How do your watches represent you...in five words?
There's a lot of real passion about watches on these forums, so I assume that the watches we love stand for things we value and perhaps represent the way we see ourselves.
I have just two watches at the moment: a 1999 Citizen "Ray Mears" Promaster Tough Watch, and a 2009 Explorer II 16570 (black). I'm a wildlife conservationist by both profession and avocation, and I wear both watches in the field, including in numerous African countries, where the Explorer II's GMT function is appreciated. To me, my watches are reliable, rugged, versatile, useful, and understated.
I try to be the same, although I don't always succeed.
What are five words that stand for how your watches represent you?
