There he goes......

Lenny's lost the plot again !

Well sort of !
You know how I like to diverge occasionally!

The fact is that a lot of people who are into nice vehicles/trucks also appreciate fine wristwatches.
Something about machinery and engineering at opposite ends of the spectrum of scale.

There are several highly respected and well known car enthusiasts who also collect high end or notable wristwatches.

So does anyone with a KR / Supercrew enjoy a nice timepiece.

As a pilot I have a Breitling Navitimer and just found on E Bay a Beautiful Longines Lindbergh "Hour Angle" replica, which Lindbergh actually designed to help with navigation while flying his famous TransAtlantic journey.

The Favre Leuba logo at the bottom represents the worlds second oldest watch house and if anyone comes across any....let me know!

PS Most days I forget to put a watch on or wear a Casio !

Well, I did upgrade my $3.95 watch to a $39.95 Lorus, does that count?

Sector...

I bought a Sector while I was in Italy, it was that or a Tag Heuer but the Sector beat it out hands down in not only cost, but workmanship...


It's a work of art!

Tissot make some very good watches.
I have a Tissot "Janeiro". A chronograph replica of a watch that was very popular in Brazil in the 30's when that was a big market for them.

Casio Gshock (the older model - pre indiglo).

Also have a Polar Heart rate monitor that doubles as a wrist watch.

Lenny,

I've got a few decent Seiko's, but for the most part, I wear real cheap watches like Timex and Casio. I can ruin a watch in one second since I work around machinery every day.

I don't risk ruining a watch, they are too expensive, at least the better ones are. The most expensive watch I have still only cost a couple hundred bucks, not that much but too much to wear to my work place.

~DM~
