My wife gave me a Bulova back on 2002. It still works and still looks great, even after 2 years in Afghanistan.
I normally break a watch every 18 months to 2 years, so a watch lasting 8 years for me is phenomenal.

I gave my wife a Raymond Weil about 12 years ago. It still looks like brand new and she wears it every day. I wear a $23 Casio digital because it's light weight, I can easily read it at night and the handy light will illuminate a hotel room bathroom so I can aim without turning on the bathroom light....
 I have a 1975 Omega Constellation that I wear when I need to dress a little snappier.

My wife gave me a Seiko Automatic about 10 years ago. Wear it every day. Never needs a battery. Runs perfect. Does need a new lens, (glass) only cause it has 10 years of scratches.

Wenger here - looks good casual and dressed up, wear it until the battery dies, then get a new one.

Last Christmas, my wife chipped in and together we bought me a Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Analogue time, date and a second set of hands for another time zone...which I have set to UTC time since I'm in the aviation industry.
Really nice watch.

I wore a Citizen Blue Angel Chronograph for years, but now wear a black faced Skagen slimline from Denmark.
I almost never used the remaining miles/fuel calculator on the chronograph, anyways.  Kurt |

Seiko Quartz.
I do have a hand me down Rolex that quit working after I was at the Grand Camen Island and swimming with the sting rays. It got a litted fogged up and I guess when the salt water dried it crystalized the salt and stopped it. I need to get it cleaned one day but right now cannot afford to do so.

I have a timex expedition I wear everyday, I think I am on my 3rd, they last me about 18 mos to a year. They still work when I get a new one but look like ***** at that point. I have a helbros I inherited as well as another fancy one. Got a really good deal on a fancy "rolex" in Iraq too, never thought you could get one of those for 20.00. Actually i was amazed buy this guys persistance, so I gave in a bought it. The crazy part is it looks really good keeps good time and fakes out 95 % of the people I have shown it to. Mark

I have a gold sieko and an old accutron. The batteries have beed dead in both for years.
I never wear a watch. My wife inherited a 10,000. rolex from her mother. My watches are correct two times a day. Her's is never correct - needs a 700.00 tune-up. What a piece of crap. Jon |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
