Any Swiss Automatic Watch fans/collectors here?

Man... I’ve got nothing to add of coolness value and am still way in the cheap/fashionable stage... but I do really like watches and would have a pile of them if I had the coin.

I’d pretty much exclusively had digital watches as a daily up until 3-4 years ago when my old lady got me one of the Seiko Solars w/a 24 hour face for military time. It’s nothing fancy but I sure have enjoyed it and have mentioned a fancy watch as a retirement present.

Another cheapo watch (my only other analog) is a Vostok I’ve had a number of years. It’s sort of an underway timepiece... for the novelty and irony of taking a Russian watch featuring one of their boats underway on a US boat.

I love seeing the (for real) cool watches and am envious. Makes me dream a little about getting a “real” watch. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! I also own a Vostok!

Giving someone a watch as a present is seen as a display of love, kindness, and generosity in today's world. This, however, hasn't always been the case. As a result, the motion came to be known as a sign of counting down the days, giving rise to the modern superstition of bad luck linked with timepieces given as gifts. I gave these Military watches to my father and uncle because they were soldiers during WWII.
