Any Watch Fans On AP?

[I @ M]

The mobile phone etc has made the wrist watch obsolete for a lot of people. I still wear one, but wouldn't even know what brand it is without looking.

Im the same. Dont even wear a watch anymore. Its just second nature now to pull the iPhone out of my pocket .. sign of the times I guess. (no pun intended )

I will stick to my trusty water resistant to 100m Seiko because when I am dog paddling out the island bar in the swimming pool at a tropical resort the last thing I want to be doing is trying to get my mobile phone out of my shorts pocket to check whether it is actually time for the bar to open or not.

Mobile phones do work under water don't they?

And when exactly (date and time) was the last time you did that.

The last thing on earth that I would want on a tropical resort would be a watch or even know what the time is

I'm definitely a watch fan. The advent of omnipresent electronic devices that tell the time is pretty irrelevant for me - a watch is a thing of beauty and the only thing I wear that could be equated to 'jewellery'.

I'm also a fountain pen fan - the advent of laptop word processing didn't diminish that interest either!

I have a few watches:

1964 Omega Constellation 'C' in 18k gold

1985 Rolex Oyster Perpetual datejust in steel

2009 Rolex Daytona in steel (alas not one of the original 'Newman' Daytonas)

I've got a couple of pictures of the Omega which I've posted before on AP:
