Re: Which watch do you own?

My dad presented me an ALLWYN watch when i passed 10th Std during the year 1990. I remember visiting a famous watch shop near Mylapore in Chennai back then but don't remember the shop name. Watch may not be in running condition today but it’s a priceless possession for me.

Well, this is my current one.

Apologies for going O.T. But is it the same Allwyn as in the now dissolved Allwyn-Nissan or the makers of Allwyn Pushpak (Hyderabad Allwyn)?

Re: Which watch do you own?

My recently acquired (6 months ago) CITIZEN ECO DRIVE 4500-16X. It was an Impulse Purchase but no regrets. For 25K INR, the quality of the watch is great. I'm also getting more looks and loads of people are interested to know what the piece is. All in all, I'm happy to own one

Re: Which watch do you own?

This piece of watch I imported directly from Japan as this particular version is not directly sold by Citizen outside Japan. Working flawlessly for last 12 years and has been my daily use watch. Full titanium case with titanium bracelet sits unbelievably light on the wrist. The watch supports 1 hour chronograph, alarm, leap-year date corrections and world-clock.

Re: Which watch do you own?

I have a swatch ag 1995. Wearing it as I am typing

The watch is stock except battery. There is some minor wear and tear and one of the buttons is not working, also the hook(clasp I believe) is broken.

But it is built like a tank, many a times i accidentally dropped it and saw no damage.

Good watch my dad gave me. I used to wear it for arm wrestling in class, sports etc.

Never gave me an issue.

What a busy dial. On a day to day basis, do you get a need to use any of those extra features?

On an OT note, kind of reminds me Amir Khan’s iconic dialogue from the movie 3 Idiots (about his simple watch that shows the same time).

Looks pale yellow in the sun and off white indoors. Retrograde. Bought it off a collector's auction in Vegas!

Alas, my primary driver is a galaxy watch 4 LTE 46 SS Classic black. Why? Cause it helps me find my darned phone and take calls while I work on the car. Thank you, Mahindra!

And then one that I lost, and sorely miss, with a sapphire crystal nonetheless.

And this last one, was a formal daily wear to work.

Re: Which watch do you own?

Hello !!

For me what started as a single watch, Skagen in 2020 Is an obsession, now . Have been constantly buying or receiving them as gifts !! Birthday and Shaadi . I have been seriously told to stop buying watches. The collection isn't nothing extravagant, but serves me well. Please ignore the car band !!

Re: Which watch do you own?

Got back into watches a year back, after almost 5 years of being smartwatch only. After much back and forth, I have decided to be the doofus who wears two watches on both wrists, so that I can get my data, and still wear my nice watch.

That said, today on the wrist is my green waffle dial Tissot PRX 40mm.

Looks exquisite! Seems to match well with your garment, too. I had seriously considered purchasing the PRX until I tried it in person. The watch (lug-to-lug) proved a cut too large for my dainty wrists
