With so many nice looking watches....I'll just have to make do with my Omega Seamaster watch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
When you care enough to use only the best...stick'em with a SKYCO knife.

I like watches Roo and I would like to show you a picture of it but have none. It is a titanium, glass covered Citizens Eco-Drive. Kind of a dressy dive watch. I've had it about 7-8 years and it's served me well. Keeps perfect time, like a watch should.

I like the eco-drives a lot. I was looking at a few of them, at a Jewelers last week.
Anything made of titanium is cool. Usually keeps the weight down quite a bit, compared to SS.

I got the seiko black monster in on monday. It rocks. The only way I can describe the fit and finish is to call it rolex-like. It is that nice.
Same quality or better than any tag or Esq I have seen. Nice than my Tag, actually.
Built like a tank. Even a puppy's tooth cannot penetrate the crystal ( must take watch off when coming home from now on).

I am really hard on watches. I have seikos, bulova, but the one I have come to love and depend on is a Casio G-Shock. Great tough watch. Never have to wind or set since it is solar and sets itself by satelites. Not expensive either.

My brother has one of those Brit watches. Nice watch. He wears it on duty, often.
Everybody but me seems to have good luck with the G-shock. Mine sucks. I like poo better. Poo keeps better time.

Never have to wind or set since it is solar and sets itself by satelites. Are you sure it's by satellite? Every self setting clock I've seen set itself by picking up the UTC (Universal Time Clock) signal from Colorado that is broadcast on shortwave at 5, 10 and 15, mhz.
