The watch I wear most often.... Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust.

My wife will frequently wear one of my other watches - whatever matches her outfit for the day. Haven't figured that part out yet....

Classic Omega Deville. Used to belong to my dad and really love this watch. Very classic but still like to wear it.

My X2 chrono. Not my pic (happend to have a picture of the Bell & Ross on my phone and the other Omega was laying on my desk)
Self-winding, looks very sleek but I have a small wrist and don't really like it that much on my wrist atm since I'm pretty slim/skinny

http://www.watchobsession.co.uk/imag...07-500x500.jpg

Then I have a lot of other watches but nothing special. Standard Hugo Boss / Armani crap

Wish I could ever afford me a Breguet...


MY GOD
a great piece of jewelry !

But if you look really really closely, carefully concealed on the right hand side of the image, there is just the faintest, mind you just the absolute faintest suggestion of owning a Ferrari as well.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Citizen Eco Drives have made a fair showing as well. I think it is the technology parallel between the BMW and Eco Drives that gives us that correlation.
Perhaps its more of a quality link for the Omegas?
We need a poll! We haven't had one is sooooo long.

Current timepiece is a Lambretta Imola Grand Prix I bought on-line from Car and Driver advertisment while waiting for my dentist appointment.

I was a Rolex dealer in the 70s and have long since sold my 18K Day-Date 1607. Someday ...a Rolex S/S Daytona .

Jayda, since you probably have 5 pair of shoes for each watch we have, it probably evens out
Marc Jacobs, Louboutin, Manollo, ... now THAT'S expensive for something that doesn't even last a half year

I am a computer systems engineer, so I guess so. It does have full chronograph features but the coolest thing is the world time zones, hand synch to the digital time, and fast switching of zones. You can have the hands to local time, digital to another zone, and a few button pushes later, reset both to something different. the newest versions add an atomic clock source so its always 100% accurate.

My story on the Citizen Skyhawk Titanium is interesting. I used to buy cheap Timex watches and go thru them every few years. I saw a sporty looking Citizen and thought it would match owning a BMW. My father who colected watches started collecting Citizens and suggested I look at the Titanium.
I thought if I ever found it on sale I would get it. We took my parents on a cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary. Many islands have discount watch pricing, so I found the Citizen Titanium and bought it @ 50% off. At the next stop, my father convinced another place to give the same discount and bought the same watch. It was a nice bonding moment for us.

I'd venture to say more than five pairs per watch.....although I like driving barefoot best! Almost always kick off footwear if driving any distance (DCT, not manual)!

So you're high maintenance? Good thing the 'zed' isn't

Thing is, in Belgium we have ridiculous prices on jewelry, clothes, ...

Buying a pair of Manollo's in Vegas is about 350 USD? In Belgium it's EASY 500 euro's which is about 700 USD? Same thing for watches (and cars aswell.. a 'vette in the US, about 60k USD? Belgium about 80k euro which is 100k+)

*needtomovetothestates* A mansion in Nevada would be nice... VEGAS BABY
My online marketing company gets 80%+ revenue from the US anyway hehe
"Honey, we're moving to Vegas!" hehe
