I like watches, for their functional beauty more than their place as the trappings of wealth. I wore a plain simple Smiths pocket watch (no jewels, 30 hour movement and glow in the dark hands and dial) for ages because it fitted my top jeans pocket perfectly That and its a damn sight nicer to read a nice big dial than squint at the digital screen on my phone. I wear, on the very odd occasions that I need to look smart, a Rolex Oysterdate that my uncle gave my father in the early sixties. Its NOT showy, infact its very understated and few people recognise it as a Rolex, keeps time well and is an absolute beauty to clean and work on. The clockwork is superb, almost fully jeweled but its very sensitive to oil so works best in summer haha. Got a nice scratch across the glass circa 1965 from when dad came off his Thunderbird I downright refuse to wear anything quartz, they're just too good at telling the time and there's no warmth or soul from them.
