Poast your watch

Yes! That watch right above this post is the casio rangeman GPR-B1000! This is my daily wear watch. I'm wearing this right now!
In the old watch threads, I was always going on about the casio pathfinders, of which I have many. even now, I still love the rugged look of the mudman and gravity master watches and own several.
I love this watch. It has a TON of features that are easy to get to because of the digital crown. It's large, but I have a large wrist (8.5) so it doesn't look that bad on me.
Casio has a new one just out that looks a lot like the rangeman, It does heart rate and I think it has a step counter. I'm not currently interested in it, but If I were buying NOW, I'd probably give it consideration.

I never been a big Jewelry person.
I feel funny wearing my wedding ring.
Accessories just ain't me.
That watch is cool and straight to the point.
Nice. What kind of Rolex you copped?
You into "ice" or you like to rock it how it is?

I like this.
I'm not trying to bang on you...
but your watch is suppose to be on your LEFT hand my brother....
So that your right hand can maneuver the buttons.
Reaching over with your left hand,
doesn't feel awkward????

Yes, the ValJoux 7750 has charm. You gotta have at least one in your collection. Everything you said is right on point, including how bulletproof the movement is. I guess I should stop calling it the ValJoux 7750, tho. Since ETA bought them out (and then Swatch bought ETA) they've been calling it the ETA 7750. I gotta move with the times, lol.I have that same movement in my Hamilton Jazzmaster Meistro Chrono. Love that "wobble" where you can feel the rotor spinning. Hamilton has since gone to an in-house movement, which probably would have been better from an investment perspective, but I think the 7750 has charm. Any decent watchmaker should be able to work on it and I won't worry (too much) about finding replacement parts in the future. It's also very surprising what other watches use (or have used) the 7750; Breitling, Tag, Omega, Sinn, IWC, Tissot... have all used the movement at one time or another.
too lazy to properly.. poast, but here's a shot from the web. Mine is identical, with the same faux gator leather strap, but I've added a Hamilton signed deployant buckle to get an extra half inch on the strap (8" + wrist)
Love ball watches as a brand too, though I don't own any. Been looking for the right one for a long time. The Cleveland Express (trainmaster) is on my short list.
I'm currently looking at buying a new watch at the end of the year, then will try to go all of 2021 without making a watch purchase. Trying to decide between the Tudor Pelagos and the Omega Planet Ocean.

Hamilton is another underrated brand. The longer I stay in the watch game, the more I develop an appreciation for boutique brands. The Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer from 2015(?) springs to mind. It's a nice suit watch. Regarding your watch dilemma, I'd go with the Tudor if it's your chillout casual jeans and Tee shirt watch. The Omega is a tad dressier, IMO.
This is my first Ball watch. It's 42mm, but has a 300M WR rating, and an inner diver's bezel that can be locked. Compare it to that Trainmaster you're looking at. Fits under a button-down dress shirt with ease. You probably already know what's up with the tritium tubes on the dial.
Also, the green 15-minute demarcation comes in multiple colors, including a grey, an orange, and a black.
Agreed, I tend to keep my jewelry tasteful and discreet. Nothing gaudy. These days, the only fancy things I wear are watches. The watch in the photo is a Rolex DateJust II, which is the 41mm version. Most earlier Rolexes were smaller than that (38mm) and I prefer larger, legible dials. The model can be purchased with the traditional fluted bezel or the newer, smooth design. That might be more to your liking. (If you want, I'll dig up a pic of the original bezel) I added the diamond bezel, but that's as far as I'd go. You can always swap the bezel out and go with the original look because it's a pressure fitting. For anyone who'd want diamonds on the dial, do not add them aftermarket. You should buy an entire dial with stones pre-added. If not, you'll fuck up the accuracy of the movement. (if the second hand makes contact with those added stones as it rotates, the damage would be in the thousands) As Jay-Z said, "Those ain't Rolex diamonds, what the fuck you done to that?" Just don't. Back on message: Rolex also makes a sub brand called Cellini. They're not gaudy, for the most part. Have you ever looked at Tudor? That's another sub brand of Rolex. Their divers aren't over-the-top at all.
FYI, your watch is supposed to go on your off hand, which helps protect the crystal. Since most people are right-handed, everybody wore their watch on the left hand, and thus it became an unwritten rule. You can buy a left-handed watch with all pushers on the left side, but no one really appreciated that configuration until all of the 50mm monsters came out in the last decade or so. Since the larger crown and pushers would hit your wrist, they moved them to the other side of the watch. I'm a lefty, but I'm so used to wearing my watch on my left hand that I didn't change over once I found out the truth.
I responded to TheTeacher's post with a Rolex remark, then you jumped in with what I assumed was your Rolex on your wrist. I responded with a photo of mine. Perhaps I misunderstood you.

Thank you for the compliment. That might be an idea worth exploring...
Quick question:
Did you come across the Tudor Black Bay yet?
It's called "The Museum Watch" for a reason. TIGHT.Keep it simple...

I only have one Tissot, the T-Touch. I was able to get my hands on the North Carolina blue color, which for some reason wasn't sold in America at the time. I had to buy it from a UK dealer. I'll need to upload a better close-up. For now all I got is a cropped shot of my display box:
It's got a touchscreen for accessing the barometer, compass, altimeter and alarm features.
