    Question What watch do you wear?

    Been wearing Seiko since 1978. This is a Seiko Velatura direct drive I picked up about two years ago. Pictured with my CRK large Sebenza 21.

    nice. by looking at the national ser. website, you really may want to watch the clothes also. freeze and hard freeze warnings.

    IMHO it's one of the finest folders made. Materials are fairly common place nowadays, titanium, S30v blade, etc., but the fit and finish is pretty much the standard all others are measured by. Not an inexpensive blade but you get all your moneys worth and them some.

    Some casio that survived not only basic but a few different continents.

    Seiko, no clue as to model... been wearing it for maybe 15 years...
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    Watches, I wear a cheap $29 buck Timex Indiglo digital watch. I have had Accutrons, Seiko and Citizen watches. All of them lasted less than 5 years. I am on my 2nd digital Timex. The first one the frame where the watch band pins fit in wore out and the band let go. That's when I found out the watch case was plastic with a chrome plating on it. Regardless, the battery was still good and it cost so little I am out very little money. When the $389 buck Citizen wiped out that was the last straw. Cheap watches is the way I role. BTW it took 6 years for the Timex to break, took 3 years for the Citizen.

    when I did wear a watch it was the Timex Indiglo had one for years and years. function is practical in the construction world.
    Ok. question guys. do you wear the face in or out? meaning I looked at the inside of my wrist to see the face.
    never saw many wear them that way.
