how about leather cuff watches?

Ive got a fossil one on the right and a guess one on the left. The guess one has mad furry lining on the strap and makes you sweat

Bought mine about 5-6 years ago when I was in America :)

Has a sapphire face so it hasn't scratched once, 200m water proof too

love it Dave. Looks the part. Ive a tag too but I dont really like it (its not like your one though). It was given to me as a present and Ive worn it a couple of times.

The Sapphire face makes a world of difference if you plan on getting many years out of a watch!

I've always been a Swatch fan and over the years have had at least 20 different Swatch watches...I've currently got 5 or 6 watches, 2 Aluminium Swatch ones (but neither work), a nice Seiko Chronograph (but it's too big), a Guess watch, and a Rolex...which I don't fancy much (too plain). I'm promised my dad's Rolex Daytona (1 of 2000 I think?) which I quite like, and I am tempted to sell my Rolex and get a Boss or Cerruti watch, otherwise, I'm not much of a watch person anymore...

My best friend on the other hand...oh dear...

I love the nixon watches. All the surf and skate shops sell em and they are really nice designs.

Not a work friendly watch well depending where you work :) but Id like one of those myself.

Sapphire face is ridiculously good, I never take it off, working on the car/at work/at uni/anything and its as good as the day i bought it :p

The Raymond Weil I got recently had a sapphire face but has a leather strap which I want to get worn cause I hate new leather. But as you said its nice to be able to wear it wherever and not worry about scratching it.

Here is the one I got http://www.orolus.com/cgi-bin/Shopp...&detail_sizes=.&detail_keyword=.&search_logo=

@ RIko: used to have swatch watches when I was younger but there are no swatch shops around anymore... I couldnt believe how many there are in America!

I used to wear a watch all the time but stop wearing it when I got my arm tattooed while it healed and never bothered with it since. I have just bought my wife a Christian Dior watch though, cost a bloody fortune and got no "special attention" for it! lol :p

I got this one from my Dad for my 18th

Tissot-PRS-200-T17148644.jpg

Really like Tissot watches. I hadnt really given them much thought but I saw one I liked and got it for my gf a while ago and it really is a nice piece. I think for price and quality they are fairly difficult to beat.

The one I got her was this

@ Kelly: haha I have many fetishes as Ive probably told you before :p watches are probably the most socially acceptable :p

I have one of these.

rel_casio%20W-102D-1AVDF.jpg


a Casio W-102.

I had one of em ages ago and lasted me 6 years of hard labor and then broke. Liked it so much that i got another. It's currently 5 years old and still going strong. fell in a bath of De-fluxer ( this stuff will literally melt a rubber glove off of your hand ) and all at one stage and still works perfect lol. can't sing it's praises enough. i have a flashy gold one too but never wear it as my gran uncle gave it to me about 2 years befour he died for my confirmation so don't wanna break it.
