    baldbear take a two day break for trolling.

    my last and current watch, both g-shocks, still looking for my ideal dress watch, but still with that sporty look, the rugged g-shock doesn't go great with the shirt and cufflinks

    Beautiful watch. Very nice indeed. Gets my vote of the best looking watch on this thread :)

    Here's a picture taken from the interweb of the same watch as mine. I've had it since '96:

    I tend to prefer the simpler dials myself. Must be the shortsightedness:D

    I got this watch back in 2006. Not really a watch person until this time.
    I often get complimented on it even now and it looks just the same as it did except the black Tachymeter text has come off. IMO the most important feature for a watch is comfort. With this one unless I look I don't even know I'm wearing it...

    Great forum, I'm always on the lookout for new watches. Anyway, here's a few watches I've accumulated over the years:

    Festinas.jpg
    I picked up both Festina chronos at different times on sale in the watch shop on the ground floor in the square Tallaght. They are a bit on the heavy side to wear though. The middle watch is a Sector Mountain Master which has a lot of sports features including altimeter, barometer, storm alarm etc. I bought it on ebay from Italy, but had to return it as it was damaged in transit. The shop sent it off for repair and 4 months later I still don't have it back :mad: I may end up buying another...

    Tissot.jpg
    I pictured the Sector again for size comparisons against the Suunto Core - a similar watch in terms of the feature set (barometer, thermometer etc) The Suunto is really comfortable to wear despite its size - I tend to wear it a lot in the summer when exercising as the whole watch is easy to clean. Changing the battery is a cinch too. The Tissot on the left is a T-Race with a sapphire crystal - a nice sized watch that keeps good time.

    Citizen.jpg
    This is a Citizen Skyhawk A/T with a titanium case and bracelet, it's really light to wear. Its solar powered and receives nightly updates from the atomic clock in Germany so timekeeping is spot on.

    timex.jpg
    I picked this up on ebay as well for a third of the normal retail price. I haven't seen any for sale in Ireland, a pity as Timex have really moved upmarked with this new line of watches. It also has a sapphire crystal and built in compass.

    Casio.jpg
    My oldest watch, a casio pathfinder from 1996. It's still running ok but needs a new battery. It has a nice twincept display where the digits appear to float above the hands. It now sits in a drawer collecting dust :P

    An old Seiko chronograph from the 70's. The strap isn't original and is pretty awful, I must replace it with something decent:
