I don't have one; you can use your cell phone. But I don't have a cell phone either.

currently, PAM00107, or the Luminor Marina Regatta 44 Special Edition.
but i do very much like the Radiomir 8 Days GMT in platinum though. shame it is polished as i prefer brushed.

(Nov 1 07, 05:11)you should be. those who are not are not really buying them for the quality or fit, IMO. it is an important article to own/wear/use- the choice is particular to the person.

wearing a watch would give me an existential crisis

No matter what watch I like leather strap..the metal bracelet watches always catch my arm hairs...and I like the look of a weathered leather band on a watch for that wabi sabi-ness.
- hmmm...good point about catching arm hairs. I hate that.Jaline

pam 183 and a 16610
been toying with the idea of selling and changing things up. But there are so many that I like. it's tough. Been liking a lot of the AP's and IWC's lately. And yes, watches are addictive.

"the metal bracelet watches always catch my arm hairs"
As well as the visual reminder that time is indeed passing, it's the pulling of hairs that reminds me I exist.
If I didn't wear a watch, I'd have an existential crisis.

(Nov 1 07, 05:24)yeah i generally go for that or that sort of rubber some have these days... I just dont like shiny stuff too much...
Although some models are MEANT to have the old metal bracelet...couldn't be done any other way... so i give in to those...

(Nov 1 07, 05:30)hehehe i was just about to say that! man i dig all black watches. Although i prefer the other panerai crown and would like to see this with a rubber also...just lke the ones they currently have.
- detritus0
Those Panerai are gorgeous - that black one especially. Are they a new-ish brand? I've only seen them advertised over the past few years.
I'm such a tight-wad though - I'd have to be a millionaire many times over before I'd even consider spending more than a few hundred quid on a watch or any other decorative jewellery - I just think... well, it's a bit ostentatious, isn't it?
So do I consider watches an investment? No - they're just 'things'.
- madirish0
yeah, but the crown of the 00292 is the classic 1950 design- a classic. you can retrofit w/ rubber band as well. it is an option to purchase the band kit.

they have been building timepieces since 1860. not too new to the scene...

(Nov 1 07, 05:37)a classic indeed! i like it, and i think it looks great on that model but it's a personal touch that i would prefer...for myself, that is.
