Hello - newbie here...

Hi all

Rather than sit and lurk I thought I'd pop a random picture up and say hello before interacting with others.

Here's one of my (small) collection, a Royal Navy issued CWC G10 that I recently wore out to a meal with my Mrs for her birthday. I snapped this pic while she was in the ladies room so I didn't get it in the ear for being more concerned about my watch than her birthday ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Cheers

Andy

Thank you - I try to tell her but she doesn't listen... still, she bought me a BB Pro recently for an engagement present so I'll let her off ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

pssssh! any lady that would give you a hard time for adoring your watch isnโ€™t a lady thatโ€™s worth your time. ditch the ball and chain and get another watch instead.

whatโ€™s that honey? ok. yes, iโ€™ll log off of Watch Crunch now and take out the garbage.

bye, gtg. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hello Andy, and welcome to WatchCrunch! That's a very nice watch, and I love the NATO strap that you have it on. My son has a strap that exact same color on his Casio Arnie. ๐Ÿ˜€

In fairness she got me a BB Pro as an engagement present, so she's not all bad ๐Ÿ˜‚

Cheers - I wanted a field watch as a daily wear as the area where I work can be a bit dodgy and didn't want to wear anything too nickable.

Got this on eBay, then went to CWC and got three new straps and a cover for it, so it's kind of lots of watches in one!

This is my favourite NATO for it.

pssssh! โ€œjustโ€ a BB Pro? she couldnโ€™t scrounge up enough to get you a Richard Mille?? i question her commitment.

in all honesty tho, iโ€™m in full support of the concept of an engagement watch for the man. if she gets an engagement ring, it seems only fair to get an engagement watch. letโ€™s normalize engagement watches!

Defo - I got her a ring and she got me a watch. I started asking for a Lange or a Journe and we met in the middle on the Tudor..

to be fair, i got the GS White Birch Spring Drive before our wedding. so Mrs. Billable Hours isnโ€™t all bad. but sadly it didnโ€™t arrive in time for our wedding so i ended up wearing my Orient Kamasu instead.

That's a great G10. I really need to pick up an issued model, I currently only have new production CWC's.

I hear you about taking the pic wile the wife is away, no need to make them unhappy at a nice meal.
