Nice watch!

I wouldn't mind one of these, not holding my breath...

I got this great Rolex in Times Square from this guy for only ten bucks.

Limited edition, it has the patented GreenSkin feature built into the gold.

The band is a fake, though. It's not real leather.

Doh! I meant a Citizen Skyhawk and diver's watch of some sort, not Seiko! The Skyhawk is Eco-Drive, I'd have to go dig in my sock and underwear drawer and look at the diver's watch. Now, let this be a warning to you youngsters! If you spend fifty-some years eating out of aluminum pans, you'll get like this when you're my age!

BTW I've set the watch 5 days ago and when I just re-checked the time it only went less than 4 seconds to fast. That's excellent for a mechanical watch.

Yep, pretty good. I have to reset mine once a month, about 3 minutes.

Nice item, a bit too discreet in looks for my taste, but the back is really nice.

That's nice smile My Constellation runs a couple of minutes fast per month, but then again it's 48 years old smile

A couple of minutes a month wouldn't bother me either with a mechanical watch since just looking at a watch and realizing that it really "works" instead of just generating electrical impulses is something I really like.

Very nice! I have one of the replica WWII Luftwaffe watches (Beobachter Uhr) made by Laco, and it keeps the time flawlessly.
