Have an IWC one that I use about 7 days a month or so. Its cirka 1917 if i recall correctly and somewhere along 6xx calibre I forget what exactly. Gold plated silver with pretty much all traces of gold worn off ( I never quite understood the whole gold plating thing myself). When I wear this one in lieu of the wrist watch I have a chain attached to one of my belt hinges and then the watch in a front pantpocket. For me, the cellphone removed any reason to own a quartz watch.


Next one in line will probably be a pilot remake by one of the five manufactures for the German Luftwaffe in the ww2 era.


Ps. If you wish to honour tradition a bit, you ought to make sure the watch is "smiling" for future photographs. Yours is frowning
