When or where WOULDNT you wear a watch?

So, aside from wearing your Rolex on the wrong side of the tracks, or your Omega while putting up drywall, are there times or places where you don’t wear your watch?

I was thinking about this today, and despite the fact that I assumed I generally wear mine everywhere, I realized that I actually leave it off more than I would have thought.

This makes sense at home. For instance, I don’t usually wear one when working on the car I’m restoring, because I don’t want to scratch the paint. I…

Let’s see your NO DATE wrist shots!

Maybe I’m alone in this category since I have seen so many posts about the importance of a date function but I don’t care for a date window on my watches. My personal reasons being:

1) I find no date watches more symmetrical
2) I have very bad eyesight (yes I should probably get a cyclops watch)

My only two date watches were bought because I loved the watches and nothing to do with the date.

If I’ve doubled up on an existing thread, please have the Mods merge this with the older thread, Thanks.

Let me kick things off with a recent acquisition, an Indian made, Titan chrono:

It starts with not being able to find that one watch and the road to making it a reality for myself.

The starting point in my search was to find a reasonable flat watch for daily use with a diameter of around 38mm. With a good balance on the dial. Small second at 6 o’clock. No date. And from behind view of a nice…

Let’s see your countdown bezel watches

I have searched this site for countdown bezels a few times and realized that the only hits seemed to be related to specific questions. In one of those threads there was a list of brands that offer or have offered watches with this type of bezel but I could not locate it again (lesson learned: use the “Save” or “Follow” function).

I would love to see a compilation of watches with countdown bezels, thus this thread.

Please include the brand and reference / model name or number so if someone…
