Everyone has a favorite watch they wear daily, what's yours?

I wear my Breitling Hercules, but am about to replace it with a Breitling Super Avenger.

Anthony...let's say a female with hands that are not very strong wanted to shoot paper targets, the kind that look like the "bull's eye" dart targets - NOT people shaped targets - and asked you to recommend a gun that would be light enough for her to hold and aim and wouldn't have a kick that would knock her down.

I have an intense fear of guns and I figure that the best way to get rid of that is by familiarity.

Also, if I ever get back to working on the several novels I have going, will you be my "gun expert," please. I need one of those. So far, I've got everyone carrying a Sig Sauer because it's fun to say. :)

Funny enough, the Sig Sauer .22's are very light and easily manageble guns for target shooting.

My sister fires the large gun, 3rd row, on the right. It's a Baretta NEOS 22. She's very small and she loves it. Of course now, she's called the FN as hers, but that is exspensive to shoot.

Cool, thank you. I have no idea *why* I want to target shoot, but for some reason, I do. I guess it's the "conquer the fear" thing that truly appeals to me. Also, the books I write tend to involve someone shooting someone else, and you can't write that sort of thing accurately unless you've actually fired something.

One of the sweetest stories I ever heard was of the "mentally challenged" (I hate that phrase, but it seems to have fallen into general usage) young man who wore a broken watch. When asked why, he said "because I don't know how to tell time, so I tell people my watch is broken and ask them what time it is."

"Mentally challenged," but definitely *not* stupid. :) :okthumb:

A watch very few people in the world own

A Gold Seiko CSX retirement watch

My aunt gave me my uncle's retirement watch when he passed away last year
He worked for the railroads (C&O B&O, Chessie systems and CSX - all basically the same company through different changes) his entire life
Ending up as a senior vice-president, he was a railroad man and a damn good one

and I'm very honored to wear that watch every day


(except when I perform and then I wear a .... um special watch)

I have discovered a basic prinicple in life - the more expensive the watch, the more frequently I will bang it on something. I have no doubt that if I ever walked out of the door with a Rolex on, I'd be hit by a steamroller wtihin 20 minutes.

I have a couple of Fossil watches that tell perfect time.

I feel about watches the way lots of women feel about shoes. I love them and have a great collection. All different colrs, some dressy, some fun.

My most valued is the platinum and diamond watch my grandmother left me.

One of my favorites is actually a kids watch with a space motif. The bottom of the hour hand is an astronaut floating in space and the second hand isn't a sweep, but the capsule portion of a rocket ticking back and forth. Whenever the hour hand reaches the second hand it looks like the astronaut is getting fucked by the rocket. I just love it. :p
