.
Being a toolmaker by trade I appreciate precision and excellent designs. I also accept the fact that anything manufactured can and will have problems at some point, its how you handle your quality defects and PPM defect rates that makes a difference in a company.

Night,
A Doxa is my grail watch! I first heard of them reading Clive Cussler. I've told my dear wife if she thinks the guns I like are expensive ...
6Pack,
As I said on another thread in which you posted a pic of your Eco Zilla, great watch! Big, but tough as nails. Until I can afford the Doxa, the Orange Monster will probably be my next purchase.
FYIMO, I love my Seiko. It's my first mechanical, and is accurate to w/in 2 seconds a day. It was shipped from Japan a week after the tsunami. Sorry you lost yours. Please show us your new one when it arrives.
Rdr,
Beautiful Elgin. Having been your Great Grandfather's only makes it better.

Condition - they made a VERY rare short run of the "Clive Cussler" special Doxa's. They popup on Ebay from time to time. Around $3K or so usually. I have just about every Cussler book written.
6pack - the Seiko Orange Monster is great. What a sweet classic orange faced dive watch! I still need to pick one up.
Steve Pearlman runs this place (Atomic Warehouse) in Harrisburg and he always has neat vintage stuff coming and going. Check him out, he's a good guy to deal with.

Night, have you seen the Doxa NUMA edition? They sold out before they were released. Thanks for the link.

How's this?
Now that's what I'm talking about! I found a G-shock in the bushes behind an apartment building a few years ago. I don't know how old it was at the time, but it lasted another 3 years for me. Then someone bought me another watch because they thought the thing was ugly.
