What watch are you wearing?

@CHAS said in What watch are you wearing?:
A: I feel naked without my watch.
B: Exactly where do you wear it?My grandmother told me to always wear a watch. To interviews. To work. Etc. It's old school advice from after WWI actually when men started to wear wrist watches to tell the time. Her advice stayed with me.
I wear my watches sometimes. Sometimes not. It depends on my mood. I just happen to love them both and a good thing they're inexpensive too.
I had a watch collection a long time ago. Three mechanical watches. Variations on a theme. The same look. Different movements. Meant for different uses.
Today people would use the word-- "curated." Let them. I never will...

One of my few regrets is selling the best one for $600. It needed service, the price of that was estimated not set but astronomical, around 1k, and I had bills to pay. It would be worth 5k today but I don't care about that. I wish I had changed the strap and just kept it without having it serviced. It was/ is beautiful. C'est la vie.
