I have a couple fancy watches I bought years ago on the secondary/used market (IWC and Tudor). One I wear almost daily, the other a lot less frequently. I could get virtually all my money back if I decided to sell them now (I'd take a bath had I bought them new), and every now and then I think about parting with one anyway. Maybe a rainy day item. I once wore daily an early 70s Timex Dynabeat (pre-quartz, electro-mechanical) that I bought at a yard sale for a quarter because I thought it looked cool. I got more than a decade out of it, then it finally conked out. Not bad.

Interesting thing is is that the older key wound pocket watch has the minute and hour hands the same size and shape. The difference is that the minute hand is silver and the hour hand is gold.

Speaking of old, who remembers this?

My mom has some heirloom watches passed down over the years, one is a large railroad style model, but even though it is cool, I don't know what I'd do with it. But at least they will always have some value due to the cases.
Just about anything is possible if you put enough time and effort into it. You could grow an oak tree in a thimble if you wanted to devote your life to it. I suppose if someone wanted to hand pollinate each ear you could do it with as little as two stalks but why would you when corn is 3 fora dollar?

My Dad had several heirloom watches from my great grandfather, but unfortunately they were taken when my parents house was robbed 5-6 years ago. Never recovered.

You'll never guess who I'll probably sell my '15 Genny to when the time comes.

For HS graduation, my parents gave me an automatic Seiko chronograph, I wore that probably 350 days/yr for 16 years. Still have it, still works, if a little beat up.
I was given an Apple watch, only use that for running to track distance and listen to music. Have a couple of (made for TV brand!) Invictas for kicking around.
I'm in the mood to add to the collection, been looking at Tudors and IWCs, I also like the IWC story, link to New England.

I bought it on ebay very lightly used for about half of original MSRP, due to a promotion. I like blue, I like complicated/chrono watches, and this style mimics a vintage Tudor worth a healthy 5 figures. I'm pleased with it.
The IWC is like this (not my pic, I have no pic of it online, can't upload):
I bought this about 10 years ago, also lightly used at a fraction of original price, for the dial design and AMG tie-in. The numeral font is still used on MB/AMG cars.

Fin, the IWC Ingenieur is on my list, perhaps a Tudor Grantour, but I've been eyeing Black Bay Heritage...

It has nice Roman Numerals for the older watch wearer.
And, it has a kind of, I wish I was a real Rolex look.

Aye, a high quality polish. The name was bought by the originators of the current Shinola brand. They produce a variety of products, but the watch story is why I bought, made in Detroit, hired local labor (ex auto workers) and trained them to be watchmakers. They do use components from around the world, but all are assembled in Detroit.

I have no idea why I just love looking at watches. I have a Movado (which may or may not be a fake; I thought I bought a fake but a jeweler thought otherwise, so maybe it was stolen). My Kenneth Cole is the one in the current rotation I’ve had he longest. The woman I married gave it to me for my first birthday during our first year of dating. The most recent acquisition is a self-winding Stuhrling from the kids. I bought one of those automatic winders for it so it doesn’t stop while it awaits the next fancy function. Next, I’ll likely be taking possession of the Bulova I got my dad for his 70th bday. I have a few more, mostly low end, but I still dig them. One of my faves is a Jack skellington watch.

Of course these days, you can also get a date function on a $10 watch or $100 phone that doubles as a small computer, but where's the fun in that?
