Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

Here are the parts of my collection that haven't been posted here. From left to right: the Citizen Eco-Drive I bought on a Caribbean cruise with my family; Fossil my wife bought me at our two-year dating anniversary (in 2000); a Movado I can't remember anything significant about; the Tag Carrera my wife bought me for my 30th birthday (in 2008). I don't think I've worn anything but the Tag in the last 10 years.

The Timex was my dad's dad's watch - the one he was wearing when he died on the golf course. This watch doesn't currently work and I've never worn it, but I feel like it'd totally be normal in Seattle hipster fashion. I'll give it to someone in the next few years to give a once over and see what can be done with it.

Great collection and stories! Your grandfather's watch and story reminds me a lot of the watch that got Joey into the hobby. Being a Timex with a quartz movement, I bet it only needs a battery to get going again. That would be a really cool gesture to get it running again and wear it in his honor!

When I get my Aurora and SKX back from the watchmaker and the Nighthawk arrives, I'll also have to put together a shot of the collection as it sits right now 8)

I bought an apple watch today. Not sure why other than because it was on sale. It's pretty nifty to have notifications on my wrist and the voice to text is surprisingly good.

Nice purchase! Let us know what its like to live with after you get some more wrist time with it! I feel like smart watches originally got a lot of flak from the snootiest watch enthusiasts, but in some ways they have really started to prop up and may potentially save the dying watch industry. Smart watches are starting to get people wearing watches again... so even the watchmakers that haven't built a smart watch yet are at least getting some exposure to new generations of buyers
