Ye olde threade...

Easy pick for me...my Suuntos. I've lost count of how many peaks in the Rocky's and the Sierra's I've climbed with my Suuntos. Every now and then, she gets a ride on a chairlift when i get a case of "The Mondays".

I have a Hamilton Conservation International Navy GMT on the natural leather band that I adore. I also dig my Tissot Visodate. For its price point the quality is excellent and Im not sure Ive really ever seen a dressier watch.....hmm....

Yesterday I found my Father's Vintage Breitling Navitimer(mechanical wind) in my belongings and now I am attempting to figure out how old(I believe from 1954-1957...it's an #806) it is and who to send it to to be overhauled. The time function works fine but the stop watch does not work and needs to be looked at by a professional!!!

Thanks sir! Can't pick one though Alex---Like them all for different reasons!! With that said the 5070P and DS would be hard to top IMHO!

But the ZW and 5960P are super cool....

And the RB2 Ti and JLC Duo QL are so unique...

And the warmth of the 5980 with brown dial is hot!

Did I cover all the bases?

Your pic made me sad.
My GSAR has been in for an overhaul for a couple (3?) months now.
No emails being answered since last month.
May need to add it to my list of MIA favorite watches :(
