(I do love antique wristwatches - especially Omegas!).

My 'daily driver' is a Casio PAG50T:

PAG50T-7V - Pathfinder - Timepiece - Products - CASIO

This is a great 'wear-it-and-forget-it" watch that I have had for almost three years. The titanium case makes it extremely light.

Solar is NICE!

I cracked the crystal on my Pulsar Solar Titanium...

Little specks of glass all over the inside.

I don't wear it, though its the lightest big watch.

Ouch on the cracked crystal! Can you get it replaced?

Purists may not agree, but I would have a hard time choosing a new watch that wasn't solar. Big watches scream for titanium.

Atomic Time FTW!

Do you have any issues receiving the time calibration signal in Calgary? Mine gets finicky about where it likes to receive calibration signals sometimes.

Naw, I probably won't have it repaired.

I'm digging the automatics, though!

Without a winder, I have to switch every day.

Ya gotta live, while you're living. :)

Just picked this up...

Its 18:00 hours, in Germany, where the kid is going for his fellowship.

I adjusted the size of it to fit my wrist because I dislike the look of a floppy watch.

Ah, the feel of it.

Its the biggest watch I have, at 41mm.

No issues here in Canmore receiving time calibration. Works like a charm - when I wake up in the morning, it's been set. It needs to be near a window (mine faces West) and make sure that the receiving module is not blocked by blinds, trees or a building.

Good taste, but I'm a bit prejudice ; )

I would agree that Rolex certainly has a bit more panache than Omega, but I always give the nod to Omega. You can't lose either way...they are incredible timepieces and both are a pleasure to own and wear regularly.

Here's an interesting comparison article:

What the heck is that???? It looks like a really geeky toy, and I've got a son who will turn 18 in a couple weeks, he's a total geekster. I'm thinking he might like it.

The Maurice is only about 3 yrs old but I think is made to look older due to design and the "exploding" roman numerals. $750.00 if anyone interested

MMM it's really vintage looking. Love it!

I also like that Nixon watch on the first page, so I'm not just an antique watch fan.
