Not Enough Wrists

Nice watches. I had a Gshock for a number of years it was my go to hunting/road less traveled watch. When I got rid of the watches I noticed my cousin was wearing one of those cheap POS 5 buck watches you find at the checkout line of dollar stores. I gave it to him and he has worn it everyday for everything for three years now. Great watches.

Seiko divers, in my opinion, have the best lume in the business. I can charge it before bed and still see it at 5am. I am partial to automatics and thiers are some of the best buys out there.

I have been eyeing one of those.
I like the slimmer profile (easier to wear in cooler months) vs what I have now.

When I was younger and just starting in my welding career , I went through several brands of watches very quickly. I mean like in 1 to 2 weeks they were done. I'm talking Caravelle and a Seiko. I finally bought a cheap Timex that lasted two years. So I have worn Timex watches since and they do what I want . That is to tell me what time it is.

Right now I have a Timex expedition on my wrist. I have had this watch two years now and it is still going strong. I did put a Spidel twist a flex band on it.

Timex are solid watches. I have one and it may be same model ( bought back in early 2000’s) that had fish and moon phases. I love it but have had a hard time finding a replacement band.
 
This watch is pretty neat. I was part of the group that gesiged it for RGM. it has the world's first dual dive bezel. Meaning that it is capable of timing say bottom time and deco stops independently. If you look you can see a series of numbers going in each direction along with a lume marker on each half of the bezel. Each half twists independently in opposite directions.

Anything on my wrists or my neck or my hands drives me nuts. So, I do pocket watches.

The one on the left is about 25 years old. It's branded Remington but I don't know if it's connected to Remington firearms.
I bought it at Walmart for 20 bucks. I need to get a new battery for it.

I bought the one on the right as a retirement gift to myself. Really didn't think that one through did I?

I used to carry my watch in my RF pocket but with all the crap I carry on my belt that didn't work. So I got smart and now I hook the chain to a button hole in my shirt and carry the watch in my T-shirt pocket.

I don't like pulling out my phone in public.
