i have a few from my grandfather. one wrist watch went through WW2 on some kind of british aircraft support boat or something. it's got a cool hand painted picture of a boat and a plane on it. i don't carry them though. my daily pocket watch gets 4mbps.

I do have a pocket watch...custom engraved and everything. I also have a wind-up wrist watch that I inherited from my grandfather.

I don't carry them on a regular basis, though.

Haven't got a monacle yet, but I would like one.

I was oddly thinkin about looking into a monocle as well

I do love my pocket watch, but it is a pain to wind every morning

when i was younger i wore a windup from my father. during my "party days" i would carry a broken caribiner watch that i found on the beach that had the dial replaced with a paper saying "No time like the present". i dont like wrist watches because of riding a moto it always screws with my wrist with the gloves and jacket... and pocket watches are so heavy compared to my phone. these days wrist watches and pocket watches are more for style than anything else.

JohnnyBravo · October 31st, 2014, 12:46 PM

Haha some days I wanna put that paper in my pocket watch

Indeed I do have a it of a classical style in some ways... Better than showing my underwears an having no respect

alex.s · October 31st, 2014, 12:48 PM

on the topic of showing underwears. just a few minutes ago i realized my fly has been down (at work) for at least 3 hours.

I love pocket watches. I am a trained watch maker. And the pocket watch is like a giant dinosaur. They are fun to work with.

Desmoluci · October 31st, 2014, 07:43 PM

My Sis gave this one to me for my birthday a couple of years ago.
