WATCH COLLECTORS.... MARCH 2017

Welcome all watch collectors.   We love chatting about watches we have, watches we are looking for, and great finds.  Whether you have a small or a large collection, we are happy to have you join in the discussion or ask a question.

 

Does March madness extend to watches or is it a sports only thing?

Re: WATCH COLLECTORS.... MARCH 2017

Thx for the new thread, LavJ.  Time flies, we must be having fun.  Lol.

I've been wearing my new blk Spinel everyday and it's such a nice wearing watch.  

It's a sunny snow covered ground here today.  I'm ready for spring.  Struggling through another winter.  Those poor people getting hit with a tornado this time of year.  Not good.  Hate summer because of that.  

Ok, naturally the WOTD is my Black Spinel.  

What is yours?

Hi all,
LavJ, thanks for starting the thread. I had to have emergency oral surgery. So much stress! Sitting here with ice packs, etc. I kept it simple with watches:.Grand Diver.

Lots of rain and wind here today.

 

I'm finding that now that I'm home a lot, I often don't wear a watch. I'd better start, to give some of them some wrist time!

 

Java: Oh no! Feel better soon.

Java:  fell better soon.  Maybe watch shows tonight can distract you.

 

Jazzy:  I have the same 'problem'.... don't wear a watch at home so my collection isn't getting enough wrist time.

I have this watch in all silver tone.  It's a very pretty watch but a little hard to read.  You have to search through the maze of abalone to find the hands to tell, the time. 

 

By the way, I wear a watch each and every day.  I feel undressed without one.

Same here Kachina. I wear a watch every day too. Only there are times I find I never look at it. It's there like a piece of jewelry. I do go without my ring(s) though. Smiley Wink

Re: WATCH COLLECTORS.... MARCH 2017

Hello all,

 

Still in recovery, LavJ and Jazzy: thanks for your kind wishes. 

 

I wear a watch most of the time. When you think about it, you can enjoy it and be at home. It's not like a handbag.  Handbags are meant to carried about during your day. I feel lost without a watch. I can look at my cell, but a watch is there on the wrist and you just look at it. It's also a way to be different. I have always had a thing for watches and didn't associate my fondness for them as being odd or a "masculine" thing.

March is often a big time for watches. 

 

Daylight savings begins March 12, 2017. That's when I usually look over my watches and if I don't need to change the time, it means it hasn't been worn. It's also a good time to see if I need battery changes.
