Lunch after a couple mile runs and yoga:



Nice White Knight but more importantly what is swimming in that gravy

  This one is my favorite...
 

 

 
It is my first mechanical watch!
 
Given by my dad in 2007. Sent to Bienne (Omega repair center in Switzerland).
She came back to me in a pristine condition!
 
Obviously, my dad wanted to take it back.
 
I changed the metal band for a black alligator with orange stitches, and it is always a great pleasure to wear it.
 
She was my 1st, many followed, but she was my 1st!
 
Which one was your most memorable watch?

Absolutely stunning esteB, the first watch my father ever gave me was a Hamilton with small seconds on it. As an orphan two years after he gave it to me it was lost in the shuffle of my life and I have been watching it on eBay for some time now and contemplating but also hoping one in better condition would come up!
 
Here she be:

Thanks!  
 
Chicken katsu, eggs and brown rice swimming in curry at a Japanese curry restaurant.  I had to eat it in the restaurant because the server said health regulations wouldn't let me take it to go.

-I'd probably have to say this Certina (Well, one like it - photo lifted off the web):


My grandfather gave me one on a faux leather band when I was enrolled at school in 1985; I loved it to bits and still have it, though it now needs some TLC. I intend to pass it on to my son once he figures out how to look after things a little - will have my local watchmaker give it a CLA when that happens.

Hi Podster,
 
I really hope you will find it.
I'm often amazed how much watches might be part of family life.

  Anyone a fan of the Nixon 51-30 series of watches? 
 

 
Oversized fashion watch with quartz movement?! No!
LOL

Just kidding, I actually like their looks but man, at $200+ I'm NOT a buyer. At less than $150, I could bite.

I'm not much of a watch geek but I do have their tide watch and it has a swiss movement,   My friend has the chronograph with a japanese movement.... 
 
Whats the difference beside geography??
