I've got a vintage Rolex DateJust with a fluted bexel, jubilee bracelet and a blue stick dial. It used to be my father's, but when I turned 40, he gave it to me.

Since then, I've started building watches myself. Here's some of them...

I have a bit of a collection. Probably change what I am wearing every other day. This is today's piece.

Thought I was alone in my obsession with time......my collection now stands at 71 pieces: pocket watches, digital, battery, wind, self wind, whatever. Some are pricey but most are modestly priced and I buy what I find interesting. My favorite is a Timex Snoopy and the Red Baron my mom gave me for my fourth birthday in 1969- it still indeed keeps ticking- same for mom.

Thanks! This one I've had for 16 yrs, and it's been super reliable.

I've been a Tag fan for many years. It's my only watch besides a Pre railroad pocket watch.

I'm late to the party, here is my meager collection, 2 Casio Oceanus (Atomic clock radio and solar), Invicta something or other automatic I use for swimming and diving, and a Microsoft band, which I have been wearing lately for step counting, heart rate, etc...

I too have a love for fine timepieces, the precision and simplicity of Porsche Design are my favourites, as is my Boxster S, greatest sports car ever conceived!

I have more than a few. This is my current favorite, it's my Dad's vinyage 1969 Bulova Accutron vertical day/date I recently had restored.

This one has a bit of history: My uncle, who served in the USAF, bought this watch in Germany in the early 1960s. He gave it to me for safekeeping when I was a kid. Its a special occasion watch for me. (currently my daily wear is iWatch. I also have a TAG).

@borz - super Porsche collection.

Really like the speedmasters and would like a vintage one or a SS Panerai to add to my limited collection

Daily beater


Day to Day business watch, have it a long time now and it never misses a beat. I really like it.


The big one - only comes out now and again. Like the fact that most people even those that think they know watches don't even comment on it.

Can sometimes steal my eyes from the road, but this one is my favorite to wear on a twisty drive:
