MMM - you may have found my ideal watch ^^. I'm skint though.

on the same theme ,,, they might need tidying up though. maybe a simple leather strap on the hamilton rather than the metal n it at present.

Scroll down to his reply about why he sent it off to Omega to get a new strap fitted, made me giggle.

Chronographs are so bourgeois ;D

Another mundane wearer here

Nice. Looks like a Victorinox

Nice. Looks like a Victorinox

i was thinking the same. maybe it's the combination of the functional dial and that red and white logo.

My favourite watch

Better pics to follow when it arrives in the post.
Any info would be fantastic.

last week i gave this little favourite of mine lots of daytime outings.

Today I am rocking this little gold number, made by Hindustan Machine Tools, and costing about £20 from India.

It's small and slim, 23.5 carat gold plated, and the movement is the HMT20 - a licence-made 17-jewel Citizen hand-wound.

little sideways one - my favourite lighter, Dunhill Rollagas - the flip lid mechanism is a little hydraulic arm

ha, used to have one of those years ago, then some bastard nicked it.

deffo wasn't me :^]

superb watch had one as a kid helped me get my cse grade 5 maths

AND ITS GOT A CALCULATOR ON IT get in there

This was the last watch i owned

not owned one since.. can't get on with them but i am loving Max Bill you got there Ade.. that is the first watch i have been excited about.. ever!

why doesn't it surprise me that Greasy doen't own a watch…

a beautiful feature of those lighters is the way that the flint chamber is openeed, i think it's such a great piece of engineering. i always wanted a solid silver one of those when i smoked, got one then lost it / left it in a taxi :-(

The Watch Idiot Savants (WIS) over at timezone.com always start threads about which watch they are wearing today.

Are we beginning to do the same?

If so, Hamilton Piping Rock.
