Orient Symphony. Absolutely nothing wrong with the watch. Still works great. Bought it at a time when I couldn’t afford much and thought I needed a dress watch. I don’t think I ever wore it to dress up.

I’ve since bought nicer dress watches, and actually use them for dress up. And the Orient just sits in my watch box.

Same. Field Khaki Titanium. I bounce between the leather and the titanium bracelet, but this watch will do just about anything I need it to.

For me, it’s an Oris TT1 Divers Titan. I bout this watch 16 years ago after my daughter was born. I was a paramedic at the time, and wanted something durable to wear on the ambulance. This watch got beat to hell over the next eight years that I was a medic, until I went back to school and switched careers.

I finally sent it in for service and restoration last year, as I didn’t want the (literal and figurative) battle scars it carried anymore. Unfortunately, they couldn’t source the original bezel (which had larger numbers, but the rest is like new. The bezel is from a subsequent release of this watch.
