[NSC] Wristwatches,do you wear one ?

[ozzygull]

I now wear a smart watch as the screen lights up and I can read it without glasses

I have a very nice Tag Heuer watch from about 25 years ago, but being a woman's watch the face is small so I would need glasses to be able to tell the time on it now. It is a shame, but having to find glasses every time I needed to tell the time would drvie me nuts.

This is unlikely to go anywhere so please don't waste too much time on your replies.

Does anyone have a Dan Henry watch?
Are they available in the UK? (can't find a stockist on line)
Do we have to pay duty if buying direct from them?

I could happily buy at least 3 of these (but as said probably won't buy any)

Apple Watch for day to day and then a selection of smarter watches for occasions including one very nice one that I treated myself to years ago. I bought one of those Glass watch cases and I get a disproportionate amount of pleasure of choosing my watch for the day and taking it out the case.

I don't have one but this guy seems to do honest reviews , he likes the 72 and the alarm is far easier to set than my Junkers with a Ronda quartz ..

Thanks - The YouTube is my go to move and yet oddly I didn't think to check reviews for these.
I shall deep dive later.

Can anyone recommend a reputable replica watch seller?
I want an IWC watch but don't want to pay £7k for one. I know you don't get the same design quality and durability as real ones but I want a replica to keep me 'ticking' over for the next year or so...if its lasts of course...!!!
Thanks in advance for anybody who can recommend a seller used in the past.

I have worn this watch almost every day since June 2003.
It was a gift from my late father and engraved on the back. I have had the glass replaced a few times as it does get scratched. But it still keeps perfect time.

 

[Stat Brother]

Blimey, I'm half a dozen videos in for Dan Henry on The YouTube, struggling to find a bad word.
Some of the reactions are borderline pornographic!

I lost two watches last year - a Rotary I’d had for about 30 years and a Fitbit, which doesn’t count. The straps broke on both and they fell off my wrist.

I got this for Christmas. I feel “naked” without a watch. It wasn’t ridiculously expensive, and I love it.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

It's odd, as mentioned before I have a few watches yet use my phone if I want to tell the time

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Generally not, but occasionally when get all smart for a wedding etc.

My daily wrist piece.

Don't really have the need these days always having a phone with me. When I do, I dig out my Omega I bought from the NAAFI duty free in 1983 for £110. Worth considerably more now. Broke me to buy it at the time. That's a lot of beer tokens when your 18.

Can't recommend a site but unless it's specifically an IWC brand name you want to be wearing if you look up homage watches of the model you want you might find something similar

 

[South Oz Seagull]

Referring to the IWC "homage" person in particular, wearing a knock-off is a bit cheap and nasty. Perhaps go to one of the reputable "gray market" sites and have a look for something that's genuine and doesn't cost the earth.:

After years of paying to have my Breitling watches serviced by Breitling at a cost of about £600 minimum and taking up to 4 months to return, I found a local horologist who gives the same level of service in under a week for £120 all in.

Yes, I wear it in bed but not in the shower. I am not sure if it’s waterproof . Do most people sleep wearing one ?
