Benji, those diesels are DOPE!

I've just been rocking the same Fossil that I got for free at my Junior-year after-prom party giveaway. Someday I'd like to get a really nice skeleton automatic winder, likely a Stührling.
Thank you sir . I use to really like the Diesel brand a lot.

Breitling is def on my list of watches to own.... When I take flying lessons (when I am making 100k a year its a goal to take flying lessons) I will then buy a Breitling professional series.
I almost bought one a couple years ago whilst waiting for a connecting flight in London, duty free area brings out the worst in me. I then remembered that the price in Pounds was the same as in Dollars, but without the exchange difference, so I stopped myself.

I still want one though. I am also looking for a Graham Chronofighter, with the orange accents.

I have a plain old Timex Expedition. It has a cloth/velcro band, it lights up, has a secondary digital timer with stop-watch and date, and I can continue to beat the living crap out of it and not care if it breaks. And it's GREAT! My old one lasted probably five years before it succumbed to death by way of cracking it against a submerged rock while whitewater kayaking.

I also have another watch that I wear on the weekends. Weighs three pounds (not really), but I like the technical aspect of being able to see all the gears and gizmos spinning around inside. It's an automatic. A cheap one, but good enough for what I want it for.
