Watches - another OCD problem

The crown is underneath that larger crown cover

Basically, I am a ham fisted prat. Over the last few weeks, I have managed to take most of my watches out of commission. This is the last one standing…..

Seul

Don't tell me you managed to kill the Patek?.. What did you do: take a bath with it this time?..

rocket

don't understand that either, get yourself a G-shock, or something like this…

Giles

Nope, the winder fell off. It is in a sealed plastic bag in the safe with the rest of the watch waiting for me to save up enough to get it fixed….

I just found this:

Think I have to get it. It is manual though… don't know if I'll remember winding.

Chris

You'll get used to it surprisingly quickly. My usual watch is a manual wind, and it's just part of the routine to wind it before putting it on in the morning. I think I've only forgotten to wind it once.

I'm ambivalent in how much sympathy to feel for you, Giles. Yes, it sucks to break the Patek, but a JLC is one hell of a backup. I think I could live with that one as a daily wearer.

I am going though a stage where so many things I want is coming my way and I can't possibly afford them all. Can anyone relate?

Here is one

here is the link to the watch, & they have a few of them. i just wanted a blue faced watch that wasn't too expensive & i wouldn't mind if i destroyed it (which i tend to do)

it's really nice & a hell of a bang for the buck. i'll try to take a few more pictures tonight. really thinking about getting a beige face as well so i can switch them out. got a cheapo ~~deployment~~ deployant buckle & a few other straps to switch out to keep me entertained for a little bit
