What watches are you currently wearing or own? Lately I've become a big fan about learning about watches and eyeing some more expensive ones.

Currently wearing:

Citizen Eco-Drive Signature Collection Perpetual Calendar
Model: BL1251-52H


I have been obsessing over the Tag Heuer CV2A10.BA0796 lately and think I might pull the trigger soon. Any other fanatics?

I have an old Omega that my great grandfather gave me that I never ever wear.

But my phone makes a great watch. Tells the time very well. When I am feeling fancy I wear my WeWood Date.

I inherited my grandfather's Condor, I don't plan on wearing another watch as long as this one functions. I love the simplicity of the design, and as he and I were both railway fanatics it is a fantastic memento.

Looks a lot like this, just has a slightly smaller body and more aggressive edges. The other difference is that the second hand on mine is a red tip encircled by a silver hand (and missing the SBB/CFF/FFS/Mondaine in favor of Condor). He wore it with a brown alligator-leather type strap, I put a carbon-fiber look strap on it.

My dad has over 400 clocks and watches, ranging from wrist watches, grandfather clocks, fob watches, carriage clock, car clocks, and many brands like westclocks and Ansonia and many more.... Most of them are 80+ years old.
His pride and joy is his Jaeger le Coultre Swiss Atmosphere Clock.
It runs off of atmospheric changes and never needs to be wound. It also looks very fancy wink.gif

Little kids? I'm a big kid with a sense humor and won't waste money on something that WILL break when I work or work on my cars.

I currently have a Bulova Automatico that my wife got me a few years ago (long with Puma Driftcat shoes biggrin.gif ) as an anniversary gift. I love being able to see all the inner workings of the watch.

My father will eventually hand down my grandfathers Omega Constellation to me since I like watches and my brother has absolutely no interest if it's not digital.

The Breitling counter at the local mall gets a good drooling now and then...

I popped the rear cover off and grabbed "BK14757" from the back. Omega's site has no reference for BK, but brings this up for "CK14757" The hands aren't the same, case is gold vs stainless steel, watch face isn't the same, etc. It is an old watch, and definitely shows it. I suppose that is why I never wear it. If I have to get dressed up I will put it on. This is the closest info I have, but I know it isn't right.
