What kind of Watch does/would GAF wear?

I don't wear a watch. I use my phone. I used to have one, but I just can't stand the feeling, and I always ended up taking it off when I have to work or write, which isn't all that practical. According to OnkelC though I don't have a watch because I'm too poor to buy a nice one.

So very wrong, although I suppose he get's a free pass being the president and all that.

Anyhoo, my watch:

Baume & Mercier chronograph using an ETA 7753 movement.
 
None, watches are ugly and uncomfortable. When I used to, I wore a simple black watch on my left wrist upside down.
 
Skin time™

When I was a kid I wore a calculator watch for like 2 weeks before the novelty wore off and other kids weren't impressed anymore.

When I was in 6th grade one of my friends had a watch that could be programed to act as a remote for a TV. So we sat in the back during a class movie and kept switching the channel, turning it on and off, and messing with the volume. I think we gave our poor teacher a stress heart attack.
 
This is the watch GAF would wear:

Because GAF is a nerd.

Me though, I'm a Tag man. I wear the same Aquaracer as Colbert does.

I did that my freshman year of highschool, 95-96. I probably would've been expelled if they knew about the amount of havoc I wreaked with that thing. At least two VCRs and one TV were sent away for repairs, only to come back as mysteriously dysfunctional as before.

I stopped wearing one ever since I got a mobile phone. What's the point?

I used to think the same way but after going on a trip overseas, I got one since I wasn't carrying a phone there. Since then, I realize how much easier it is to use a watch instead of pulling your phone out all the time. It's way more cumbersome, especially if you're holding things.

That doesn't make any sense. Typically a watch is worn of the wrist that isn't your main hand, ie.e right-handed with watch on left wrist.

Typically true, but for some reason, it's always felt more comfortable for me to wear it on the same wrist as my main hand. Never gets in the way for me at least.

I have this one. I love it.

Regardless I think I need to get another one and switch between them.

And I get lots of compliment from hot women. I love when they ask me to take it off so they can use it for a while. Its always a gigantic tell from them for me to notice that they like me and want something more than just friends.
 
Only watch I ever wanted and finally bought it some years back. All thanks to OnkelC.
edit. prices have gone up again it seems ;) Should have bought two when I had the chance and sell one for profit.
your client seems to ba a true WIS (watch idiot savant) because the meccana was also strictly limited, no chance of walking into a store and picking it up. He went on a search for it or is a regular customer at de grisogno.

on the other end of the price range, i ordered one of these beauties on monday just for shits and giggles:

let's see how far 220USD will take you in chinese watches.
 
My watch:

Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer (model 2220.80.00). It's the model Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale. Absolutely gorgeous piece worth every exorbitant dollar I paid for it.

Same watch Peru has.

My watch since a 2010.
(actually mine doesn't have that "Swiss Made" tag, but another -smaller- that says "Swiss Movement").
