My newest addition... (not my pictures)

Mine doesn't say Wenger on it though... Mine says "Swiss Military" in the spots where this one says "Wenger"

It was a Canadian company I think.

My actualy watch, bought over 7 years ago, other than a few battery changes it works perfectly.

This is my watch, 5.11-Tactical Outpost., very simple model but that's all I need. The best thing about that watch is that I got it free after buying a few things from the 5.11 company.

I have a stainless Wenger calender watch. No pic as I have no camera.

Ok, aside from the really cool Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertical Watch I posted, here are the ones I own and wear.

My sterile dial, no day/date Traser P6502 which I'm wearing right now:

Citizen BM6400, with a custom glass bead blast finish on the case:

And a Pulsar Chronograph model number PJN305 that I wear once in awhile, I had two and kept one:

I like the look of that Traser.

Thanks Ben. Yeah, I really don't need the day/date thing or extra clutter on a watch face. I'm also not a digital guy, I have tried the G-Shock thing and couldn't get along with it. I just like the simplicity of an analog watch. So the Traser is my go-to, do-everything watch. The Citizen is for when I want to change things up a bit and the Pulsar, well it's just kind of neat watch so I keep it around.

Just so people know, if you want a sterile dial, with or without the date, for your Traser or Luminox watch you can still get them through MKII Watches here:
http://www.mkiiwatches.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=Parts+and+Accessories%3ADials%3ASwiss+Movements:27.5+mm

Of course you will have to get someone to install it, but there's lots of people all over the world who can do that.

As long as you don't tell people you want to buy fags when you come to north america.

I was thinking that doesn't translate so well.

Here fags are cigarettes. Still shouldn't be buying them on the way back from school though.

Another very cool gesture

I know all too well that Americans can't understand why I'd wanna put a fag in my mouth... spent plenty of time across the pond educating y'all to the fineries of "English" English

You mean these? There were two versions of the PacMan watch; one had a directional pad and the other had a mini joystick that you would insert into the watch for a more "arcade-feel".

(Photos from handheldmuseum.com)

A new but less interactive PacMan watch is also out. On this watch, PacMan is the second hand and travels around the face of the watch; gobbling up pellets. Only 500 of these watches were produced by Namco.

Thanks a lot again Neil

The watch arrived safely this morning in it's impressively solid Victorinox tin

It's really nice, looks even better than in the picture and is in perfect condition! I'll be sending the other half down to her friendly jewelers at the weekend to get the battery replaced

Remember to check her for credit cards before she goes
