Finally got a new watch. It’s pretty much the same as my old one (I think on page 1 or 2 of this thread) that I’ve been wearing for many years now. But I’ve wanted a chrono and I like the look of this one. And it was on clearance so that helped. As much as I love fancy watches, I can’t bring myself to spend more than a couple hundred bucks on one.

I used to buy cheap digital watches, remove half of the band, and carry them in my pocket. I've worked with my hands all my life, and learned early not to wear watches or any kind of jewelry on my hands or arms. I even told my wife before we got married that I don' wear rings, ever. As a gearhead though, I do love those fine mechanical watches, even if I would never wear one. Mechanized art.
That's neat!

While I do take my wedding band off when I punch in, I do wear my Apple Watch at the shop. Digging into my pocket with a gloved (maybe super dirty) hand to fish the phone out of my pocket to see a text or just see the time is not ideal. If I really have to shove my left hand into a tight space, I’ll take the watch off for a bit and put it back on when I’m clear of that job. Way I figure, an Apple watch is more or less a disposable appliance. So if it gets banged up here and there on the job, I don’t mind.
On days I’m not working though, I’m wearing mechanized art.

I'd like a smart health watch but I'd always rather wear a real watch for fashion purposes. Plus the apple watch is worthless in a few years after purchase

What are you guys doing to get rid of the leather funk smell that builds over time?
The band on my Breitling starts to get not so fresh smelling after continuous use. Not much I can really do about just being a generally sweaty guy.
Currently every so often I'll apply some hand sanitizer to the inside of it and after it dries I'll condition the leather with DeLuca Venetian Leather balm so it won't dry out. Is there something better I can be doing?

Picking up an SRPE07 for my son today, the kid is just as wild about mechanical watches as his old man.

This :cool item arrived today.
Always like the F1's, especially the Series 4 (from the late 2000's) and up.
Tag Heuer, Formula 1, Aston Martin - Red Bull Racing Special Edition
The dial looks really dark, but it's actually a deep blue.

Looks good, let us know how it wears and durability. :thumbup It looks like it's a 43mm quartz.

Thanks, yes it's a Quartz Chronograph - Diameter 43 mm
Won't be a "daily", more of a "special occasion" piece.
Here's a better image than the phone pic, shows the color a little better.
