Pretty sure I won't be the only one here, so thought I would create a thread for watches and horology.

Please no fake Rolex's or horrendous 'fashion' watches! ?

I have a fairly modest collection, but my latest addition considering it's military heritage I thought would be a good place to start for a forum like this! 

Bought my second Marathon...

I've been after one of these for ages, and found one local to me on eBay for a very good price, and only a year old.

Marathon GSAR '41mm Automatic'

'The Marathon Diver’s Automatic, also known as GSAR, is a dive watch built to ISO 6425 standards. Designed for use by Search and Rescue (SAR) divers, and issued to the United States Marine Corps'

A proper tool watch, its going to get a lot of wrist time!

I love the Tritium tubes, they really do look fantastic in low light.

I suppose my collection of Casio G Shocks falls under the horrendous fashion banner? :D

Not at all mate! There's nothing wrong with a good digital watch. Especially a G-Shock! 

I've got one in my collection, and it's a very dependable time piece. ?

This is my everyday watch 

It’s a two line Tudor Pelagos on a Toshi strap.

I’ll let you decide if it’s a replica or not ?

I'd love a Tudor Pelagos! I tried a five line version on a couple of months ago. Was surprised how light it was being that it was titanium. 

Maybe one day I'll be able to get enough pennies together for one! 

 
Given my penchant for everything Cold War related, I have a small collection of Vostock Kommandirskie Amphibias from the old Soviet Union.  Really nicely put together winding watches.  One white letters on black face the other black on white, nice big red star on them.  They are fairly collectable as well but won't break the bank.  One below is similar but mine hasnt got the date on it.

I love my mudmaster, not the £850 one but the 'poor man's' £200 one. I got sucked in big time. Used to spend all day, 5 days a week getting dirting on vibrating machinery (no!) and it still works. Maybe like any old cheap watch I could've bought probably would have. But it looks cool to me and if it breaks then it's not that special after all ?

It does bug me that they didn't put their solar power tech into it though. Rrp at 300 and no solar power is a bit of a piss take considering I could've bought their solar power 5610 module from argos for 50 quid a couple xmases ago

 
To be honest, it'd fool me! ?

Even if I got within millimetres I'd not know.
