    This is my travel watch. It's getting a little hacked up. I bought it the first time I went to Rio de Janeiro. I heard there was a lot of theft there (I never had problems).

    Now I wear it to bed when I am traveling because of how the face lights up when you press the crown. Its great in the middle of the night when I have no idea what time it might be.

    I got this watch given to me by a client who buys and sells new and used watches of all kinds. It's become one of my favorites. Apparently it's discontinued now, but retained for about 500 bucks. Ha, just noticed, I need to set the time for daylight savings..

    I had an Indiglo watch years ago. Took it off while doing some work on a car and set it on the cowl. Forgot it was there and took the car out for a test drive when I was done. The watch was gone. I looked everywhere inside the car and up and down the road. No idea where the heck it went, but it was gone. The Indiglo part was a cool party trick at the time.

    Ballast Trafalgar on today. Bigger watch but I like it. Unique part of this watch is you set and wind it using the rotating bezel.

    Where's all the other low brown watch guys? ;)

    Was packing stuff up and decided on just a few watches to keep out with me. Haven't worn this one in a while. Baby Orange Monster Seiko. Need to send it in for service someday, crystal seems cloudy to me and has a big scratch. Still wear it though and it still runs well.

    This was an impulse purchase a couple years ago from Costco. I saw it in the display case and had to have it. It's the watch I wear the most actually.

    I have a Citizen Titanium watch. Only two things I don't like about it, solar power so if it's not getting light while sitting it'll die and potentially not work again. And for some reason the bracelet on mine keeps pinching me and pulling hairs. Annoying so #2 leads to me not wearing it which leads to #1 being an issue.
