Today was a fairly rare day as I am wearing a watch that I do not wear a ton but I really care about and will never sell. An RGM SEA3
The reason i care is it was a rare and fun point in time with a great group of guys, when I got it. RGM ran the Ultimate Dive watch forum and told us to design a divers watch and they would build it. This was a very unique opportunity.
We ended up with the Sea3 , as unique as the group who designed it. It had the worlds first dual time bezel to time bottom and decomp times. It had I believe 6 different face colors in two face designs each with 2 sets of hands to choose from. It was limited to 300 total pieces.
When they were done we had to do a week's worth of very hard crossword puzzles and all those who finished were put in a drawing to win one. The moderator wrote on pieces of food and out them in a dish, the one his dog ate first was the winner. I won... yeah I wear it little, its too big and heavy for my tastes and wrist these days. But I do enjoy wearing it occasionally and remembering, VBJ if you are still here I raise a glass in remembrance of those days and guys, including you.

I'm going to say the same thing that I say every time this topic comes up.
When I was a kid every year for Christmas my grandma would buy me a Timex watch. I almost invariably lost it by the end of January.
I bought one of these either right after basic training or at my first Duty station (Peden Barracks Wertheim FRG).
I wore it for three or four years and then at some point I lost it.
After I got out of the army I went to work in a machine shop. I wasn't allowed to have anything on my wrists on the shop floor.
After doing that for about 8 or 9 years I got out of the field and the very first time I put on a wrist watch it drove me nuts.
I actually bought the pocket watch on the left sometime between 2000 and 2005. The one on the right was a retirement gift I gave myself in October of 2021. I've since wondered why you would give somebody a watch when they're retiring and they don't need it anymore?
Bottom line I hate wrist watches they drive me nuts. I don't like anything on my hand I don't even wear my wedding ring. I still have it but I never ever wear it.
So when I get dressed I have a pocket t-shirt on and then a camp shirt on over it. And I wear the pocket watch in the T-shirt pocket and hook the chain to a buttonhole of my shirt. It works great.

Today I spent time clearing brush out back so been wearing my wood wandering watch. Seikovsolar on a Dr James Bond pattern Nato strap with a clipper compass. Seiko has the best longest lasting lume in the business. If it's charged before bed you can usually still seeing dimly 8 hours later. This is still an hour after coming in. Got to figure out why these pics are showing rotated, never dis before.

Do you not know how to use your watch as a compass?
