its a Junkers (made in Munich, AG). bought it during my euro delivery in 2006. least expensive of the bunch but equally adored by me.

kirkx5m,

what are the other two in the second picture? The Carbon leather strap on the right looks interesting.

Watches aren't about status for me. I wear long sleeve shirts to work and rarely roll up the sleeves. I don't wear my gold watches on the weekends, or to any casual events, and my daily watch doesn't really look expensive, only easy to read.

The mechanics and skill required to design and build a proper mechanical watch is what interests me. I would suspect that even when wearing my most expensive watches, less than 1% of people that see them even care in the slightest.

I consider driving a BMW more of an overt status statement than wearing any watch.:iono:

As an aside, my watches weathered the recent financial imbruglio a heck of a lot better than my other holdings.

But only wear it when driving.

of course many people possess them for the reason that you do. my statement doesn't apply to everyone.

I have a Tag Aquaracer for now. Want to get a matching Tag Indy 500 to go with my car in the near future and a Breitling later on!

Seriously I would get a Suunto... triva... worn by ppl in Stargate Atlantis

Any1 got 1? Next time I go diving, I think I will get a Suunto D9 with the Transmitter. Then when I drive my 1, I can see the time, and be reminded of the dives!!!!
