I have an Omega Planet Ocean Seamaster Chronograph and a stainless steel Apple Watch on the steel link bracelet. Amazed at the accuracy of the Omega, it's astonishing that a mechanical watch can keep such good time. Loving the Apple Watch too, it's really growing on me.

I know TAGs aren't known for great movements but always been a fan of the Carreras.

Me too, and have the same model you do. At first, I had doubts about its real usefulness until I received it, but it's amazing to be able to answer phone calls and do texts from your wrist, without fishing out your phone. Text dictation is surprisingly accurate once you get the hang of it. Phone calls are very clear. I've never had the battery fail to last an entire day, while using it a fair amount. It's also forcing me to exercise more.

Of course, there are dozens of other uses, and I'm finding more everyday. Every app that's on my phone is usable on the watch, and I can even monitor my home security cameras or arm and disarm my alarm system with it. Moreover, I have now probably 30 different customized watch faces. It's like sci-fi, but it's real.

Default Omega Seamaster

Not that I wear this gift much but it matches my car so well.

Love the Seamaster. The PAM 562 is a great watch and you'll love the 8 Day power reserve! Nice choice.

Ah watches....

Having lived in Switzerland for many years, in the same town as the IWC factory, watches are one of those things you can't get away from.

I have a small collection but nothing too special.

A Jacques Lemans stainless junker that I wear most days.



Another Jacques Lemans, gents dress watch, rarely comes out.

Another Jacques Lemans, with an enormous dial, bought for comedy value only.

Alfred Dunhill DM7 dual-display Analog/Digital, used to wear it all the time but it was getting knocked around too much. Probably my favourite.



I've got a few more, but nothing special, also some pocket watches.

Nothing nearly as fancy or expensive as some of the watches on here, but it was my first watch that was anything better than a Timex. (And it was a gift from mom and dad.) and yes, it needs a good cleaning!

I wear a 2-tone Breitling Chrono44, but think my old Tag Carrera is the better car watch. I have a 2-tone carbon Hublot on a rubber strap that might be ok, tech looking. Always thought highly of Omega Speedmaster with the orange trim. One of best values for a high quality Swiss watch.

Watches and cars... "these are a few of my favorite things!"

Planning on a 2016 F-type R for spring next year, but already have the watches to wear while driving.. Also have a couple Bremont watches on order that will pair perfectly with the Jag.

I had my abacus on my belt, but my pants kept falling down.

Zenith a good choice. The first fast chrono movement, set the standard. Others only now catching up! My Chronomat 44 scratches a lot, in for polish and tune up as we speak. I have it on a bracelet, got talked out of strap which I prefer!
