Used and Abused

[Eighteeteewhy]

I just posted this pic in the "G-Shock" thread and thought it might be interesting to see some used and abused watches. It's all very nice showing off your pristine watch that only gets used twice a year but let's have a look at some that have seen some action!
The more dented, scratched and battered the better!


Almost 20years old and still going strong.

Given to me by my old man 4 years ago and he had it for years... 2 screens and a battery later.

My kind of thread.





Finally, something a bit more pricey.

Bugger! I've had the Rolex rebuilt from scrap twice and never thought to take pictures.

What were Flemmings words?

'Bond glanced at his battered old Rolex'

Words that describe my GMT II exceptionaly well.

There was the magnet that ruined the self winding mechanism followed by the vice handle that smashed the glass which filled the watch with shrapnel not to mention the time I dropped it that made it randomly stop...

Fantastic.

Those pictures give an insight into the quality of both the watch and the owner
Fabulous

It's a brilliant watch, I changed the battery on mine about 6months ago. I think it was the first one. The best thing about it is the backlight which is much better than my newer Gs.

Not bad for a desk diver I suppose
