DIGGER27
In Memory Of
Not the super expensive ones but the kind I can wear daily.
This time of the year is the worst for me, too hot, too dry, I get out once in awhile to hunt but I am waiting on fall and I get bored easily so I go on the interwebs and read.
Came across another forum, watchuseek.com, then a whole bunch of videos and reviews on YouTube of all kinds of brands and watches and all of a sudden my ordinary Timex's just didn't seem to be good enough...even though they do keep time perfectly well.
I have been wearing Timex watches since I was about 10 years, over 50 years now, plus a few others throughout the years but now I think I deserve a little nicer.
This is my latest Timex, I bought this on sale at Wal-Mart for only about $20 because it was discontinued.
I have a few other Times watches packed away somewhere, also...I love that Indiglo.
These are a couple I inherited from my wife's brother who passed away.
Found them while going through his stuff.
The Expedition is a nice watch, love the band on this one, the Swiss Army watch is beat up but it is supposed to have a nice swiss movement in it.
I bought this a few weeks ago from Costco so the warranty is lifetime through them.
I don't expect them to have this model forever but if anything ever goes wrong I will get some kind of satisfaction.
A Casio G Shock that I can use when I take my Nox into the water or for other rough service...it is supposed to be pretty tough.
5 alarms, a timer, day, date and it is solar powered and it is big but it still looks good on my wrist.
Not my first Casio, I do remember owning at least one in the 70's.
They have gone far beyond their simple digital beginnings and they still have a following...especially the G Shocks which have sold more than 100 million units over the years.
I just need 2 more, some kind of nice dress watch that I still haven't decided on yet and one other daily driver...both need to be automatics.
I just received this one this week, so far the nicest watch I have ever owned.
An Orient Mako USA ll...and I love it.
I don't know where this will end, maybe a Seiko in the future or something else, I do like the Orient brand and Bambino's seem to be well thought of. There are so many beautiful ones out there.
Vostok Amphibian watches are cheap automatics that many love because of their history so I probably need one of those too just because.
Then there are straps, Zulu's and Nato's in all kinds of colors and others.
I only have two wrists and I only wear one watch at a time but still, like detectors, there might not be no such thing as too many in the watch world.
We will see.
