Almost written in stone that I wear something gold on a Saturday evening.

Tonight it is this 9ct piece from 1956 housing a Smiths movement,

I always like it when watches on this thread have the correct date (why wouldn’t you?). Even more respect to those who have today’s day, date and month. Nice piece.

Like Andy Warhol said “I don’t wear the Cartier tank to tell the time, I wear it because it’s the watch to wear!”

Datejust with my first ever red wing boots. Super excited to see them patina and last forever like a watch.

Yes, it’s a bit of my watch wearing OCD shining through. I enjoy all of the complications of day, date, month, moon phase ad nauseum. For me, they’ve all got to be right.

Did you note the synchronicity of the running seconds hand to the minute hand?
yeah, I like watches a lot...

Timberland Bradstreet chukka. I buy lace-ups but try not to buy any with more than 3 parallel lace holes.

(Quicker and easier to lace)

Looks like you and I have a lot in common Spruce! First the respect for the Timex Marlin, and now leather boots 😀

Thinking of having this one surgically implanted to my wrist, I like it that much. But then, there’s the problem of changing the battery every year. So I’ll just hold off on that idea.

It fascinates me that a watchmaker (who I’ve learned to respect), who has an obvious love for old American railroad grade pocket watches, among other vintage mechanical things, would be sooo attached an Accutron.

(I do admit that if I were ever to buy a battery watch [🤮], this would be high up on my list, because it is beautiful to look at - just not closely, cause when you do look closely, it looks more like a cheap transistor radio than a watch movement.)

Just to provide that contrast:

Didn’t wear a watch today as I was fighting some trees but now it’s cooking time I need something

. . . since Tuesday. And there's a good shot it'll be on my wrist a few more days.
