Watches

[sharkbyte]

Similar to pidj, I work in technology but have no interest in a smartwatch. My dad passed on an Omega Speedmaster Schumacher edition a couple of years ago that's my go to. The yellow face can be a little noticeable though. My brother gave me a solar powered Sieko for being his best man - it's a beautiful dress watch. Then, being a child of the 80s, I have quite a collection of Swatches - both old and new. I can rarely pass a Swatch store without buying at least one.

I find it interesting how many "car guys" also have an extensive collection of watches. This has come up on several forums I frequent. Both my dad and brother fit the mold too. Passion for cars and nice watches.

If you are interested in nice sport watches at very reasonable prices look at INVICTA watches. I have 5 of them and they all keep good time and offer a lot of quality for the money They hold up well and are very good looking too. I always get a lot of compliments on them. Check out WOW.......WORLD OF WATCHES.COM for lots of nice watches at good prices with good service.

Have you seen the Sistem 51 Swatches? They developed a 90 hour power reserve automatic that is assembled with just one screw. I have being thinking of picking one up as a beater. To your second point, I think appreciating great engineering may having something to do with it!
