[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 2659190, member: 684"] I've worn a watch for about 38 years now. My brother gave me my first when I was about 10 years old. I never could get used to the heft of the watch and the way the twist-o-flex band pulled the hairs on my wrist (yes, I was a hairy ape even at 10 years old) so I kept taking it off and laying it down. Well, we went to Ada one afternoon, ate at KFC and I took my watch off and laid it by the sink to wash my hands. I think everybody knows what happened next. Yup. I forgot it. :faint: What's worse is I didn't realize it for a couple of days when my brother asked where my watch was. I told him what happened and the worst part was - [B]HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME![/B] :cry3: He thought I gave it away or some older kid at school stole it or whatever. Since that day, I have worn my watch everytime I am vertical. I am totally lost without it. And as for the kids who say they don't need a watch because they can look at their smart phones? I tried that too and it was just bothersome to have to reach into my pocket, retrieve my phone, press the power button and then see the time when all I really gotta do is rotate my damned wrist! :ugh2: It just goes to show you...the old way still rules. :thumb: Here's the watch I wear today. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i260.photobucket.com_albums_ii8_bluehatdeals_0420_c.jpg[/img] The Invicta model 0420. Automatic movement, water resistant to 200 meters, 45mm titanium case and 22mm bracelet, magnified date window, screw down crown and exhibition case back. I bought this Invicta in July of this year and it has never lost or gained a single minute. Hands down the best watch I've ever owned. [/QUOTE]
