this is the best I can do at the moment, maybe I'll update my watch photo with my babies.....

A few years back I sent this watch in to be serviced, a few weeks later I received a FedEx package supposedly containing my watch. When I opened the package, I damn near had a heart attack. Instead of my measly model 6605 there was a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph worth $250K (+/-). DA couple days later I got a phone call from the owner of the watch service company asking if I'd received a package with the incorrect contents. Oh, how I was tempted to say "nope, we're all good". But, knowing that the watch was easily traceable what's a fella to do.

What!! No cheap Timex jobs!
My Davis 32 and Timex😁

I actually wear my Timex quite a bit. It keeps perfect time and I don’t have to worry about damaging it.
Actually my Timex keeps better time than the new Rolex I bought. I had my Rolex for probably 20 years and they were never able to get it to keep consistent time so I sold it.

For the last 59 years my go to watches have been my Accutron tuning fork watches.

Pictured is my 1966 Accutron Space View and 60’s Smith 30-1.

My watches are mostly less expensive models but the one I wear the most is a Seiko that my wife (then Fiancé) bought me for Christmas 1980. The Rolex followed a few years later.
