Jealousy is a cruel mistress 
In honesty of my collection of ?? 16 watches .. My Jeans is top 3 .... It's just so wearable
And I most definitely wont take horological advice from someone so indecisive they need to wear 2 watches

my original post with the extreme denim was meant as a joke, which i hope you took it as..
Hi 2CV ... It was most definitely taken in good spirit, 
Actually I was laughing as you were linking me with Britany & Craig on the vaccinated thread was linking me to Sheryl Crow .... I was hoping to be in for an interesting weekend
Bit of a sentmental one, this. At the moment my 86 year old mother is recovering in a care home after a fall which broke her arm, not ideal as we can't even visit her at the moment.
So we've this opportunity to try and clear her house as she's a massive hoarder in an attempt to get it safer for her on her return.
Found this in a drawer belonging to my father who died in 1994 with the mankiest leather strap imaginable.
It must have been consigned to a drawer in the mid-70s when the new LCD/quartz watches came along but I always remembered this one as a kid. It stuck in my mind from about 1969/70 together with brown suits and orange shirts and my dad's friend's light blue Daimler 2.5 V8.
Probably some of my oldest memories.
Half an hour of cleaning, a new strap and it's been keeping perfect time. The scratches look worse in the pictures than they actually are.
Really chuffed to have found it, something to actually smile about at the moment.
Yeah, I know, I should have set the date...

Good memories as a bonus.
Decided to treat my self to a smart/hybrid watch, and to keep track of my steps.. I went for the Garmin Vivomove 3 Luxe, usual watch face with analogue hands when in stand by, it also has a couple of AMOLED screens behind the face, Stainless Steel case, with sapphire glass, so a nice feeling thing. It came with a milanese loop strap, which I didn't like, so purchased this dark brown leather strap instead.
The hands move around to acomodate to what it's showing.
