Watch perfection?

I feel like there were other watch threads but can't seem to find em. Just picked this one up in time for the upcoming playoff run. Not my usual style but they were on crazy sale so I treated myself.

That booger looks like a monster. My wrist aches just looking lol.

Wear it in good health my friend. The Wings did better this year, long ways to get back to thier glory day form but there is hope.
 
I have some nice watches but since I retired for me it’s hard to put a watch on you the iPhone that’s all you need . But I do try in fact this week I have the tag on I hate wasting them I do keep them going because I think if you let the battery die it might leak in there

I have gone the other way, used to like them in the 44, 45 mm size but now 40 is preferable. Much larger than that automatics tend to be too thick and heavy for all day comfort these days.

I am looking a decent ricebead bracelet for this one now to dress it up a tad sometimes.

I've got a nice Bulova Automatic, it might be my favorite. If I ever decide I want to really splurge, it would be on a Breitling most likely. But i'm just not sure I could ever spend that much on a watch.

My all time favorite watch is a 1969 Bulova Snorkle. Bought it in early 70s by mowing lawns. It's the right one in this pic.

I did the expensive watch thing when I was working in IT. Sold them all off and actually helped fund a hunting cabin when I got the epiphany that the last one I bought a Rolex GMT Master with peosi bezel like that citizen did not bring me 100 times more joy than my cheaper ones. As a matter of fact all I did was worry about dings.

I am a sucker for dive watches, cushion cases, coin edged divers bezels, pepsi GMTs, rice bead bracelets and orange dialed divers lol all of which with the exception of the Pepsi bezel were present on the very fist watch I bought which created my taste, the 1969 Bulova Snorkle "Devil diver" so called because it was water proof to 666 feet.

The Pepsi GMT came from Magnum PI, which Tom Selkeck still wears. It was the only prop he took after the show.
