What mechanical watch makes you tick?

Postby Super Max » Fri May 18, 2012 7:16 am

Do you own a watch that does not require a battery? If so, this thread is for you!

Name your mechanical watch of choice, and if you feel up to it, tell us why?

My Mickey Mouse watch. Seriously. It really upsets all the Rolex fashion victims and (most importantly) it pulls more chicks than a Rolex.

Stainless Rolex - Not only is it pimp and durable - but you have a hotel room, meal and plane ticket on your wrist no matter where you are in the world

"Us" you know, like... fist there was only "me" but then some people viewed the thread and Mikethehack joined. ONLY then did it actually become "us". I sort of figured a joiner was inevitable. Then of course there is "you" but by my logic "you" are now "us" as well. I'm going to see if I can hook RYP up with a watch manufacturer so that more can share in the giving a fuck.
