If you're a watch lover you want to own a Marathon as a part of your collection. I have a couple of them and they're great. They include cool features like radioactive tritium embedded in the hands and dials. They have been making them for the US and Canadian military for a long time. They are a good starter watch for a collector because of the price and quality. I've been collecting watches for about 30 years and the one that I wear the most is my omega speedmaster professional 007. http://www.marathonwatch.com/product/general-purpose-mechanical-green

My favourite is the Seiko Astron, solar plus GPS time syncing, so never have to replace the battery or set the time. It is a really nice watch if you like large dials. Not cheap though, the titanium version (SAST003) goes for around US$2000. Does GPS sync the date as well?

People still wear watches? I don't think I've worn a watch since I owned a mobile.

People still wear watches? I don't think I've worn a watch since I owned a mobile. To me, it's like men's jewelry that does something more than just hang there. I like automatics because of their history and precision considering they are fully mechanical. Also because my watch will still work when the EMPs drop. lol

Well, having no watch makes you have no style, not that a cheap timex will give you style but lets be serious here, how many times have you been out with friends, cruising around town in the phantom or bentley watchleess, I for one never have and I LOOOOVE my collection.

I don't want all my Bitcoins to go to a watch. if it would take all your btc to buy a watch mentioned then I recommend stacking up on more BTC!

Omega displays middle class and style. Patek Philippe is an ugly display of wealth.

I have a $40 Timex Indiglo I have had it for over 10 years and it never lets me down :p Nice! This was my great grandfathers watch. The story I was told was my great grandmother bought it for him in the 1930s. After he returned from the First World War he refused to buy himself anything extravagant. Instead he spent every penny building their house and providing for them and their children. It's been cleaned by a jeweler every 5 years for 82 years and works flawlessly. Four generations of men in my family have worn this for at least 15 years each. My son will be wearing it soon.
