Favorite. Just bought a Seiko srpa-83 dive watch. Looks great with the blue dial and ion plated beze. Bit big at 50mm but that's the way I like em.

Seiko........ automatic divers watch ..... since 1989

Well...probably a lot of guys who accumulate guns also accumulate watches....something about loving mechanical devices, I suppose. I won't say which is my "favorite", but here is one that I used to carry when I wore a suit with a vest:

The Smith and Wesson shipped July 1887!!! (Still shoots really well).

Bit a very good photo, but it was handy....

Best Regards, Les

Speedmaster......awesome watch!! I have a Seamaster and Planet Ocean. Great watches.

Tag Heuer, rugged, accurate, water-proof, dressy enough, sporty enough, and I use the diver bezel for timing my cooking on the grill.

Lousy picture, but it's a Seiko Railroad watch, along with a Smith and Wesson model 15, Randall knife, and star sapphire ring.

The only watch that is working right now is my TAG-Heuer Sports 100. 1,000? Looks a lot like HRichard's, but is all stainless with a black face. Was just factory serviced and given a new battery, crown, seals, and crystal.

The gun is probably my S&W M-66-3, four-inch barrel, with Pachmayr Presentation grips.

I need to get two good Seiko watches serviced and back in action. One just needs a new battery. Other probably needs a new crown, cleaning, and seals. One is a Sports 100. I'd have to look up the model of the other, but it ticks too loudly, and I'm sorry I bought it. Couldn't hear the ticking in the store. I do hear it in a quiet room.

Runner-up gun is a M-60-4 with Pachmayr Presentation Compac grips. It thinks it's a target gun; very accurate, especially for a .38 so small.

I had this Bulova Accutron maybe close to 40 years (give or take).
still runs & you can still get batteries.

Although I have a couple of dozen watches, my primary every day watch is a 1960's vintage Benrus automatic. I bought it for next to nothing at an auction around 2005, and it's performed flawlessly since.

The other watch that I wear often is a 1989 Hamilton Khaki mechanical that I received as a Christmas present that year. Serviced twice in almost 30 years and still runs great.

For watches I have those Russian pocket watches from eBay. They run flawlessly.

Black watch (Citizen) black gun (Glock 43).

Wife says they clash with my gray hair.

My everyday watch is a Seiko automatic divers watch bought for me by my wife in 2014 when I went into a jewelry shop to get a battery for my 28 year old Seiko Quartz divers watch. I was wearing the now 28 year old Seiko the day I got hurt in a fire. Very little of the paint remains. I've thought of having it redone but have no idea if it could be done or if anyone would do the work. The Automatic I wear daily to the office, etc. On Sundays I have a Seiko Chronometer that I bought for the princely sum of $79 at a Belks dept. store. Belk was running a good after Christmas sale. As well, by filing out a charge account application another 10% was knocked off. Finally b/c I was purchasing the watch on (IIRC), Friday, another 8% was knocked off the price. It started out at half price before the discounts b/c the box was missing. Very nice watch. I prefer to wear the quartz Seiko when working in the yard, hunting, shooting, etc. I prefer to wear the Automatic day to day at the office, meetings, etc. I wear it on Sunday mornings. But, mostly on Sunday I prefer to wear the Seiko Chronometer. It is very trim and pretty. It is as much a piece of jewelry as it is a watch. Sincerely. bruce.

Not many pictures in this here thread.

So. To remedy that.

Two other watches I sometimes, wear instead of the Speedmaster. they are both from the time Heuer was not yet Tag-Heuer.

A 1976 Heuer Jarama and a 1976 Heuer Carrera II.

The guns need no introdution, I think.

No Smith and Wesson in the photo. My bad.

42 years as a mechanic and for most of that time I wore those dirt cheap plastic watches sold at Wal-Mart. All those years ago they sold for $2. By the time I retired they were getting up into the $12-15 range! I was hard on watches and didn't see any sense in spending much money on a good one just to beat it up. Besides, those cheap, plastic junkers kept perfect time.

During non-working hours I stepped up to a $35 Timex. Ain't fancy, but again they keep perfect time. That's what I still wear today.

Fact is that watches are getting scarce these days. The younger folks don't wear one. There's a clock in their phone.
